Album art wrong

Posted by: Shane526 on 05 November 2017

I use my Uniti Star to rip cds, sometimes the album art is wrong so I edit the metadata and update the album art to the correct one, now, here comes the issue. The new and correct album art shows on the naim app on my iPad but the old, incorrect album art still shows on the screen of the Uniti star... why and how do I resolve this issue please?

I saw the same happening with my Uniti Core and Atom ... I assume it will be fixed in a future update ...

Shane use the App to provide feedback to Naim about the issue, if they are unaware, there will be no fix.

There is probably a way to refresh the image cache in the Star, but not having one, I can't look for it.....

You can refresh the app data but not the star... the app data is showing correctly so it’s back up to Naim for a firmware fix I guess...

Already done that but was curious to see if anyone had experienced this and/or knew of a solution...

There are some funnies like this with the NDS too. When ripping, if the wrong album art is downloaded I edit it in n-serve. In some, but not all, cases I can then see the correct album art when looking at the artist page on n-stream, but when it's selected to play the original (incorrect) artwork is displayed. I've tried all sorts of different approaches to fix this, but hey ho, life's too short to worry about it.

That's likely to be...

1  Looking at the artist page it's getting the image from a file in the folder.

2  When playing the track it's using the artwork image embedded in the metadata of the track.

That's very interesting and perhaps also explains how Naim missed the problem during their development work and beta testing, because they probably do most of it with files ripped using one of their servers, which would probably avoid the two image files issue Huge mentions.

I've changed from using UPnP to serve music to my NDS, and now have a direct optical connection between my HDX, where the music's stored, and the NDS.

This means that I now use nServe to play music on the NDS, and only need nStream to adjust the volume remotely.

The issue you describe seems to have resolved itself, using nServe.

This may help.

I have also found that the Naim app can, on occasion, sometimes see correct artwork when NServe still shows the incorrect image. 

This may not help.
