That’s interesting! To do a useful investigation, we’ll need a reproducible setup that causes the problem. Please update this thread if you find a situation where this happens reliably.
It looks like I was mistaken and the albums where it didn't work had the tracks in subdirectories for each disk. The folder structure then looked something like this:
Albumtitle
├── CD1
│ ├── track-1-1.mp3
│ └── track-1-2.mp3
├── CD2
│ ├── track-2-1.mp3
│ └── track-2-2.mp3
├── CD3
│ ├── track-3-1.mp3
│ └── track-3-2.mp3
└── Cover.jpg
Using this structure fetchart
doesn't seem to find the cover image file.
Aha! Yes, I don’t think we currently handle this situation. We may already have a ticket for this, but if not, please feel free to open a feature request here.
Problem
When importing with the
fetchart
plugin enabled and usingfilesystem
as the primary source, sometimes the album cover file isn't moved into the library folder. After the import has finished, the album folder is empty except for the cover file. When I copy that file into the album's folder in the library afterwards and dobeet fetchart
for it, the cover is imported successfully.I imported about 10 albums and the problem appeared with 2 of them. All albums had the cover (
Cover.jpg
) in their folder together with their sound files.The problem doesn't seem to be album specific. I tried removing an album from the library that previously had that problem and could reimport it with the cover file being carried over.
I didn't run beets in verbose mode at the time, but I will do next time and post the result if the problem occurs again.
Setup
My configuration (output of
beet config
) is:
