@ -189,26 +189,26 @@ 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 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.

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 /bar/foo.png exists, this will be the artwork returned for this file;
- failing that, if /bar/artwork.png exists, it will be used.
- if /bar/foo.{png,jpg} exists, this will be used as the artwork for this file;
- failing that, if /bar/{artwork,cover}.{png,jpg} 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;
- if a file {artwork,cover}.{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 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.
