The scanning process happens in several passes, and one of the last passes is the one that catalogs artwork. > If I go to sort by album, gallery view I only see blank image > placeholders.

One of the strange little idiosyncracies of SlimServer, which has to be explained here at least once a week, is that the cover thumbnails are generated from the covers that SlimServer finds during a library scan and stores in its database. When you get to the album view, however, SlimServer ignores the data it has stored and looks for the cover artwork in the file system instead. So it looks like the covers are OK, and that SlimServer can find them when it really needs to, but for some reason the scanning process may not be seeing them. > Interestingly, when I run Moose the album art also does not appear in > this configuration.

Moose probably just uses SlimServer's database to find the covers, so if SlimServer doesn't catalog a cover, Moose won't have it either. > I've looked in the FAQ and wiki to no avail. Any thoughts? Are you running SlimServer 6.5.x? If so, one thing to try is completely clearing the Cache folder. There seem to be a few ongoing issues with the cache, particularly as used by SlimServer's web seerver. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29147 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
