use %ARTIST - ALBUM.jpg in the sever settings for interface, cover art.
also works for thumb art.

I plan to expand this later, but it was just simplest to do the above and
leverage the titleformat subroutines.  the % at the start is the flag to trigger
this format.  Sadly, its one or the other for now. titleformat style OR raw
filename.

Hm, I can't get this to work. I've enabled debugging for d_info and read the
/log.txt. No matter what I enter for the Cover Art Title Format, SlimServer
always tries to load a .jpg named as the track's title, i.e. it uses the
'default argument' of 
	$cover = infoFormat($file, $1, "TITLE").".jpg";

So, %ARTIST - ALBUM doesn't work for me, am I doing something wrong?

Patch to improve variable cover art.


This fixes the problem.  Cover art setting can use any item typically used in
TitleFormat.  Start with % and end with the file suffix (default .jpg)

ie:

%ARTIST - ALBUM
will add a check for "U2 - Joshua Tree.jpg" when looking for covers on any
songs
on U2's Joshua Tree album.

%ARTIST - ALBUM.gif will look for "U2 - Joshua Tree.gif", etc

patch included.
