Bugzilla – Bug 4565
Look for new or changed music does not pick up new art
Last modified: 2011-04-28 09:05:21 UTC
If, for example, the files are changed from an mp3 format to flac, or the files are renamed to a different format, a "look for new or changed music" scan does not display the thumb view of the album in a browsing of albums by artist. A full rescan is required for the album thumb to be displayed in the album view of the artist.
This is a duplicate of bug 2931 and/or bug 2116.
not to mention bug 4130. At all times, a full rescan has been the instruction for gathering a complete list of artwork. Removing this requirement is an obvious goal, but one that has not been claimed as achieved.
FYI - A full scan takes about 5 hours to perform on my system. During which time SBs become unresponsive and I cannot listen to any music effectively.
Alex, that might count as a separate bug *if* you are using Slimserver 6.5 or higher, which have the scanner as a separate process. However you did not make a note of your Slimserver version. If you are using an older version, you should try upgrading.
Sorry for not specifying. I am using the nightly 6.5.1 release.
What kind of hardware are you running on? As for the duplicate bugs, this bug IS a duplicate of those other bugs, but if one actually reads those other bugs, it should clearly be an enhancement request now that the split scanner is a reality (post-6.5.0) so have changed the severity, milestone, and Summary to reflect that.
this: https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9271 appears to be a dupe of this bug. however it has good info in it.

Moving 7.4 bugs to 8.0.
(In reply to comment #10) > Moving 7.4 bugs to 8.0. Excuse me !?! This needs to be fixed (or this bug be closed and https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13315 be fixed). Fix it before 8.0. Period.
This bug has been an annoyance for users of the browser interface since forever now. For those who bought the duet controller, they must wonder why they wasted their money. This really needs to be fixed before the Squeezebox Touch is available to buy. It looks quite likely that full rescans on the Touch will take a very very long time. Logitech are going to face a torrent of vitriol if album art is not detected along with new music without having to do a full rescan. This bug needs to be in the high priority group.
== Auto-comment from SVN commit #29037 to the slim repo by andy == == https://svn.slimdevices.com/slim?view=revision&revision=29037 == Fixed bug 4565 and probably others: * Changed all artwork URLs to use a new coverid field, which is not based on the track ID but on the URL+mtime+filesize so any changes to one of these values will result in a new URL and correct artwork. * Removed the findArtwork scan phase, artwork is now found during the main scan phase. * Added a new precacheArtwork scan phase that should do a better job precaching everything that hasn't already been cached.
I can report that it doesn't work if you browse to a song where the album doesn't have artwork. i.e. when browsing to a song, it reads changed tags, but artwork fetching in this way is still iffy. Sequence of steps: 1. I had run a scan for new/changed albums 2. It detected a few new albums since my last scan, but I had forgotten to store artwork for one album, and I also noticed a typo in the album name. 3. I changed the album name tag for each song, and added a folder.jpg in the folder. 4. I browsed down into song info for each song on the album. 5. This caused it to re-read tags for each song. 6. The album name is correctly displayed in the New Music list, and the album is first in the list. The album artwork thumbnail is displayed in this list. 7. Browsing into the album displays the correct album name, but the artwork is not displayed (even after refreshing the page in the browser). 8. Browsing to songs on the album shows the correct album name, but the artwork is not displayed. 9. Browsing into View Tags for each song shows the correct tags, but not the artwork. Incidentally, I get the opposite effect with another new album - the artwork isn't displayed in New Music, but is displayed when I browse the album or songs on the album.
Note this is only fixed in the embedded branch...
Andy notes this is now fixed in 7.6.0
Mickey please put a comment about what to discuss in the bug meeting
(In reply to comment #17) > Mickey please put a comment about what to discuss in the bug meeting IT gets the artwork with the scan (for new and changed music)
