no more indexed covers

Hi,

Since yesterday, the album covers of newly added albums no longer appear in the BlueOS Controller (MacOS & iOS).
I’ve just checked the latest additions and everything seems fine with the cover files themselves (600 kb max, embedded in files & cover.jpg in album folder, as usual). This is the first time this has happened to me: older additions are displayed correctly, but the albums added yesterday (may be 30) do not show their covers, despite any changes I make.
I’ve triggered a full rebuild index to see if that helps..

Is there a maximum number of albums that can be added? Or a specific size limit for scanning/indexing? I currently have 3 TB of FLAC files, full tagged with Mp3tag.

Thanks

  Did the re-index work? That'd be the first thing I tried if nothing else has changed. You do sometimes get some funny things happening - earlier versions of BluOS would do funny things like change the case of names if you changed a file - https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2018/02/14/maildump-bluesound/

  Hi Dan, the re-index or rebuild didn't change a thing, . The only solution I found is to neutralize or delete files like "cover.jpg", "folder.jpg" etc. in albums folders, it seem that a conflict between embedded covers and "cover.jpg" or assimilate is the source of the bug.

  cover & folder.jpg will take precedence over embedded art. I think the problem, if we can call it that, is probably the size of your library. If indeed you have 3 TB of flac, this could amount to 100k files. Indexing will take some time. I only have 0,5 TB for about 16k of flac files and building the index goes relatively fast but the loading of the art in the player lags a little behind. I would try to give it some more time, certainly if you work over wifi.

  Just to confirm that cover.jpg trumps all, so “should” always be used by BluOS first.
