The artwork for gallery view is processed as part of the scan as this greatly reduces the wait for loading gallery view if the server has to check for 50 albums worth of artwork each time you load the page. A single album track list uses artwork that is found in real time as it only needs to look for one image. At one point, this would update the gallery thumbnails, but this created problems when users deliberately had no artwork, and for certain cases of file formats and artwork filename settings. > I asked on another thread but didn't get a reply specifically to the > question: do I need thumbnail versions of the cover art or should > slimserver resize them automatically? > The server resizes and caches the thumbnail images, so you only need a single image per album. -kdf _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
