Description Adam L. Taylor 2025-02-08 21:33:05 UTC
SUMMARY

Elisa fails to show embedded cover art for the Matthew Sweet album "100% Fun" in the "Albums" pane.  It just shows the fallback icon.  If I rename the *folder* containing the .mp3 files from "100% Fun" to "A Lot of Fun", the album appears properly.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. I have the Matthew Sweet album "100% Fun" in my music directory, with e.g. relative path

Matthew Sweet/100% Fun/01 Sick Of Myself.mp3

for the first song in the album.  Each track of the album contains an embedded 498x500 image of the cover art.  The tags are all ID3v2.4 tags.  They are all tagged as "Front cover" (CF) images, and show up fine when I look at the track files in Puddletag.  I can also export them from the tracks as .jpg, and those .jpg files open up fine in gwenview.

2.  Do 'Reset database and re-scan everything', just to be sure.


OBSERVED RESULT

In the Albums pane, the album is shown without the embedded cover art, just with the fallback icon.


EXPECTED RESULT

The embedded album art should appear in the Albums view.

This is still reproducible with Elisa 25.04.3
I tested with a folder "Band on the Run-25th Ann Ed". Album art shows in the Albums panel, playlist and the top banner.
If I shut down Elisa, rename the folder to "100% Band on the Run-25th Ann Ed" and restart Elisa, the album art is no longer shown anywhere.
