No Album art ?

[sashimi]

I am a newbie to Subsonic and after tinkering with Ampache, Ampjuke, and Netjukebox I have to say I have found the almost perfecct solution for my situation. (I need to connect through office proxy and firewall and back to my ubuntu box at home). Great piece of work!!

I am using Apache+Tomcat on Ubuntu Hardy box. The music folder is mounted from a QNAP NAS drive.

So when I startup Subsonic and browse the folders, the music shows up and plays fine. But I am not seeing any album art. My images are usually in same folder as the songs for a given album.

When I see the Tomcat log files, I see java.io.IOException complaining about not being able to create thumnail for the image files.

sorry I cant cut paste the log right now since I am on diff machine

When I look in /var/subsonic/thumbs, all sub-folders below thumbs are empty. What else I need to to to make this work, I have both Java 5 and 6 on the box. But my tomcat's JAVA_HOME is setup to use Java 5.

The permissions in /var/subsonic does not seem to be an issue either.
Do I need to use Java 6 ?

I can cut and paste the exception trace later on.


update: I did change it to Java 6 and it did not seem to help. I forgot to mention another thing. When I click on the missing thumbnail icon next to the album listing on the page, it does pop up the image file! So it is able to access the file fine I guess. Not sure why it can't generate the humbnail.


many thanks

Hi,

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I basically have the same problem, i.e. no cover art showing up automatically, but if I click on the album link, the image then appears (I'm using embedded cover art). I've tried with various browsers, on various machines, but still, the cover art is not showing up.

Strangely, on my previous Subsonic installation (same Subsonic version, same computer, same OS (Linux) and same Java 1.6) I was not experiencing this problem...

So what exactly is the solution mentioned in the post above?

Thans for any help.

Here's what appears in the log whenever I'm playing music:

[28/02/10 17:34:13 UTC] WARN CoverArtController Failed to create thumbnail for /home/olpc/Commun/Audio/ML/Miles Davis/Ascenseur pour l'échafaud/01 - Générique.mp3
[28/02/10 17:34:15 UTC] INFO PlaylistInputStream * listening to "Ascenseur pour l'échafaud/01 - Générique.mp3"

Any idea someone?
