Display cover of radio stations #557
-
Hi, thanks for the great work on mympd! I really enjoy this cool piece of software! For playback actual radio stations, I'm sending an adtitional URI directly to the mpd-client, this is also shown/controlled by mympd after playback started. In previous versions the cover of the radio station was also displayed by mympd, in the new version 8.0.4 there is no cover displayed anymore. |

In my environment the display of coverimages for streams works the same as in older versions. I need debug output to investigate further. |

It seems all is working as designed. Coverfile must be: /var/lib/mympd1/pics/br-br3-live_cast_addradio_de_br_br3_live_mp3_mid with extension: jpg, png, webp, etc. There is no api call for this, use /albumart/http://br-br3-live.cast.addradio.de/br/br3/live/mp3/mid to get the cover. |

Yes for sure, but in previous version the path was delivered back by api call... Why is the current path not given back by api call? I only get this back: http://IP:PORT/albumart/ but the part of http-radio-string is missinng. manually editing the full path is working at all http://IP:PORT/albumart/http://br-br3-live.cast.addradio.de/br/br3/live/mp3/mid |

Which api call you mean? There is no api call because the myMPD web ui does not need an api call for this. |

Overall I use mpd/mympd in a smarthome multiroom application running 4 instances in parallel for different users/rooms. Every person in the household has it's own mympd/mpd package. Aditional in smarthome interface rooms, valume, etc. can be controlled via api without need going directly to mympd- ThereforeI control the music playback in two different ways:
This is working very reliable for files in the database. For the radio station, the api call remains empty, the path is not fully delivered any more. In previous version this was working also very well for the radio stations. |
