Hey,

I've found this project a few days ago and I was interested. I've found the instructions to have the covers on the Gitlab homepage. I've tried both method:
— recreate the file hierarchy with cover.jpg files on my laptop
— start a webserver on the MPD computer to serve the files

Either way, the covers are not loading and I've no idea why. I've tried with verbose but there's nothing. Also, with the HTTP method, there's noting in the access.log so I don't know what to do.

Thanks

Hi @koug44, which values did you try for the media path setting?

Please note that the next version will support MPD’s “albumart” command which means that it will load the images directly from the MPD server.

I'm really glad to know for the next version. I had a hard time figuring out how to have the covers, because it's not on your website, only on the Gitlab page. And even then, total failure to do so. But I don't think it's a bug - I think I'm doing something wrong

So, first try with local dir - I've extracted cover as cover.jpg from ID3 and recreated the same file hierarchy than the MPD server

Does not seem to work - and no log to know why.

Second try with HTTP:
I've started a minimal Python http.server at the root of my audio collection on the raspeberry

I put this information on MCG: http://{local_ip}:8000/
And nothing, the access log is empty showing that MCG did not even connect. I was thinking that maybe it was not able to handle the {server}:{port} notation

@koug44, is this still an issue for you with version 3?
