[mythtv-users] Album Cover Art in Mythmusic

[Jason Giddens]

Hmm.  I am about to go n00b on you, but I don't know how to change the
database option.  Care to explain in more detail how to fix this?

Thanks.

Actually, AlbumArt vizualization should pick up, by default, .jpeg/jpg,
.bmp, .png, and .gif.  There is a setting in the DB (I'm not sure if it made
it into the GUI) to set the wildcard.  You can set it restrictive (like
folder.png) or expand it, but it defaults to the above wildcards.
