This is really two different bugs. I think the fact that the scanner does not find new artwork except when it finds a new album is known and probably covered by some other bug report. This is new: Until recently you could pick up new artwork by using the web interface to browse to the album (track list) level. If the artwork had not been found by a scan, or if new artwork was added since the last scan, it would be cataloged for the album and when you went back up (say, to Browse Albums or Browse Artists > [artist]) then the cover would be displayed. In the database what I'm seeing is that for track #1 of an album without artwork, the cover column is being set to 0. This seems to have some significance that differs from the column value being NULL and prevents SbS from looking for artwork for that album. This is in both 7.4 and 7.3.4, so whatever change was made that broke the old behavior must have been made to both branches.

There _IS_ a bug here. A fairly minor one, I would guess. It's something that recently worked but no longer does because something was overlooked while changing something else.
I also disagree to see it as 'duplicate'. THIS bug is about a feature, that already EXISTED and got "lost" in some nightly update. The other bug is about some new or additional functions.

Can you'all provide some logs documenting the issue, so we know where to look for a fix? Or propose a fixed patch
James, if you read the msg board thread, it has steps to reproduce. i'm not sure this bug would show in the logs. i agree it isn't a dupe of 9199 however, Jim verified it for the OP.
I just tested - no entry in server. log (nor in mysql-error-log.txt)
Why is this postponed again (to 8.0)? Showing artwork is the MAIN reason to buy a (more expensive) Duet with controler, so it is a feature that should work... :( Thanks Frank
Found out some more: 1. if You change the ID3-tags of an EXISTING file (eg add an "Artist Album"/Band Tag) at the same time You add the Folder.jpg - scanner sees this as "new file" and adds album art (doesn't work with all tags and doesn't work add all if You only save the same tags as before to create a new timestamp) 2. (at least in SOME cases): if the standard symbol is shown and You click on it, the album art (Folder.jpg) opens in a new window. but if You hit "refresh" on the album site, the standard symbol is shown once agein and further on... Maybe this helps? Thanks
bug 4631
Bug still extists in 7.6 / lms-7.7
Feel free to re-open this bug if this is not fixed in 7.8+.
