Yes, but that's not an issue as I'm retrieving the current coverid with
the tags:c parameter and not caching it myself so it's OK for it to be
mutable.

Yes. You will find the reference to the image cache ID in the tracks
table of the database. You can call it in other ways than
/current/cover.jpg iirc 
Bear in mind the cache reference will change on a clear and rescan

I generally use folder.jpg for cover art ... so I just tried to retrieve
the cover art for a track that I know has no embedded artwork and the
album has a folder.jpg ... and it worked as I think you would hope.

The correct artwork was shown even though the URL asks for cover.jpg

I think the following rules apply in this order
1. Use embedded artwork in first track of album
2. Use folder.jpg if it exists
3. Use cover.jpg if it exists

[slim] Retrieving cover art via CLI

2021-04-23 Thread philchillbill


The documentation for the CLI states as follows:

Should the file always be called cover.jpg or are other names and/or
extensions possible? I know many people use folder.jpg - does this get
mapped to cover.jpg for this call or would it remain as folder.jpg? Is a
.png extension allowed?
