[QUESTION] about configuration for images

[othmar52]

Hi Artur,
I do have tons of albums (directories) with image files. But the filename of those images does not follow a special convention. Is there a chance that O!MPD uses found image-files with ignoring the filename?
something like

$cfg['image_front'] = 'folder,front,cover,*';

Do you have any feedback on this issue?
In case you are coding some improvements in terms of image handling it would be great to support multiple images per album as well.

Just putting my hand up for this feature too please. I stopped embedding art into my flacs awhile back since it didn't make much sense to have the same high-res image repeated 12 times. I just put a high quality image in the directory called cover.jpg and sometimes additional images for back covers etc.

Partially done in 50d050b: $cfg['image_front'] is now a semicolon separated list of file names that should be used as album cover (first found file is used as a cover).

Thanks ArturSierzant, i just pulled and tested this and its made a wonderful difference to the presentation of my collection. Thank you 👍

Necroing this post... =) But what is the '$cfg['image_back'] ' used for?
I don't have the back images in my collection but I do have the cd arts... so I added cdart and discart to that cfg, but where is it supposed to show?

I was actually hoping to use the cdart on albums I don't have the proper cover, but adding it to the '$cfg['image_front'] ' part makes them the default since apparently the filenames listed there are loaded in alphabetical order, so before 'folder'.

But anyway, what is the '$cfg['image_back'] ' for? I can't seem to find a way to display them in any way.

This left after Netjukebox - it's not used in O!MPD (yet).
