Missing Artist / Album artwork

Postby RBEmerson » 23 Dec 2016 15:13

I'm rolling over from PlayerPro to VLC. Most of the process is almost seamless. But... I'm missing some artwork. In fact, as far as I can tell, much of the material showing artwork came from Jamendo.com. My collection of Paul Simon, Boston, etc. come up blank.

I'm in Germany at the moment. Am I running into a DRM issue here? (For example, for some reason Gangnam Style was blocked on YouTube) Is there a way to either port the PlayerPro artwork (preferred) or search online for artwork (as done with PlayerPro)? AFAIK VLC doesn't seem to support this under Windows or Android. Or does it?

VLC looks for embedded artwork or cover file in media folder.
Later we may provide online scraping to fint missing artworks.
