VLC Version 3.0.21 Displays Wrong Album Art

Postby Dryne » 01 Jul 2024 03:38

I have single FLAC files with embedded album art within the FLAC tag. It is a JPG image sized 1000x1000 pixels. It is not displaying the image from the tag. For reasons unknown it is instead displaying the artwork for track #1 of the same album. This does not even match the Folder.jpg file. It would make sense if it instead displayed Folder.jpg, but it is not even doing that. This is a bizarre and weird issue.

Below is a screenshot of the FLAC in question playing:

This is not the embedded image from the FLAC file. This is the embedded image of track 01 from the same album.

Below are screenshots of Tag & Rename showing the embedded album art for the FLAC file:

There are absolutely no other images in the tag except for the single one shown by Tag & Rename.

Delete the images cache folder: %appdata%\VLC\art
