PNG Cover Art Not Supported?
« on: April 30, 2013, 06:30:08 am »

I have several MP3 files that have embedded cover art as a PNG file.  It looks like Media Center does not support this, because the covert art does not show for any of these files.  Can PNG support be added in a future version?

I got these MP3s with PNGs already embedded, so it was not my choice to use this format.  It would be nice to see the cover art.

It should work.

Could you send a sample file to logs (at) jriver [dot] com?

Thanks.

I will send a sample when I get home. Also, 18.0.175 seems to have a new cover art bug. Art does not show for new files. The image appears as a black square. It will then show if I stop and start play or do something like click tag.

I just emailed three mp3 files that have the issue of embedded art not displaying when the files are played.

Thanks for the samples.

Next build:
Fixed: PNG images that used 1-bit or 4-bit palettes were not loading properly.

This issue traces back to this change:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=76576.0

For 1 and 4 bit images, we were using system drawing to fill from the decoder to a JRiver image object.  But system drawing isn't available by default now that images are not system images unless they need to be.

Thank you for the fix.

I am not sure if this will resolve the second issue too.  That's MC not displaying some cover art for new files.

I just had this happen minutes ago and have screenshots.  Only some images have this issue.  I got the art to show by slightly resizing the main window.

I'm also missing cover art. I merged two libraries and did an import and over half of the 60,000+ files don't have the embedded album art recognized whereas it did previously. Is there anyway I can have MC just rebuild it all?
