Title: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: Chris V on June 27, 2007, 01:10:49 am Is it as simple as copying the JPeg file and pasting it under settings, or do you somehow store the album cover in the folders from which you link the library?
Title: Re: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: PeterSt on June 27, 2007, 01:15:55 am Of course you saw this topic : http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=67.0
But specifically, the picture below shows that the folder.jpg is in the folder of the album itself ("Billy Cobham - The Best Of", in this case). There are variations though. See referred to link above. If it's not clear, just ask away. Title: Re: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: JohanZ on June 27, 2007, 01:19:19 am Hi Chris,
Quote ........store the album cover in the folders from which you link the library The last! The albumfolder. You rename the picture to "folder.jpg" Regards, Johan Title: Re: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: Chris V on July 23, 2007, 06:31:20 pm Nearly there with this ;)
I have album tracks stored in a folder together with the album cover stored as folder.jpg. Now, how do I get the picture into XXhighend. I can see under settings that there is a box labelled picture folder containing "folder.jpg" - should I be doing something with this.

This should happen automatically, Windows defaults to hiding known file extentions(.jpg for example). So it already knows that it is a .jpg file, just call your coverart 'folder' without the .jpg (Windows is seeing folder.jpg.jpg). Then when you load up a track from that location you will see the picture too! I hope that's clear.

Nothing happens with or without the .jpg extension :( It's possible this is related to another issue that was left on the back burner, whereby I cant drag and drop files into XXHighend. http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=131.0 Title: Re: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: Jack on July 23, 2007, 07:41:16 pm Chris
What makes you think that you've got a monopoly on all the problems! I don't normally drag & drop, I prefer to use the library button. However I just tried, there is for me a short delay between 'no entry' & acceptance of the track. Is is worth hovering over XX keeping your finger on the mouse button for 2 or 3 seconds & see if the cursor changes before letting go? On the coverart thing, my jpg's average out at about 10kb, yours not too big perhaps?(straw clutching!)

I hovered with music files for over a minute, but still no entry :dntknw:. Regarding file size, I had given this no thought at all, but mine turns out to be a paltry 3.15Kb. Cheers Chris Title: Re: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: Jack on July 23, 2007, 08:23:00 pm Chris
Humour me, does your audio folder look like this...when you open an album, on the right you get a bunch of tracks and a coverart folder, click on it as I have and look at the info right at the bottom next to the picture. It says folder not folder.jpg If you're the same you should be ok!? Otherwise I'll leave you to the maestro! Jack Title: Re: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: Chris V on July 23, 2007, 10:14:09 pm Files look just like yours - my file is called "folder".
If I click on properties it shows it to be a jpeg 124x124 pixels. What is strange is if I double click on it, it says 'file cannot be opened'. This is strange cause the picture shows on the front of the folder. :dntknw: Title: Re: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: Jack on July 23, 2007, 10:28:24 pm Chris
Strange indeed, your OS seems a little over protective! Can you load it into PAINT & if so re-save it as a .jpg called folder? Perhaps it is in a different format that you have simply renamed .jpg?

The only way to get that changed properly is to have you Windows show all extentions (exe, dll, txt, and so forth). Then it is simple to change the file with a proper extension. Or XX should not be so critical to the file name... ;) Computers...once they work okay then I love them but when they don't... Bert Title: Re: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: PeterSt on July 23, 2007, 11:28:05 pm I was just working on a screencopy of this. It's the top choice, in english something like Hide extensions for known file types. It should be UNchecked. Just for your conveniency so you can see how it's acually called. You'll see a possible folder.jpg.jpg too then.
You can try this for your current problem folder to start with. Later, you can do it with the top most folder (and then hope all subfolders inherit the setting; if not, that's another setting somewhere ...). Title: Re: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: Chris V on July 23, 2007, 11:40:12 pm YES :grin: :grin:
Dumped the last picture and captured another one which definitely had the file extension '.jpg'. All is well now. Thanks to you all for you help :good: Title: Re: How do you get album pictures into the XX player Post by: PeterSt on July 23, 2007, 11:58:37 pm Good Chris.
Anyway, I should anticipate on jpeg just the same. I will change that. |
