Description Liam Whiteside 2007-12-23 02:03:05 UTC

By default, jpg files created in Windows (ie using Windows Media Player to RIP CDs) will create a Folder.jpg file (and AlbumArtSmall.jpg).  SqueezeCenter wasn't finding these even though the documentation seemed to suggest that if there wasn't a cover.jpg it would use folder.jpg.

I found that if I changed Folder.jpg files to folder.jpg and did a 'Clear Library and rescan everything' they magically displayed.

So, in Artwork.pm I changed the line to read:
my @names = qw(Cover Thumb Album Folder);

I don't know any perl so can't make this look for both cases, which I assume is what's really needed.

If I now rescan with this change in place, it finds all my artwork.

please do not preset targets. 

I think that you have basically reported the same 'issue' twice (bug 6541). If you need Folder.jpg, you can use the setting in server settings->interface for Artwork filename.

Bugzilla exists as a tool for tracking confirmed bugs, so that QA and developers can improve the product.  Misuse just gets in the way.  We appreciate every effort in understanding the need to keep things organised.

Apologies, just got carried away filing in fields.

The same issue, but as I saw it caused by different parts of the server, hence separating them into different reports.

Most software that works across platforms automatically deals with issues of filenames between case sensitive and case insensitive systems.  When I found Squeezeserver artwork didn't work for me, it took quite a wile for me to work out the cause of the problem.  I couldn't find anything in the forums or KB.

I'd posted this in the forum and was asked to post it here as a bug.  Sorry if it wasn't appreciated!

It appears that Andy fixed this earlier this week.  Please grab the latest nightly and see if it's improved.  Reopen the bug if there's still an issue.
