Album thumbnails not being generated?

Hi all,

I have just updated to 4.7. I seem to be having an issue with album art after the upgrade, a bunch of my albums were suddenly showing missing album art. My library has a mix of albums with cover.jpg in the folder, and art embedded in the mp3 tags. Has the behaviour changed so it only reads one or the other now?

Anyway, I have gone through some of the albums to download to new art. I click on the album, click 'Change' under the missing album art and choose the new art. It downloads cover.jpg to the mp3 folder OK. I click back to go back to the album. I now have 'Change' and 'Zoom' under the album art but it still shows it as missing (ie non thumbnail). If I click on the zoom button it shows the art.

Has anyone observed this same behaviour? Or know where I begin with troubleshooting this?

Thanks!

Is it possible to clear the album art cache out and have it rescan it all?

sorry, didn't look hard enough. I have just found this post which suggests doing a 'reload frame'. This seems to sort the issue....

sorry for the stream of conciousness, but for interests sake I wouldn't mind knowing why a bunch of my album art just disappeared? Does subsonic no longer read it from id3?

Still reads embedded art ok on my setup :? With the same limitations as before eg 1st available (eg track 1)

Something's up, I have lots of albums with the default album art (in the recently added, random pages) yet when I click on the album it shows the correct album cover there. It's like it's not generating the small thumbnails for those front pages?
