Missing cover arts :(

[gerroon]

Hi guys

I do not understand why Ampache fails to find cover arts. Here is an example of what Ampache has and what the folder has. I have coverart in both places.

In case it is finding the album here since we do not have file paths in Amapche I do noy know what comes from where. These are the two references.

Have you already tried running a manual “gather art” command? https://github.com/ampache/ampache/wiki/Catalog

Yeah I tried it already. It really gathered art, but not for all. I am still tryin got figure it out,. Has anyone had similar issues with it?

What is your setting for album_art_store_disk in the config file (double check if its commented out)

Yes, mine stopped gathering cover art somewhere in version 5. When I updated to version 6 it gathered all art correctly that had been missing for 6 months or so. However, when I add music to version 6.0.3 now via Catalog>Add, it is again not loading the artwork. I have my config set to load from metadata first and all my music had images embedded. I can use the individual album Cover Art Edit, and the first image appears to be the metadata image so I select that and save. Don't understand why I have to manually pick it. I have not tried the Catalog "Gather
Art" yet on V6.

Well, it is commented out by default & that's how mine is.
; Album Art Store on Disk
; This defines if arts should be stored on disk instead of database.
; You must also set a local_metadata_dir below. This folder should be
; a local folder that is not accessible from a browser.
; DEFAULT: "false"
;album_art_store_disk = "true"

; Local Metadata Directory
; This define a local metadata directory OUTSIDE the web path with write access.
; This is used to store heavy data if enabled (album art, waveforms, etc)
; DEFAULT: none
;local_metadata_dir = "/var/www/metadata"

Why should that need to be changed?? I think I am happy with the art in DB

[mitchray]

Doesn't need to, just if it was on disk then it would probably be a file permission issue

Running the catalog "Gather Art" does seem to work, tried it on a couple new albums today. I Assume it's using my metadata images??
