# Artwork
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OwnTone has support for PNG and JPEG artwork which is either:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- embedded in the media files
|
||
|
|
- placed as separate image files in the library
|
||
|
|
- made available online by the radio station
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For media in your library, OwnTone will try to locate album and artist
|
||
|
|
artwork (group artwork) by the following procedure:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- if a file {artwork,cover,Folder}.{png,jpg} is found in one of the directories
|
||
|
|
containing files that are part of the group, it is used as the artwork. The
|
||
|
|
first file found is used, ordering is not guaranteed;
|
||
|
|
- failing that, if [directory name].{png,jpg} is found in one of the
|
||
|
|
directories containing files that are part of the group, it is used as the
|
||
|
|
artwork. The first file found is used, ordering is not guaranteed;
|
||
|
|
- failing that, individual files are examined and the first file found
|
||
|
|
with an embedded artwork is used. Here again, ordering is not guaranteed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{artwork,cover,Folder} are the default, you can add other base names in the
|
||
|
|
configuration file. Here you can also enable/disable support for individual
|
||
|
|
file artwork (instead of using the same artwork for all tracks in an entire
|
||
|
|
album).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For playlists in your library, say /foo/bar.m3u, then for any http streams in
|
||
|
|
the list, OwnTone will look for /foo/bar.{jpg,png}.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use symlinks for the artwork files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OwnTone caches artwork in a separate cache file. The default path is
|
||
|
|
`/var/cache/owntone/cache.db` and can be configured in the configuration
|
||
|
|
file. The cache.db file can be deleted without losing the library and pairing
|
||
|
|
informations.
