Album Artwork - Total Frustration

Posted by: Jon Myles on 08 October 2012

I know this has been discussed ad nauseum but this is a final plea because I'm totally frustrated.

Via USB or NAS I cannot get album artwork with FLAC files on the nStream with the Uniti.

I've used Kid3 to embed artwork, put images marked cover.jpg, folder.jpg etc into the folder containing the music files but nothing ever works.

All the replies here on previous queries make it seem easy but it just will not work with me.

Am I missing something very, very obvious?

Is it supposed to work on USB? I doubt this would ever be the case, and the streamer would have to extract the artwork and transmit via Wi Fi to nStream.

 

Regarding uPnP from the NAS, what server are you using? It's more likely that the problem is with the uPnP server rather than nStream as it just displays what it gets from the server.

 

If you can provide a few more details I or other may be able to help a little more.

Jon my setup is a bit different than yours (been using the UnitiServe as a player into my dac).  So my experiences may have nothing of relevance. But you do have two distinct issues perhaps -- the usb and the streaming.

 

As for streaming from your nas to the Uniti, I suspect that your issues are server related. I can't be of any help with that.

 

On the usb stick, when I plug one into my UnitiServe, I can see the artwork in nServe if it's in the same folder as the music files and labeled folder.jpg  That works every time for me.

 

I hope you get this sorted.  Perhaps an email to Naim tech support??

So USB artwork works? Must try it myself sometime, or does this only work when the USB is in the nServe?
