Cover identification
Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2015 5:39 pmAt first, I did not understand the cover identification feature of Subsonic. I clicked the Google button, and nothing happened. But then yesterday, suddenly each page for which I had clicked "change" had an array of possible covers. This is a great feature, but needs some work.
1. Say somewhere that it might take many hours to populate the cover database.
2. Make the cover image size adjustable. Often I cannot read the cover to see if it is correct. Alternately, enlarge the cover when clicked, and then let the user decide if it is correct
3. Even when covers are successfully downloaded, they are not displayed in the Artist grid. Can't the database be updated for the individual new cover?
4. If I then rescan to update the database, some of the images are shown, but not all of them. This really bugs me, so is there a way to tell what the problem is?
5. Exactly what are the image specs required to get them into Subsonic?

5. Exactly what are the image specs required to get them into Subsonic?
- Can they be embedded in the files, or must they be in the folder?
- What names are allowed for the folder image files?
- How big can the images be? I had previously posted that large images get displayed with screwed up colors.
- What must be done to make them appear?
