[Request] Use ID3 album cover tag as folder picture #653

Open gbmaster opened 7 years ago

gbmaster commented 7 years ago

As far as I understood, a picture is shown in the album folder only if there's a picture file in the folder itself. Isn't it possible to use the album cover stored in the mp3 file (the one already used when playing a file)?

Hey Aldo,

Sorry for the late reply. This is indeed currently not the case, but would be a really nice feature. I've marked this issue as a feature request.

Steps to implement this are:

Extend api_fetchalbumart in httphandler to try to find an image for a folder by scanning multiple media files in the directory if there is no cached album art and if there is not image in the folder. (I suspect that the image in the folder is actually the best match, so only try to get the image from the mp3s if there is none)

Thanks for the suggestion!
