Show album art or song as it is showing on SoundCloud (in image resolution, in open network broadcast)

Postby mayconhvab » 26 Jun 2022 00:49

Hello moderators, I would like you to add the function to enlarge the size of the album cover of the file to be played in the "Open Network Stream" of SoundCloud songs and audios.

Here is the link to the audio that played, in VLC Media Player: https://soundcloud.com/tonyz-576186842/ ... oad-so-far
Here are the example prints to add the cover size as the official size of the song, which is "500x500" ie; 500 by 500, which is 500 by 500 resolution.
To play online directly in VLC Media Player, add this function to future VLC "VLC Media Player 3.0.18 and VLC Media Player 4.0

Link to images to be used as an example:

https://prnt.sc/LpQklxYPx1AD - (Definitive example)

that's an issue in our the lua script, we retreive the artwork_url which is relatively small,

this: https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-00020773 ... -large.jpg

the fullsize artwork is stored somewhere else in the page (the "og:image" meta property apparently),

this: https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks-00020773 ... 00x500.jpg

I opened a ticket on our bug tracker to track the issue there https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/27099
