Do I understand correctly that the thumbnailer uses a remote service (7digital?) by default?
>From a user's perspective I would expect to be able to reach this setting from the Music App, but if the use of this remote service is something that is done by the thumbnailer, I am not sure if adding it as an option to only the Music App is correct. If I understand correctly; from an engineering perspective the thumbnailer's job is to get the art, the Music App uses the art, but does not care how the thumbnailer got it. Perhaps this should be a system-wide setting under 'Security & Privacy' instead? I must admit that I am not wholly comfortable with the idea of a daemon (thumbnailer) contacting commercial third party resources without being able to turn it off. ** Summary changed: - No option to disable album/artist/track art requests + No option to disable remote album/artist/track art requests -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to thumbnailer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592108 Title: No option to disable remote album/artist/track art requests Status in Ubuntu Music App: New Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in thumbnailer package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The Music App appears to download album/artist/track art automatically. Is there a way to disable this functionality to save bandwidth? The Music App does not appear to have any user settings at all (unless I am overlooking them). The service used to fetch the art from is far from bug-free. For an album called 'Musik für festliche Stunden' I get an album cover for 'Strauss zum Saubermachen'. While that does seem like an interesting album (clean the house with Strauss?) it is not even remotely the correct album.
