blank album art

[nikclayton]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  No album art is visible.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Instead of album covers I see black squares.  Note that I don't see the default icon
that shows when there is no album art.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Squeezer 1.0.1 on a Nexus 7 with android 4.4.3

Please provide any additional information below.

I have the old squeezebox that doesn't show album art, so I never had a reason to get
album covers until I started using Squeezer.  I recently downloaded album covers, and
they show up in the squeezebox server web interface, but not in Squeezer.

Squeezer is a great app by the way!

Hhhm that sounds strange.

The black squares are what you see when Squeezer is waiting for album art to be downloaded
from the Logitech Media Server. It appears that Squeezer is not able to download the
album art.

I haven't seen that before, but here are a few things you can try.

1. Album art is fetched via the LMS webserver. Check that a portnumber has been set
for the webserver and that the port is not used for anything else on the computer the
LMS runs on. Select settings / Advanced tab / Network (from the dropdown).

2. Try to "clear the music library and rescan everything" (via settings on your LMS).

3. Try to clear Squeezer data. On your nexus 7, select settings / apps / select Squezer
and select Clear data. You will have to enter or scan the address of the LMS after
clearing the app data.

Sorry, this was a problem on my end.  I did not realize the pictures came from the LMS
webserver so I didn't think to check firewall settings.  I just had to open up port
9000 for my tablet, and everything works fine.  Thanks for helping me figure that out!

@nikclayton, I was wondering if this very old issue was related to the cover on a specific track from LMS or related to the cover for an entire folder/album?

When navigating to "My Music"/"Music Folder"/Movie, I see covers on individual tracks (where the cover is embedded in the track) but NOT on folders containing albums (which each has their own cover.jpg).

Is it possible to also get a cover for folders using Squeezer/LMS or is it not implemented in LMS? I'm just not sure if it is possible or if it is an issue somewhere in my setup.
