getting art with libvlc_meta_ArtworkURL

Postby mangokm40 » 18 Jan 2019 19:31

I've been using "libvlc_meta_ArtworkURL()" to display the art embedded in '.mp3' files. The function returns a "file:///" MRL.
I had not used '.flac' files until today. When I call the function for these files, it returns an MRL like "attachment://picture0.jpg".

I notice the art is still copied to: %APPDATA%/Roaming/vlc/art/artistalbum/<ArtistName>/<AlbumName>

Is there something I don't understand? Is there a reason '.flac' and '.mp3' files return different values?

Thank you.

Sorry! The art is only copied to %APPDATA% when I play the .flac file in VLC. I guess the code that does this is not part of libvlc.

Hi,

This looks like the problem described in https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/15219
Are you using libvlc 3.0 or later?

Thanks for the link.

Yes. This is with 3.0.6 libvlc.

Actually I had the same issue a few minutes ago, we will look into it for 4.0 at least, and depending on the fix, we'll backport it to 3.0

Thanks for taking the time to respond. It's always nice (& rare) when I didn't mess up somewhere. :)
