I've recently reported this message/error in various circumstances, but tonight I discovered that a bunch of my Audible files are giving me the "failed to load from inside files" message in the "Image" Tag Window, and these files refuse to allow me to add cover art to them at all. I tried to "Update library from tags" (which usually works to pull art out of aa files), but it doesn't work on these files.
I also tried to copy and paste art to these files, which "seems" to work at first (i.e. the image appears in the Image TW), but as soon as I navigate away from the file and back, the art is gone, and I once again get the "failed to load from inside file" error. It seems like I "should" be able to manually add art to aa files even though the art can't be written to the tags of aa files -- shouldn't it just be "linked" to the aa files in this case?
If I "Remove Cover Art" from these files, the error goes away, and I instead see "no image" in the Image Tag Window. As soon as I do an "Update from tags" OR Copy/Paste operation, however, the "failed to load from inside file" comes back again. Unlike the mp3 files that have given me this "failed to load" error before, I have so far been unable to get art to "stick" to these aa files.
As far as I can remember, I only started seeing this within the last several weeks or so, so it seems like it's a relatively recent issue.
As of yet, I can't see any pattern to why some of my aa files have this issue while others do not. A lot of my aa files don't have this issue, but I still have hundreds that do, so it's effecting quite a few of them.
One other thing: I navigated to some backups of these files (i.e. copies of these files that are NOT imported), and they displayed the same issue. Thumbs were immediately built for many of the files, while the rest display the "failed to load from inside file" message.
I'm happy to send one or more of these files to someone -- please just let me know where to send it.
Thanks,
Larry
