Problem with some album cover...

Benlatak · October 14th, 2008, 01:55 PM

I have the last version of CF and I find a strange problem with some album cover.

In the library, no problem, every album cover is displayed.

In play mode and for several directory, the album.jpg is not displayed. Just black color instead of album cover or instead of the picture for "no-album cover".

But if I put the picture with the problem in another directory it's good...
And when I put a "good" picture from a "good" directory in a "wrong" directory, the problem reappear...

What's going on

that is very strange... maybe try to enable logging and create a system report, it might show something...

I will try to investigate in this way...

For the moment, error.log always say :

Input string was not in a correct format.

remove all your 3rd party plugins, that error is being caused by a plugin, same plugin might be causing other errors...

After disabling all 3rd plugins, error log was still the same...

But, After switching between my aura "modified" skin and original aura skin, error log become free. Probably an syntax error or something like this when I modified the skin.
I test this several times to be sure.

BUT... my problem with album cover is still there.

Tomorrow, I'll do 2 report log : one with directly play an album with correct covert art and the other with directly play an album with "missing" covert art.
By this way, the 2 log will be easier to compare.

I had this issue also. never got to post a log from the final build due to hardware failure, but this is the same issue I had, which I was told was system specific

Would be very good to see a solution

Ok, after some test, the "centrafuse.log" are the same.

Nothing appear in this log.

I think the problem come from the "plugin" that read album art (folder.jpg or album.jpg)...

posting the log could help when read by myself and engineers here... it has things that could help us, but go unnoticed by others...

if you add -logevents it should fill up with lots of information when running... You can also go to Advanced Settings and enable logging in General settings, then load an album that has the problem, then just create a system report and post it...

Ok, for the log. I will try to post it in a few moment.

Just another thing I forgot...
So, several art cover are not display in play mode like I say in my first post
BUT in library mode, all the album cover are good displayed..

that is strange, if it shows in one it should show in the other... can you click the small window in the media player and rotate to make sure it's not messed up trying to play a visualization? if you single click that window it rotates off album art and through a few visuals, try to rotate to see if the album art comes up eventually...
