@ -281,31 +281,29 @@ 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 resources 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 it has embedded artwork, this will be used as the artwork for this file;
- failing that, if /bar/foo.{png,jpg} exists, it is used;
- failing that, if /bar/{artwork,cover,Folder}.{png,jpg} exists, it is used;
- failing that, if /bar/bar.{png,jpg} exists, it is used
For "groups" (same album name and album artist), the situation is a bit
different:
The naming convention for album and artist artwork (group artwork) is as
follows:
- 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 artwork found
(embedded or in the same dir and named the same as the file) is used. Here
again, 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 for individual songs is not supported, artwork for individual songs is
found by resolving to the group artwork.
{artwork,cover,Folder} are the default, you can add other base names in the
configuration file.
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 on forked-daapd's side.
You can use symlinks for the artwork files; the artwork is not scanned/indexed.
forked-daapd caches artwork in a separate cache file. The default path is
/var/cache/forked-daapd/cache.db and can be configured in the configuration
file. The cache.db file can be deleted without losing the library and pairing
informations.
