TMS 6.0.30 does not display cover art from folder.jpg

Hi,
I'm running 6.0.30 on QNAP TS-109II (qpkg distribution).
On my Yamaha RXV-1067 AV receiver, the cover art (I have a folder.jpg in every folder) is no longer displayed (used to work with 4.4.17), except for very few folders. For most folders I get a "placeholder" picture (grey square with music notes).
Any clue?
Thx in advance for your help,
Best regards,
Stéphane.

Please go to the TwonkyServer media browser and see if album art appears there. If it doesn't I may ask you to send me a sample folder for testing purposes. All I need is a single song (track 1) and the JPEG.

Hi Rick,
Thx for getting back to me.
Indeed, in the media browser I also get the placeholder bitmap.
How do I send you the files?

Hi Rick,
I have the very same problem like Stephan. No album covers except for a few albums (although I used the same method "Folder.jpg" in the folder for all my albums). As Stephan says also in the TwonkyServer media browser no album art (except the same few ones) appears. This is the same for version 6.0.30 and 6.0.33.
So, the same question from me: How can I send you something to have you look into this?
Thanks,
Bernd

sba. Given that you're using a Linux platform, you should rename all your "folder.jpg" files to "Folder.jpg"
Bernd, yours could be a different issues, as you mention 'Folder.jpg"...
Anyways, with version 6, going against all user friendliness 'standards', PV coders decided to make this case sensative (in terms of code).

Well (with my professional developer hat one) I definitely don't think this was a wise move.
True, my NAS, as many others, is Linux-based, but it is, as the NAS concept implies, a server, to which only Windows clients are hooked. And I expect that this is the most frequent situation at customers.
Windows is case-preserving, but case-insensitive. So it's very uncommon, and annoying, that one needs to pay attention to case.
Furthermore, renaming a file by just changing the case typically doesn't work on Windows, unless you're using special tools or tricks.
I'll check whether this does solve the problem, but you should file a change request so that the old behavior is brought back, or at least that it be made configurable.
Thx anyway for your help.
Best regards,
Stéphane.

Hi Rick,
Renaming works -- for my Yamaha AV Receiver, that is, for some reason the Twonky Media Browser still displays the placeholder pictures (need to restart the server? rebuild the database?)
Other users might be interested in the following PowerShell script I used to automate the renaming process:
Code: Select all
# set $basedir to the root of your music tree
Get-ChildItem -Recurse $basedir -Filter folder.jpg | Where-Object -FilterScript { $_ -match "(?-i)folder" } | % {
$newname = ($_.FullName -replace 'folder\.jpg', 'Folder.jpg')
Write-Host "Renaming '$($_.FullName)' to '$newname'"
Move-Item -LiteralPath $_.FullName -Destination $newname
if (!$?)
{
Write-Error "Failed"
}
}
HTH
Best regards,
Stéphane.

Hi Rick,
I have obviously a different problem, because all my files use upper case for "Folder.jpg". If it is of any help to find out the issue: with release 6.0.33 the Media Browser now shows a question mark sign for the album covers that do not display. It's reallly annoying and I would really appreciate any help on this.
Thanks
Bernd

Please retest with TS 6.0.34. If you still have problems, please let me know and I will try and create a bug report for this.
