[Feature] animated cover art #343

Closed betapictoris closed 1 year ago

betapictoris commented 1 year ago

Streaming services such as TIDAL and Apple Music now have animated cover art for some albums. It would be nice to be able to put a cover.mp4 or cover.gif file and have it pick it up.

gifs should be fine i think - gonic will already serve files like cover.gif, etc :+1:

as for video formats - i doubt there are any subsonic clients that would be happy if a server returned a video as cover art. even web clients won't work if they are natively putting the images in an <img /> tag

either way, maybe it's a good idea to propose this at @opensubsonic discussions

if it's something that's agreed upon we could add it to gonic too
