MM4 doesn't show art browser with details.

by **SBMongoos** » Sat Dec 29, 2012 1:08 pm

Mine loads but when I choose different song the album art doesn't update to match the song. I can move through the art and double click to a song but then it leaves the library as well. The odd thing is, again, is the library doesn't update or scroll to match the current song.

It uses a thumbnail for speed. Reading embedded or external art (doesn't matter which you use) would be really slow with large images. Thus caching/using smaller copy is a logical choice.

LL,

I'm not sure if this is listed as corrected and closed as of 4.0.1 or open with your final comment from December being explored. I do know it was improved somewhat but still not up to snuff. Thanks for taking the initiative to leave the comment on that thread. Let me know if there is someone else other than you I should be nagging to

It seems that artwork can be stored in two ways: one in the folder and another embedded as an image in the mp3 file itself (?). Does it currently default to using the smaller image? Or one type of file over the other?

LL,

Thanks. Will do.

Is the graphics issue on developer radar?

2) The Art & Details window still shows the cover art for the selected or Now Playing file and can be moved if you enable the Titlebar (same as in MM3) from the context menu.

LL,

On (1), how do I clear that cache?

Am still getting a lower resolution on the album cover picture when in "flow" mode.

Thanks, as always,

Even if I start from Details view, if I click on "show art browser with details", all that happens is the details pane gets moved down about an inch and a half. Then there is a blank pane in the space above the details with a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of it. There is nothing displayed in this pane. It is just blank.

Hi Lowlander,

Thanks for your reply,

For whatever reason, the way album covers are displayed is at no where near the same resolution as the first files themselves. In fact, they show up clearer if I just using the single/static cover view on the side of the screen. I have also seen the same images displayed on the itunes album cover browser and the images are considerably sharper.

On your second point, I will give that a whirl. Thanks for the direction.

Peace,

Maybe related: in the last 100 it does not remember the settings, everytime it goes back to all details.

Yes, this is true. This bug has already been reported, will be fixed in the next version. http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8612

Dear Nohitter,

Two other things related:

1) The way it's currently programmed, when pulling up thumbnails for the "show art browser" mode, the default is to display the smallest file-size thumbnails which show up as grainy. And that's even when I have thumbnails at a much clearer resolution associated with the track; either as another tag saved to it or in the file itself.

3)On MM3, we used to have the ability to show a single album cover and place it on the left, bottom most side of the screen beneath the tree. This is something also worth bringing back. Don't know why its current placement has been locked down.

Thanks,

-NR

I'm having this problems also. I can't even select the Art Browser.
