jaguar..x: re. coverart vizuals
« on: May 15, 2006, 01:19:42 am »

from the bug thread:
This is a minor bug, that had existed for a long time since MC10 I think.

Almost all of my audio files contains the cover art inside, and I am used to use the image file in the visualization.

Ok, the strange behavour occurs when I change the skin of the player while playing.  Th visualization changes the cover art image to the default Media Jukebox 8 icon, I do not know why this happens (this is a new installation, my old PC died some time ago).

Some comments?

Best regards.

P.S. how can I post an image from my local disk, to better illustrate the bug?

I don't use internal art. All my art is kept in a central directory. If I move, or rename, one of the coverart files using explorer, MC obviously doesn't know about this, so, if I then select a track from that album, and look in the action under "file properties > image" instead of art work, I see the file address that MC holds for that album, like so...


and if I then load a visualisation, damaged layers IV in this case, I get an impromptu appearance from good ole 'Surfin' Jukebox' ....


Although you have art inside the file, might be worth checking you don't also have a broken link to an external image file too.

you need to first upload the image to a webserver (there are free services around, imageshack, for example) which gives it an internet address. You then include that in your post. To have the image display in your post rather than just a link to it, you wrap the link in image tags (without the spaces)...

like that.
