[slim] Re: 6.5.0 and cover art strangeness
I had a similar problem when I first moved to 6.5 but it turned out to be some obscure references in the tag that were created by iTunes (I think) - the coverart tag was followed by a 20ish character alpha numeric string. The problem occurred even when the file had a separate "folder.jpg". From memory, MP3Tag was the only tagger that could "see" the tags. I deleted the offending tags and everything was fine. Hope this helps.

[slim] Re: Artwork not diplaying correctly
I finally worked this out. I recently used musicbrainz to tag some files and in some cases an obscure coverart reference was added. The result was the messed up cover art. I also had to clear Firefox's cache to make sure that the proper coverart loaded. Anyway, it's all working again so it's all good. Thanks Mr Sinatra for the input. -- Wallaby Wallaby's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26568 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Artwork not diplaying correctly
HI guys, I've done all the usual searches of the forums and the bugs and can't find any reference to my problem so I'm hoping that someone can help. I keep my artwork for flac files in the album folder and each cover is called "folder.jpg". Nothing unusual there. My MP3 artwork is embedded in the tags. My MP3 artwork displays fine but my flac artwork is a mess. Much of the artwork shows just half the cover (for both thumbnails and covers). The point at where the cover cuts off seems to have no rhyme or reason. For example Beatles red album shows 3/4 of the cover but the blue album shows only half (for info, the top half is always shown but it cuts off part way down the picture). And for some albums, the artwork displays fine. The jpg files appear OK in photoshop etc and are quite small (generally around 25k). I am running the current v6.3 with a library of about 600 albums and 7500 songs. I have tried clearing and running a complete rescan...I have tried updating to the latest 6.5b...I have done a complete uninstall and manually deleted any leftover files and followed by a reinstall and the results are the same. I can't see any unusual tag fields for the files. Has anyone got any thoughts on what's happening? cheers Scott -- Wallaby Wallaby's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26568 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] "Now Playing" instead of title
Hi guys, this is my first post here since I took delivery of my SB2 about a week ago. The SB2 is great and and has surpassed my expectations. I've got a small issue and I'm not sure if it's something I've done or whether it was the upgrade to Slimserver 6.1.2. Anyway, the SB2 display is defaulting to the words "Now Playing" but before it used to display the artist and title that was playing. I can change it to display the artist and title with the keypad but it changes back to "Now Playing" (presumably after a refresh). I'd obviously like it to display the artist and title of the currently playing music - can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the old display back I'm sure there's an easy solution, so I'm sorry and thanks in advance. regards from downunder Scott This is a good start - I even posted in the wrong forum:-O. Can an administrator move this to the beginners forum - sorry. -- Wallaby ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
