Request: Load Albumn Art embedded in MP3

Guino

I noticed requests.txt and noticed that adding the capability to read embedded albumn art isn't on the list. I would like know if this is possible and if you are willing to add it to your project. If so that would be great.

Thanks

I chose not to add support for this for performance reasons. But if you REALLY want it, I could put something together but NOT INSIDE RR... I can make a little background "plugin" that could monitor the song played and update a skin image as appropriate.

I would like this feature and i am sure others will aswell. However i don't understand why it will be such a performance issue. Maybe you could explain that.

I am comming from frodoplayer which had that integreated nicly. I understand that this a completly different beast but how much of a performance hit could this be?

The way i would expect it to work would be to only load the album art while the song is playing. Not for browsing. Loading all the album art in a large list out of the mp3's could take a while and could be a performance hit but if it just displayed while the song is playing i don't think it will be so much of a performance thing.

Either way, thank you

Has this plugin been created yet? It's the only thing stopping me from moving from mediaengine to RoadRunner.

Thanks....

Why is it that important to look at a picture while a song is playing???
I have a cover art image for every artist in my library and it displays just fine the way it is. I don't need a different picture for every song. I rather take speed before a picture for every song. You can download a plugin for winamp and clip the area where you want to display the album art without performance hit in RR.
