Cover art not showing

[williamwgant]

Greetings,
I've got a substantial MP3 library and I've noticed that I can't get cover art to show up without opening each and every album. My albums are listed under the artist as well, so it's even more tedious (since I can't images at the artist level at all). Is there a way to get this stuff imported in bulk? The files were previously managed in windows media player and I have used a tagging program to embed album art. The art shows in media player, but won't in VLC. I've made sure the VLC can download meta data from the settings and it does work when I open an album up.

Currently running windows 10 latest, if that helps any.

Ok, this is even stranger. I deleted the various hidden album art and folder.jpg files that windows media player puts in. If I open a folder full of mp3s in vlc, the cover art shows. It even shows as the art of that folder when I navigate back tot he parent. But if I close VLC and reopen it, the artwork is gone until I once again navigate into the folder. Currently running VLC Media Player 3.0.17.4 Vetinari, and no updates are shown pending. Is there a known bug list somewhere I should be looking at?

Hitch, it's not about saving but showing

William, please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.
