Album Art

Support for Album Art is provided via 3 options

• The Connected MPD server is Version 2.1 or greater

• Using a separate HTTP file server. The MPD Album Path value is derived from the "file:" tag on one of the songs in the album. See MPDAlbumArtServer for an example file server

• Enabling Search for Image File will enable the search for album art image files (cover.jpg/png and folder.jpg/png all cases) in each album directory. Note: selecting this option will be slower as each directory search is an addition MPD API call.

• Downloading from an available UPnP Media server.

Configuration example for an HTTP File server like Apache HTTP Server

If the configured port is 80, the Document Root is set to "/var/www/html", the album art files are stored in a directory called "coverart" (full path is "/var/www/html/coverart" and the name of the files are "config.jpg"

• Set the HTTP port configuration value to 80
• Set the URL prefix configuration value to "/coverart"
• set the Album Art Filename configuration value to "cover.jpg"

The URL will be assembled as follows

http://[IP address of HTTP server]:[Configured HTTP Port][Configured URL Prefix]/[Music DB directory structure]/[Configured Album Art filename]

e.g

http://192.168.1.1:80/coverart/James/The%20Best%20Of/cover.jpg

Note: the directory structure under "/var/www/html/coverart" must be the same as your Music Database directory structure

An example of how to copy all cover.jpg files from your Music DB is:

• Change directory to where your Music DB root is
• Run the command

  find . -name 'cover.jpg' -exec cp --parents \{\} /var/www/html/coverart \;

Configuration example for NGINX

server {

listen *:8080;

    location /coverart/ {
       root /media; # modify to fit your music directory
       rewrite /coverart/(.*) /$1 break;
       allow   192.168.178.0/24; # modify to fit to your network
       deny    all;
       autoindex on;
   }
}
