Is anyone else currently getting this error?

access_http error: error: HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway

Album art is not coming up when I play albums, no settings have been changed

Im still having a problem, VLC is not getting any album art from the web, version 1.0.2 Twoflower
Is it a server problem?

Can someone please assist

Please update.

Sorry the version is 2.0.1 Twoflower

Really dont know why im not getting an answer, is there a problem and your just not saying?

Sorry, but you are a bit vague on what you are doing.

This is all im getting when I play an album, I used to get the album cover but I have not gotten it for a while now, no settings have been changed, I even cleared all my cache and re-downloaded VLC.

This is the issue

Why is it prooving almost impossible to get an answer on why the album art is not appearing?

Because it did not find it inside the FLAC.

I thought it got the album art from the net?

I got an Alexander O'neal album going now which has a jpeg of the art and its still not showing

Well if it does get the album art from the net it is now working & on the above log its now getting the album art
