I did this via SSH: ln -s /mnt/NAS/DNS-320 /var/www/covers

I have tried this "http://tcmods/covers/FLAC/Pop Rock/Linnea Olsson/Linnea Olsson - Ah!/cover.jpg" and I can see the art in web browser

Unfortunately I still can´t see album art in Web GUI of TCMODS. As before I do see it in MPad app.

Any idea what to do?

Hi,

Verifying that the url works in the browser is important and suggests that the problem is in the cover art lookup module itself. I will investigate this.

One more piece of debug information that would be very helpful is the output of the browser error log (or console log). I am interested in error 404 lines that appear when you start a track playing.

When a cover art file cannot be found by the lookup module you will see four error 404 lines where each line contains the url. Please post back these 404 lines.

To enable the Browser console log do the following. I am only familiar with IE and Safari but other browsers should have a similar feature.

Internet Explorer 11 - press F12 key

Safari 7.1 - (1) Prefeences/Advanced/Show develop menu in menu bar (2) Develop/Show Error Console

btw, thanks for your continued effort! :)

Hi,

Just a quick update on what's been completed so far for release 1.2 :)

(1) The album art lookup module has been updated to use the mpd music root as the album art root and set the necessary symlink automatically on player startup. This appears to support arbitrary music dir structures for NAS and USB sources, and it eliminates the need for manual symlink setup.

(2) bug fixes!

Next is to look at improving the Webradio feature by adding new choices to the action menu.

- Add new station
- Edit station
- Delete station
- Import stations

======================
1.2 Release 2014-10-DD
======================

Bug fixes

- FIX: Remove extra WDET file present in Webradio update 3
- FIX: Wrong copy cource for webradio batch update in utility.sh
- FIX: album art lookup failing on usb source due to case sensitivity

Updates

- UPD: Improved album art lookup eliminates need for specific music dir structure or manual symlink
- UPD: Webradio update 4

Hi,

The attached image shows a prototype Action Menu that contains additional functions (create/edit/delete/import) for managing Webradio stations.

I added a UI mod to this new code to highlight the item row when the Action Menu button is clicked so it's clear which item is associated with the Action Menu. This works for all sources in the Browse panel :)

Looked very carefully and comprehensively but couldn't spot the timer for clock-radio.....?
Maybe I am going blind (or do-lally ?) in my dotage....? :D:D:D

No Pressure ! :)

Thanks so much for the updates and continued developement efforts.
There are only so many hours in a day..! (So my comments are more gentle in intent than they may seem in print. :eek::) )
 
Hi,

Clock Radio is still on the to do list :) but for now I am working on building a more complete set of basic features into the player, and of course fixing bugs! Thanks for your continued patience.

With regard to Clock Radio, below is a basic design for purpose of discussion.

(1) The action menus for song/station/playlist/folder would contain a "Set for Clock Radio" pick.
(2) The selection would show up under Source: below
(3) The settings could be in the System page, a new separate page or on a popup modal. There could also be an icon on the header that toggles the Clock Radio on/off.

CLOCK RADIO
Enable: YES/NO
Play: HH:MM AM/PM
Stop: HH:MM AM/PM
Source: song/station/playlist/folder
Auto shutdown: YES/NO
Shutdown time: HH:MM AM/PM

I have downloaded latest beta version and it works fine. but I'm still having an issue to display cover art. Both in playing view as well as in library view. All covers are stored as cover.jpg file in the same folder as music files - album folder.
Any idea what can be wrong and what to try?
 
Lets take a look at the browser console log. I am interested in error 404 lines that appear when you start a track playing.

To enable the Browser console log do the following. I am only familiar with IE and Safari but other browsers should have a similar feature.

Internet Explorer 11 - press F12 key
