Title:
"cover art" and "cover art search" plugins do not seem to do anything
(undocumented last.fm requirement)
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Running Rhythmbox as default install in 12.04 Beta 1, I didn't see
album art for many of my albums. I found that "cover art" and "cover
art search" were already selected in the plugins, but that did not
seem to matter. No documentation appeared anywhere online or in the
built-in help related to cover art. There were no menu options that I
could see appearing or disappearing when enabling/disabling the
plugins.
It was impossible to tell whether Rhythmbox couldn't find the cover
art, if it wasn't looking in the first place. Furthermore the cover
art was missing which was present in some cases with Banshee in Ubuntu
11.10.
I was finally trying to submit a bug report, ran
rhythmbox -d >& rhythmbox.log
and started searching through that log file. I finally happened upon this
line:
(13:42:39) [0x1175690] [LastFMSearch.search]
/usr/lib/rhythmbox/plugins/artsearch/lastfm.py:303: can't search: no last.fm
account details
That is the ONLY place I saw mentioned that a last.fm account might be
related to cover art searching. While it's perfectly reasonable to
require some kind of service to fetch album art, this requirement is
obscure and invisible to the user.
There are a couple of bug reports about cover art fetching not working
which could easily be a result of this.
