Hi Hans,

Here is what I did and make it work:

ln -s /var/lib/mpd/music /var/www/Music

where "/var/lib/mpd/music" stores all my music files.  In MPod,

1. set the URL for cover art to "http://<voyage ip>/Music" in MPod.
2. rename the cover art as Folder.jpg in the corresponding album directory.
3. You need to restart MPod to make the change effective, somehow.

Regards,
Punky

Hi Hans,

Please read:

MPod and MPad search the cover arts under http://machine-ip/music. So I think it needs to make a correct mount point in lighttpd.

Can you also post your lighttpd.conf?

I have no experience on the cover arts, but will explore it in the next MPD release.

Hi,

Here is a question about cover art.

Voyage Linux MPD is working great the only thing not working is cover art with Mpod and Mpad.

Every album is in a simple directory structure /artist/album

Besides the music tracks in every map “album” there is also a file named folder.jpg (the cover art).

I edited lighttpd.conf to /mnt/public as the file where my music is located.

With an other (Windows)PC I see (Internet Explorer) all the music at http://192.168.1.31 <http://192.168.1.31/> (the IP of my Voyage MPD computer).

So the lighttpd fileserver is working good. (I think).

In the Ipod setup for cover art I set : URL = http://192.168.1.31 <http://192.168.1.31/> file name folder.jpg.

In the Ipod setup, setup for albums is “per directory”.

I tried to change everything but still do not see (local) cover art.

Could you explain how the above (simplest) system should work? (Or can it work?)

Maybe a simple setup or howto guide would be welcomed by many users.

Kind regards,

Hans
