Bug Reports
#1

REPRODUCIBILITY: 100% (always)
OSVERSION: 4.5.0.18
HARDWARE: Sony Xperia XA2 - h3113 - h3113 - 1.0.0.11 - armv7hl
UI LANGUAGE: Italiano (user: it_IT, os: it_IT.utf8)
REGRESSION: no

DESCRIPTION:

The media player is not showing covers from albums despite the cover being embedded or as jpg file

PRECONDITIONS:

have some music, in various formats and various cover art types

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Load some albums into the memory
  2. Open the jolla media player
  3. See part of the cover are not displayed

EXPECTED RESULTS:

To show all the covers

ACTUAL RESULTS:

Most embedded covers are not shown, especcially ones from flac and ogg files, and will 100% not show in the album list if there is more than an artist on the album

by the way, this is not a regression, it just never worked, from day one…

MODIFICATIONS:

  • Patchmanager: no
  • OpenRepos: yes
  • Chum: yes
  • Other: none specified

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

I thought default media player would not display embedded cover art, which in fact are mostly missing, but i have some flac albums that have embedded art and it’s showing. Seems anyway to ignore ogg cover art and flac mostly. I’ll attach an example anyway…

This bug is indeed very old! I see this happen for every album in which the songs are from various artists. If every song has exactly the same artists name, cover art works.
Possible reasons and solutions have been discussed here:
