You missed the space between "tracker-processes" and "-r".

You missed a space between "tracker-processes" and "-r". Try again.

Upps.. how embarrassing. You see, I did mess it up. Now it worked, I think. However, no cover art still... My music files are in the Music folder. Should they perhaps be in the "Audio Clips" folder instead?

Did the "to TMP and back" routine again also - no luck.

ps. Another curious thing is that names one artist as "Various artists" although in file manager its neatly under "Pixies"...

There is a "Music" folder? I only see the "Audio clips" folder in the file manager. I suppose it doesn't matter as long as the tracker finds them.

So, you tried these steps?

1. Move folder with music/art to TMP
2. Reset the tracker database (the "tracker-processes -r" thing)
3. Move the folder back
4. Start media player
5. Wait for indexing to finish
6. Play music, see cover art while track is being played

Did that (now also did the resetting of the tracker database in between moves of the folder to TMP and back to Music). Nothing. I guess it just does not want to show them... tempremental little thing, ain't it?

Edit: Okay, tried it with your files. I downloaded your two files into ~/MyDocs/tmp, then moved the directory into ~/MyDocs/.sounds, and the art shows up. So I think there is another bug -- the art has to be indexed by tracker (it must setup something somewhere) rather than just being put into the media-art directory before it will show up in the media player.
If you've downloaded cover.jpg and all-i-really-want.mp3 and put them side-by-side in the same directory, I would expect that to work.

However, if you look in ~/.cache/media-art/, you'll see the name of the file is wrong. This means that other things attempting to use the media art spec will not be able to communicate with whatever's going on in Tracker's indexer.

There's another way to reproduce my problem:
  1. Get an MP3 and set its album tag to "Greatest Hits" and its artist to "Queen", call it one.mp3.
  2. Get another MP3 and set its album tag to "Greatest Hits" and its artist to "The Drifters", call it two.mp3.
  3. Create ~/MyDocs/tmp/foo/, put one.mp3 and cover.jpg inside it.
  4. Create ~/MyDocs/tmp/bar/, put two.mp3 and cover.jpg inside it.
  5. mv ~/MyDocs/tmp/{foo,bar} ~/MyDocs/.sounds
  6. Open Media Player and browse the album view. You should see "Queen - Greatest Hits" and "The Drifters - Greatest Hits" with different cover art. But you won't :-)

Agreed. So, can I set that bug to "CONFIRMED" or do I just vote for it? I'm pretty new to this bugzilla stuff.

Yes, it certainly seems that way.

I suppose you could try converting your art to the PNG format (and renaming it to cover.png), then trying those 6 steps from my earlier post again. PNG works for me, whereas I've not tried any other image formats (JPEG, etc) with tracker. It doesn't seem like it should make much of a difference, though, unless there is another bug in our version of tracker.

Unfortunately, you've gotten to the point where my knowledge of tracker ends.

Good luck!

Should not be a file format issue, as one of the cover arts that I saved and IS showing is in .jpg format.

Anyway, thank you so much for your kind help. Hopefully the new FWs will make tracker work better too.

No. You should have a _space_ in front of -r. Then it should work. It takes some time after you restart the mediaplayer to rebuild the database and for the cover art to become visible. I have about 9700 songs and for me it takes about ten minutes for the Tracker to locate everything after running this command.

EDIT: only two same answers before me... Should really have checked also the next page...
