[mythtv-users] Album Cover Art in Mythmusic

[Jason Giddens]

Ok, I got phpMyAdmin installed and working.  I browsed to the settings
table, and there is no entry named AlbumArtFilter, or anything similar.
There are 685 entries, and none seem to have anything to do with art.
Should I create the entry?

Thanks for the help.

Typically I use phpMyAdmin to do database work.  It's a web based
administration tool for MySQL.  Do a google on phpMyAdmin and you'll find it
with instructions on setting it up.  The value is in the "settings" table
and is named AlbumArtFilter and will take a semi-colon delimited set of
wildcards like *.jpeg;*.jpg or like mine: .folder.png;Folder.jpg
