i found an album that has album art in the music directory but it wasn't in MBDB. is there some way to have picard embed an image (preferably from a discogs url)?

The way I normally do that is download the file and then drag 'n' drop it on the cover art section (with the appropriate release selected in the right hand pane).

oh

lol, you mean i need to learn how to use the gui?

:)

Sometimes that's the only way. 😜

If the image is in the same directory as the music files, you might be able to get it to load automatically by enabling the local cover art provider setting.

^(?:cover|folder|albumart)(.*).(?:jpe?g|png|gif|tiff?)$

no idea what happened, but there's an image there now.

nope, i do...

so i followed the screenshots and on the first set, turning on local files was what it needed. the new image from the server didn't get pushed yet since it's a png locally and the server should be discog's jpeg.

i couldn't use the gui because, i think, i'm using picard x over ssh.

i would need to open picard locally to get gnome to drop the file (i think)

Yeah, I've never tried running Picard that way.

'bout all i do. i've used the docker remote thing when my sever wasn't on the local network.

there are no plans for a server mode for picard.

Sounds like the "local files" thing should do the trick for you.

yep!

thanks

now the question is where does mpd get the images it passes along...

No problem. That was one of the easier things I've had to deal with today. 😄

Sorry, I can't help you there. I've never used mpd.

it turns out that you can do this with mpc: album_art_base64="$(mpc readpicture "$file"| base64)"

and then just display that on a web page.

i assume it comes from an embedded file but as i was going through this, i realized that i don't really have a reason to believe that.
