album art/cover with http interface
Posted: 02 Sep 2010 15:47
Hi all,
I try to get/save on my hard drive the albumart of what vlc is playing for displaying it with a http interface.
When cover is downloaded from vlc, it is saved in the file:
But when the cover is tagged inside the MP3 file, vlc can display the image but doesn't use the cache folder.
So is there a way to retrieve the album art from vlc with the http interface or with Lua (I've only saw arturl from metas tags in Lua) or something else ....?
thanks in advance (vlc 1.1.3)

Code: Select all
[0x26a0800] main playlist debug: Album art is local file, no need to cache
