Artwork
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
forked-daapd has /some/ support for artwork, with a number of limitations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Embedded artwork is not supported; ffmpeg doesn't support this yet, if and
|
||||||
|
when it this is added to ffmpeg, forked-daapd will support it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Your artwork must be in PNG format, dimensions do not matter; forked-daapd
|
||||||
|
scales down (never up) the artwork on-the-fly to match the constraints given
|
||||||
|
by the client. Note, however, that the bigger the picture, the more time and
|
||||||
|
ressources it takes to perform the scaling operation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
As for the naming convention, it is quite simple; consider your foo.mp3 song,
|
||||||
|
residing at /bar/foo.mp3:
|
||||||
|
- if /bar/foo.png exists, this will be the artwork returned for this file;
|
||||||
|
- failing that, if /bar/artwork.png exists, it will be used.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For "groups" (same album name and album artist), the situation is a bit
|
||||||
|
different:
|
||||||
|
- if a file artwork.png 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 artwork found is
|
||||||
|
used. Here again, ordering is not guaranteed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can use symlinks for the artwork files; the artwork is not scanned/indexed
|
||||||
|
in any way in the database and there is no caching.
