Default file name for covers?

[drtebi]

The web interface is working great, except for one little issue:
Sometimes the scanner seems to prefer front.jpg instead of my (painstakingly curated) folder.jpg cover images.

Is there a way to set the default file name for which images are used? I noticed something in lms/src/tools/cover/LmsCover.cpp which sort of looks like it is configurable in the lms.conf file... but I may be wrong here.

Thanks ;)

Actually the preference list is hardcoded here:

lms/src/libs/services/cover/impl/CoverService.hpp

Line 132 in b9a57e4

static inline const std::vector<std::string> _preferredFileNames {"cover", "front"}; // TODO parametrize

There is a TODO here to make it configurable, so if you need it I guess it's time to do it

That would be great :)

Hello, sorry to revive such an old discussion, but I found a few cases when a file named "Front.jpg" was not used. The cover ended up being taken from a "Back.jpg" file.
Is the feature case sentitive with regard to filenames in lms.conf?
As a fallback, if the specified files are not present, what is expected to happen? I didn't expect a Back.jpg file to be used as the cover.
Thank you!

I will check about the case sensitive comparison. As I refactored all this in 3.55, maybe it is not working as expected.
If LMS does not find a file in the supplied list, it picks some random image in the directory where the album is.
I have quite a few examples of albums where the file name is the album name, or with a unique ID that comes from I don’t know where. But maybe this is not a good idea.

Well I wouldn't say it's a bad idea to look for some image inside the directory as a fallback. It's probably ok, if it is replaced by the cover.jpg (or front.jpg, folder.jpg) once that file is added, on the subsequent rescan.

My only concern is to understand if a file named "Cover.jpg" is discarded just because of the uppercase letter. This can be probably solved adding "Cover.jpg" to lms.conf, but then what if there is a "COVER.jpg" file, or more exotic combinations, like "Cover.JPG" or (heaven forbid) "CoVer.jpg".

But probably the extension is already treated case insensitively, I never found evidence suggesting me otherwise.

Thank you!
