Hi list,<br>
<br>
I'm using mythtv 0.24+fixes and noticed that mythmusic doesn't display<br>
embedded album art from flac files. It works fine with mp3's though.<br>
<br>
To tag the flac's I used Easytag and read the comments in the wiki about<br>
letting Easytag change the file date in order for mythmusic to pick up<br>
the changes at the next scan. I also enabled writing ID3 tags to the<br>
flac files in EasyTag. If I put a cover.jpg in the folder it displays in<br>
mythmusic.<br>
<br>
Is there a way around it? I would like to use the embedded album art. If<br>
it isn't possible (yet?), does anybody know a tool which can extract the<br>
album art for a whole folder tree?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

I have found that in order to get a decent picture on my 1080p screen, I need to have VERY large album art. In the +500KB range. Then I'd have to attach that image to EVERY song. That's just multiplying the storage of that one image at least 10 times (assuming a whole album). I just put the cover.jpg in the folder, and MM picks it up fine. I understand wanting to have it embedded for use on an iPhone/iPod, but Rhythmbox converts the cover.jpg just fine for each song. I'm just curious as to your use case that's all. Thanks!</div>
