"Allow Metadata Network Access" but no album art, etc. being downloaded.

Postby vlcwiz » 10 Aug 2015 06:50

I have the latest vlc 2.2.1 installed but it won't download album art to distinguish between downloaded files in my playlists the majority of files are downloaded as .flv or mp3 but I usually do convert them to .wmv before storing. OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit w/ SP1 installed. Any guidance is respectfully appreciated in advance.

Does not work here either using 2.2.2 now.
Sadly this whole metadat thing is broken, been searching for a way to do it for days and there is no solution in sight. Even other extensions are outdated and not working. I have the "Allow metadata network access" enabled.

I believe the metadata server is down.
