album art thumbs not generating despite being in tag [#17802][#17868]

Post by lueromat »

I have just given MM5 a try, and it imported my database from MM4. I have all my artwork in tags, and this is working fine in MM4. However, in MM5 not all thumbs are shown for artists or albums, although they are present in tags.

When I select an album, its art appears in the lower right panel (under "selected"). When I double click that album, the thumb for that album in the main panel is generated, but not for the artist thumb.

Any thoughts?

Do you mean the artist image grid (e.g. in the Music > Artist) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/yk1wrqtejxoqv ... 0.png?dl=0
?

Do you have the Tools > Options > Metadata Lookup > [x] Artist images
checkbox enabled or disabled ?

Yes I mean the image grid, but I don't want artist images, but instead album covers, as seen here - works in some cases:

I don't believe you have public viewing enabled for that link.

Thanks, tried with clean library and with the [ ] Artist images disabled and I see the same.
Not so many artist/albums missing the thumbs, but definetely some of my albums/artists are missing thumbs even when the album tracks have the artwork assigned.

Tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17802

EDIT:
Testing build 2401 and I found that for me only the first row of the Music > Artists [Grid] is missing artwork, but restart MM5 solves the issue.
There seems to be an issue that getting thumbs for the first row seems somehow canceled.
But for the other rows I see the thumbs for every artist that have at least one album for which the _first_ track (of the album) has an artwork.
Can you please check whether the first track of the album has the artwork assigned for the artist/albums with missing thumbs?

For me all tracks have the album art, which will always be shown in the "Selected" panel on the lower right when I double click on the artist in the grid.

In the detail view, sometimes the stored album art will be shown next to wikipedia text, sometimes the art will be fetched online.

I don't see a clear pattern yet

I just installed it - it didn't change anything. Anything I could try to reinitiate the cover detection? As I said: the covers are there, and they are being shown in the bottom right as I leftclick on an album.

I think you have found inconsistency in artist image handling, tracked as: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17868
Will be fixed in the next release.

I'm on 5.0.1.2412 now. it didn't change anything, so I reinstalled, wiped the database, and reimported from MW4 - still does not work.

I also noticed that in the tiles now some covers are wrong. i.e., the correct on is shown in the bottom right, the wrong one is shown in the tile.

also, now stuff album cover in tile gets updated when I open the details view, although I deactivated it
