Album art switcher

Postby octopus22 » Tue Oct 27, 2009 3:48 pm

In many cases i have more than 1 cover img in album folder.
Background, inlay, front, cd or even may be inlay card.
I don't need to download cover at new, nor want to create magic manipulations with localhost file names. It can be very simple to change image to another from the same folder as option.

I'd like to see this too. My albums often have front/back and the actual cd image in the album folder (named something like album-*back*.jpg, album-*front*.jpg and album-*cd*.jpg). Subsonic seems to sort them alphabetically and chooses the first one (which is usually *back*.jpg).

I too dont want to change the actual filenames on disk, I'd rather subsonic kept this information in it's own database.

Was there a solution for this? Just come across this with an album. My mp3 file has Cover (front) and Cover (back). Regardless, Subsonic has used the first one.

+1

Even when you change or delete images in the folder, subsonic keeps it in the database, very annoying.

For the original problem, I'm pretty sure in the settings somewhere there is a line where you can choose the order that it looks at images in. I think the default is something like
Code: Select all
cover.jpg *.jpg

You can problem change it to something like
Code: Select all
cover.jpg front.jpg back.jpg *.jpg


For the problem of the image not being updated, Subsonic caches the image in the browser session. If you clear the browser cache or just log out and come back later the change should show. I'm 99.9% positive the images aren't actually kept in the db.

Yes daneren2005, you are right.
Images are stored in the browser cache only, after clearing it, the images are updated.

Thank you.
