Hi -

Thanks for looking in Michael.

It does seem to be random, and after a clear and rescan the albums
showing the wrong artwork can be fixed, only for some other albums that
were previously OK to then show wrong artwork.

Not sure if you would have seen my topic post, but this was my
description of what I see:

Sometimes artwork for an album shows the art for the wrong album, but
always an album by the same artist. When it does occur, some albums of
the artist show correct artwork, some do not (in other words its not
like every release by an artist is impacted). The incorrect art shows up
everywhere, browsing by album, browsing by artists, new music, etc. It
shows regardless of which web app skin or iOS app I use.

I keep on seeing instances of this in my collection.

I do not use embedded artwork, only folder.jpg in the same folder as the
media files
I have verified the albums with this issue do not have embedded art, and
I have verified the correct art is in folder.jpg
My collection is 6189 artists, 7489 albums

Hardware is dedicated Intel NUC i7, library is stored on 8TB ssd in the
same box (not an external drive). LMS is the only software on the box.
OS is Ubuntu 20.4. 

Total genres: 22
Total artists: 6261
Total albums: 7633
Total songs: 124797

I am a database guy in real life - I copied the library table to my Mac.
What I see:

1) In the tracks table, one or more rows for the album that shows the
wrong artwork has the wrong path (the path to the wrong artwork) in the
"cover" column. All other rows for this album have the correct path in
the "cover" column.
2) In the tracks table, the rows with the bad path have a different
value in the "coverid" field than any of the other rows for this album.
3) In the albums table, the value in the "artwork" column is the same
value that is in the "coverid" column in the bad row(s) in the tracks
table.

... anyway it is hard for me to imagine this is a widespread bug or I
think a lot of people would post about it. I am wondering if I have
something set up wrong, but I did do a complete purge of LMS from my
system and re-installed - did not fix the issue...

TIA for any insight - I do have a scanner log run on debug and happy to
send that and my library.db over if it is of any help.
