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. +in any way in the database and there is no caching on forked-daapd's side.
