💬 Description

My album artwork is not showing up consistently, especially compared to Shuttle+. After some troubleshooting, it appears that the file format is the root issue.

When using JPEG local files (eg: albumart.jpg in the folder alongside .mp3 files), the artwork does not show. However, upon converting the file to PNG (albumart.png), it starts showing as expected.

When using Shuttle+, I can get both file formats to work correctly, it seems that S2 may be missing support for JPEG files.

UPDATE: after some more debugging, I discovered I could rename albumart.jpg to album.jpg and get the correct behavior. So it seems to be more an issue of the file name rather than the file format as I originally suspected.

🦶 Reproduction Steps

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a directory
  2. Add a music file (eg: .mp3) with no embedded images
  3. Add a JPEG artwork file (eg: albumart.jpg)
  4. Rescan

🤔 Expected Results

The album art should be displayed for the album

😲 Actual Results

The album art is not displayed (only the default "disc" icon appears)

Upon converting albumart.jpg (JPEG) to albumart.png (PNG), I get the expected results.
