I have found the MinimServer logs extremely usefull to identify subtle problems in my music library.

It remains to be seen if all this is a serious Android limitation or not.

Simon reported that Kinsky worked for him, but the platform he used it on is not specified. I could verify this was the case for the following: Kinsky, UPnPlay, MediaHouse. Other android control points relying on the OS jpg layer should exhibit the problem too. Bubbleguuum kindly looked into that, and saw that the offending artwork uses an uncommon CMYK color model, which is not supported under Android (only the ubiquitous RGB color model supported there). The problem is tied to the format of the jpg file itself. It turned out that image size has nothing to do here, nor is BubbleUPnP control point the culprit (in fact BubbleUPnP has NO difficulty handling huge artwork sizes like 1400x1400, as I tested myself). This is on the list of possible enhancements to be supported in a future release.

I tested with two different apps on the phone, to send files to AVR, and two programs on PC, and cover image displayed on TV and in HEOS app in high quality. MinimServer doesn't currently have the capability to downsize album art. Same low quality cover with just folder.jpg in the album folder, and files without image inside. I tried doing this in Asset UPnP, and all the images were then displayed by BubbleUPnP. With Asset UPnP, Kinsky displays all the artwork and BubbleUPnP displays only the 500x500 artwork.įrom these tests, it seems that BubbleUPnP is unable to display a 709x701 artwork image.Īs you are getting the 709x701 artwork displayed with Asset UPnP and BubbleUPnP, you might have set 'Size album art' in Asset UPnP to reduce the size of artwork that Asset UPnP sends to BubbleUPnP. With MinimServer, Kinsky displays all the artwork and BubbleUPnP displays only the 500x500 artwork. I've tried all these files with both MinimServer and Asset UPnP, using BubbleUPnP and Kinsky as control points.

I will send you a PM with details of how to access my FTP server. Is the artwork embedded as part of the track file? If so, the best approach would be for you to upload the track file with embedded artwork to my FTP server, and I will investigate what's causing this. There is no limit to the size of artwork that MinimServer can handle. I tried to attach the 709x701 jpg file, but with no success because the file size is too big (713 K). If Album view had text columns for Artist, Album Title, Year etc - which user can scroll or sort I would feel differently. Utter preciousness is my private thought.

A total distraction away from music at worst. I took care of flushing the BubbleUPnP thumbnails cache before each try.Ĭould this be caused by some limitation imposed by MinimServer on the size (709x701 in my case) of the artwork embedded in tracks, or by a somehow corrupted jpg file ? MinimServer logs do not show any error related to this. Often wrong or misleading (as metadata) at best. If I retag the tracks with an equivalent but differently sized 500x500 jpg file, artwork is now correctly shown with MinimServer. When switching to other music servers like AssetUPnp or MediaMonkey, artwork for this album is correctly displayed. I noticed that, for the tracks of an album downloaded from Channel Classics and with tracks tagged with a 709x701 jpg file, the artwork is not displayed when using MinimServer as the music server and BubbleUPnP as the control point. There is one open issue: when directly controlling MPD via MPaD (iOS), I can open the booklet of the currently playing album on an iPad (MPad relies on an HTTP server for displaying cover art and booklets, I have an HTTP server running on the same machine that runs Minimserver, MPD and upmpdcli). If anyone wants details, I'd be happy to type it out at some point. (11-01-2016 05:07) krutsch Wrote: (10-01-2016 17:57) nbpf Wrote. I think this is an interesting product and I like much about it. At least to do what I needed it to do.Īll that being said, yes, I got it to work (it took another restart and sync and it finally fully synced). BTW, the answer is no, you do not need the paid version.

And as a business taking money for a product, someone in your business should know if more money needs spent to make your product work. I feel this could use a lot of work.ģ) As the developer recommending (requiring?) the end user to use MinimServer, this is a question you should know the answer to. That is what I thought, but in the confusion, and you mentioning Femto in your first answer, I needed that clarification.Ģ) You are greatly overestimating the guidance the end user is getting.
