showing coverart

Postby alliallo » 12 May 2022 16:11

Hello, in my media library, main window, when playing tracks or albums, how to make it so that the cover art of the music being played shows automatically somewhere?
Is it not a feature? If I click 'Media Information' I can see that there is coverart embedded in the file.
Runnin' newest version i guess, 3.0.17.3

Embedded cover art should be automatically displayed in the main VLC window.
Check the menu View and untick the Docked Playlist option.

Maybe :)
So I move the thread to the correct section of the forum.

Just been Googling how to resolve this 'basic feature' of a media player, and it seems it's still not possible with VLC! There are threads going back nearly 10yrs on here about it, and yet it's still not available! Wow...
