Issue with artworkFolder setting - eseb63 - 02-04-2025 11:09
Hello,
I did some tests with artwork features and encountered this issue :
I created a dedicated artwork subfolder in my content directory :
CD-Collection > Classique > _Artwork
and stored some pictures within.
I initially changed the server options as : indexArtwork=all, artworkFolder=T:\CD-Collection\Classique\_Artwork
After reboot and rescan, i didn't see my pictures shown. Though, i noticed in the log the artwork folder was scanned.
I then changed to indexArtwork=folder : this time, nothing in the log after several reboot/rescan and no pictures shown.
I finally moved the artwork folder to his default place (CD-Collection\indexArtwork) and deleted the artworkFolder setting. After reboot/Rescan, i endly saw my pictures.
I did tests with subfolder by index, pictures for letter index etc ... it worked fine.
I endly moved again the indexArtwork folder at its initial place, with the setting artworkFolder=Classique\indexArtwork.
After reboot/rescan, my pictures disappeared.
So, it sounds like a bug with artworkFolder setting ?

Have you tried
Code:
artworkFolder=Classique\_ArtworkWhilst it doesn't say that the artworkFolder path should be given relative to the content directory, the example in the indexArtwork documentation is.

it's why i gave a relative path for the last try...
and the path this time is T:\CD-Collection\Classique\indexArtwork (i just moved the indexArtwork folder from the root)
so the relative path is : Classique\indexArtwork

- the first try was with an absolute path : it didn't work
- the last try was with a relative path : it didn't work either

That's strange because whilst an absolute path didn't work for me a relative path did.
I'll try 'Classique\_Artwork' later.

I moved the artwork folder in T:\CD-Collection\Classique\_Artwork
with the setting : artworkFolder=Classique\_Artwork
It didn't work : images are not shown.
I join the log : [attachment=3322]

Try using a forward slash
Code:
Classique/_ArtworkI assume it's not interpreting the Windows folder separator and expecting to find a folder called "Classique\_Artwork".

You have found the reason : it works with forward slash.
maybe focus on that point in the documentation, as it's not "normal" for Windows users ?
