Hello,

I have an XSPF playlit like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<playlist xmlns="http://xspf.org/ns/0/" version="1">
    <title>A Title</title>
    <creator>Foo Bar</creator>
    <image>file:///H:/music/picture.jpg</image>
    
    <trackList>
        <track>
            <title>Track Title</title>
            <location>file:///H:/music/track.mp3</location>
            <duration>178051</duration>
        </track>
    </trackList>
</playlist>

But VLC don't display my picture

Is it a bug ? Or maybe you choose to not implement this part of the XSPF specification for a technical reason ?

VLC has no notion of playlist-wide image. There is no place to show it in the UI even.

The XSPF specification explain that this image is a default image if there is not image in the trackList.
trackList has no image element, but each track can have an image element.
So I think it is a little mistake in the specification.

There is a place to display the track image in the UI, so if the track has no image this playlist image could be displayed instead.
