Album art on Nstream

Posted by: latecomer on 05 October 2012

Hi all,


Currently I get no album art whatsoever from my flac files on my D-link 320 NAS, despite naming thumbnails in the various music folders album.jpg or cover.jpg.

 

I've tried searching through a few older threads on this issue, and am I right to say that my problem is purely due to the D-link having a rather "lousy" uPnP media server on it?

 

If it isn't though, I'd love any help on how I can fix this. Otherwise I think i'd take a hammer to the dlink so i can go get myself a synology.

 

cheers!

Tried folder.jpg and cleared my image cache, no luck.

Hi mcsucker, Your case is more for the nserve, whereas mine is for the nstream? The only suggestion is to put in tags for everything?

Regards nstream, whats its upnp source?

It's the built in AV server on the d-link 320 nas. Which I suspect might be the issue but I can't be sure.

With iTunes there is a buttton "Download Album Art for All Albums" you press that and in matter of minutes your set, hi-res images for every album, you never touch any files or folders what so ever, it just works.

 

But you seriously saying that you manually need to download and re-name and paste every albumart.jpg into a specified folder? For every album? Really?

I have a bunch of empty album art, it is so tedious trying to insert some of it, Even the Beatles box set  5 didn't come thru.  I've had to stop downloading CDs on my Synology, too many other things going on and a friend had set it to both do iTunes and synology it worked once when he was here but had to leave, 2 hrs later back at it  my Mac doesn't recognize the CD.  I have no idea what he did.

Hi eargasm, I don't get any album art on my nstream period. Whether I have a folder.jpg or album.jpg or cover.jpg file in the folder or not. So if I get a synology I'd be able to get my album art working?
