It seems that a clear/rebuild database is the only thing that connects the Album Art to the WebUI and the Controller UI. I thought I read that deleting the SC cache (/var/lib/squeezecenter/cache) forces a rebuild? A cache purge on the browser doesn't work. I tried a machine that never loaded the SC WebUI and the cover.jpg is missing after successfully adding it with the plugin from another machine. This is the image resource string in the SC WebUI for the large version of the Album Art: http://hostname:9000/music//cover.jpg I would imagine the piece that goes between music/ and /cover.jpg comes from the database? I am not familiar with the control loop on feeding the WebUI or the controller UI but would it make sense for the plugin to feed SC with the proper resource info after the Album Art is successfully saved. Perhaps this is being done already? Also, I thought base SC functionality was for a cover.jpg, folder.jpg, etc... to be automatically processed in presenting the UI's? Overall I think the Album Art plugin as designed is perfectly suitable for the task of gathering Album Art. I like that the process of adding album art is combined with listening. I have almost a 1000 albums. About 50% have the correct artwork. The thought of completing the rest is a daunting task. Doing it in small bits at a time is great. Assigning album art is most certainly a meat computer (human in the loop) activity since there seems to be no conclusive method for an automatic selection of the correct artwork. Of course there is nothing like doing this task correctly when the compressed files are created. My rip/compress process has evolved over time, along with the various tools that I used. Now I just use iTunes to embed the Artwork into the files themselves as I create the files. That seems to work fine. Back to the plugin ... Me thinks a slightly different search strategy might be useful. Search for Artist first and then a search with in the result for title. Thanks BPA for your efforts. It has certainly made my use of SC much more enjoyable! Cheers
