I just realized that amarok doesn't show cover art if it is provided the recommended way, that is, using the VorbisComment tag METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE instead of the (unofficial and deprecated) ALBUMART. It seems that, after a first look at the source code, this METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE tag *should* be supported. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a Ogg Vorbis or Opus file which provides a Cover front Picture with METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE Actual Results: There's no cover picture shown. Expected Results: There should be a cover picture shown. With FLAC files, which also use this METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE tag, it works (though they are no ogg files).
I've added review request #114406 which fixes this.
Git commit 19fc23445bdb2da894ad6ca4096236de2e9fcb1f by Mark Kretschmann, on behalf of Martin Brodbeck. Committed on 19/12/2013 at 05:48. Pushed by markey into branch 'master'. Fetch cover picture from METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE tag. With this patch, covers from Ogg files (for example Vorbis and Opus) using the recommended METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE tag will be displayed.
