No album art displayed about android-vlc-remote HOT 13 OPEN

You might need to enable album art downloads in the VLC settings.

I "think" I have. Its under Interface in the preferences option right?

Yeah, I have mine set to "As soon as track is added".

The VLC implementation is pretty flakey, so it might not work perfectly.  
Sometimes
it grabs the wrong art, sometimes the request hangs, and sometimes it doesn't 
find
anything.  The only time I've seen it work consistently well is with XSPF 
playlists
that specify URL of the art.

Thanks for the response. It did briefly appear, so it makes sense that it is 
not 
working perfectly.

I suggest you make a note of it, because I was playing around with it for a 
while. Its 
not a big deal to me, but, I thought it was something I was doing wrong so I 
was trying 
to fix it.

Thanks for the amazing app!

This is probably a VLC server bug. I cannot reproduce with
http://www.jamendo.com/get2/stream/track/xspf/?album_id=48477&order=numalbum_asc
 on
VLC 1.0.2

I can't get album art for non-XSPF playlists working with 1.0.2.  I think there 
is a
new web interface in the works, so maybe it will provide a working URL to get 
album art.

It looks like this feature has been broken for a while:

That is annoying!

I am on windows 7 now and have generally stopped using VLC for music (using 
mediamonkey) instead.

For movies can the album art show something else? Right now it is a big grey 
ugly box!

Hopefully it will be fixed upstream before too long.  There is another feature 
request to use this area for 
streaming video.  I was thinking of cramming the space with more buttons, but 
it would be nice to put 
something more interesting there...

Issue 70 has been merged into this issue.

This app is terrific!  Jesus would appear himself if the album art actually 
worked as well!
