Description Andreas Kuhl 2011-07-26 13:36:46 UTC 
Version:           2.4-GIT (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

Querying DBus with "qdbus org.kde.amarok /Player GetMetadata" only gives the low-res 135x135px cover (file:///home/ademmer/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/albumcovers/cache/135@3c214fcb4727e08846956b95b93cf425) for arturl whereas the hi-res 300x300px version is also available in ( file:///home/ademmer/.kde4/share/apps/amarok/albumcovers/cache/f42e070e3d3dc0a18128670393c9bbb0).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a MP3 track to your collection
2. Let Amarok fetch the hi-res cover

Actual Results:  
lo-res cover exposed over dbus

Expected Results:  
hi-res cover exposed over dbus
Comment 1 riaasm 2011-07-31 09:36:44 UTC 
This also happens to me with Amarok 2.4.3. I noticed it because the Now Rocking plasmoid shows cover in a lower resolution than what is embedded in the file and set in Amarok. This causes the cover to be distorted and hazy, as can be expected from low-res images.
Comment 2 Andreas Kuhl 2011-07-31 09:48:01 UTC 
Yep, I noticed this bug first because NowRocking showed a lo-res image. I suspect the dbus behavior described above to be the root cause for this issue.

Setting status to confirmed.
Comment 4 riaasm 2012-04-14 11:48:20 UTC 
In case it's relevant, this still occurs in 2.5.0

Pushed by alexmerry into branch 'master'.

Construct the MPRIS1 arturl the same way as the MPRIS2 mpris:artUrl

Now we try to get the full size version before falling back to a reduced
version, and we encode the URL properly.
FIXED-IN: 2.6
