Cover art embedded in radiostream doesn't display

Postby sfumato » 02 Aug 2023 16:26

VLC displays embedded cover art or enclosed cover art files just fine for audio files.
However when streaming, this doesn't seem to work.
Here's a stream that shows cover art when using foobar2000, but doesn't in VLC:
http://stream.radioparadise.com/rock-320

Is this probably a configuration problem on my side or does this happen for everyone?

The URL of the image is in the StreamUrl tag:

You should create a new report ticket on the VLC issues tracker with your above report, the link of the radio stream and the link to this thread:
