Subsonic Forum

https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/subsonic/index.php?title=Settings claims that there is a cover art setting. But on Linux, there is no such beast (see attachment). So how does one get rid of cover art? It is a totally useless thing when you have 5000 albums.

The wiki is referring to a previous version of SS which had a batch art downloader I believe (before my time).

Err delete it
If you mean do not display it then settings/players -cover art size = off
This will stop cover art display in the now playing window for that player.

I want Subsonic to stop looking for and storing cover art. It makes lots of error messages in the log. See my other post.

SS does not "store" album art it only makes (or tries to) thumbnails of the available artwork.
If you remove all the entries in settings/general - cover art files that should stop SS indexing most of your art work.
Cover.jpg seems to be hard coded so that still seems to be indexed.
Not sure about embedded art though as I don't embed my art into tags so cannot test.
