change default cover name

[eoli3n]

Hi, I renamed every cover files as folder.(jpg|png). It works well. But the problem is that i use O!MPD mpd client, which print big covers, so i need them to be in a good resolution. O!MPD search for files named as folder.png, as mpd-notification. The problem is that my notification daemon (dunst) prints cover as it finds it, if the cover is 800x800, it prints me a ~ 800x850 notification. I want to generate cover_thumbs.(jpg|png), 200x200 with imagemagick and then tell to mpd-notification to looks at these files.

Have a nice day.

I reworked parts of the artwork stuff:

• No image path is given to notification daemon. Instead the image is read into a pixbuf and handed to the notification daemon. Hopefully that makes dunst show all images, not just png ones.
• I introduced a new parameter --scale (or -s) to give the expected image size. Keep your files as-is and let mpd-notification scale for you.

Can you please try the branch pixbuf?

Standalone lauch still not working, so I did

git clone https://github.com/eworm-de/mpd-notification
git checkout pixbuf
make
systemctl --user stop mpd-notification
mv mpd-notification /usr/bin/
# edit mpd-notification.service
systemctl --user start mpd-notification

Here my .service file

[Unit]
Description=MPD Notification
Requires=mpd.service

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd-notification -v -t 5 -m /home/music -s 200x200

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Then i checked if pixbuf was installed

# pacman -Qs pixbuf
local/gdk-pixbuf2 2.34.0-2

Still not working. Then Icon which was displayed at wrong resolution, now are not displayed. journalctl doesnt warn any error

Another thing, i saw in dunst log

 Could not load icon: 'audio-x-generic'

So i installed gnome-icon-theme, it does not work more. Thx for helping

Oups sorry, i dont know what i missed, i retried and then

 user@osz  ~/dev/git/mpd-notification   pixbuf  ./mpd-notification -v -t 5 -m /home/music -s 200x200

Looks like you may be interested in these dunst issues:

• add support for more image formats for icons
• Icon support inline raw image data

I added a workaround to make it work for you. With latest commit there is a new option --notification-file-workaround. Please note that the scale option expects a single numeric value only. So your command should look like:

mpd-notification -v -t 5 -m /home/music -s 200 --notification-file-workaround

[eoli3n]

--notification-file-workaroung is working. Thx a lot Will you keep that option named like that ? and merge it to the master branch ?

[eworm-de]

Yes, I will keep the option naming (so no short version) and yes, I will merge to master. Thanks a lot for testing!
