No artwork in miniplayer

[mickael]

Hi,

 

I can't get the minipalyer to display my artwork

 

 

I clicked multiple times on "Reset Artwork", but doesn't seems to help.

 

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Version infos:

By looking further, it looks like :

- I have tons of songs in my miniplayer that doesn't play at all

- I have some artworks working

 

But the two things are not correlated. I have some music entries that plays correctly without artwork.

Did you try Reset Artwork on that screen that you copied?

I guess there is something wrong with the "reset buttons".

 

If there is a special folder fort artworks and music library cache, maybe I have to clean it manually.

If someone knows the paths.

Apologies for missing what you stated in your original post: too much concentration on the screen shots, sorry!

First on the topic of songs not playing, there's a compatibility improvement for Music.app coming in 5.0.3 (not yet in pre-release) which should allow those tracks to play. 

 

However, on the artwork issue, could you see if there's some correlation between the type of tracks and not showing artwork? By that I mean, do you find that the tracks missing artwork are:

- Local non-Music.app subscription tracks (e.g. owned files you manually imported)

- Music.app albums you've downloaded

- Non-downloaded (streaming if you want to listen to them) Music albums?

 

It may help establish why they have no artwork.

No pb, thanks for trying to help

[mickael]

I think the miniplayer or music app has indexed old local files that didn't exist anymore.

 

For example:

 

and in apple music

 

 

and for existing artwork miniplayer the album is indeed in my library

Does “Reset Music Library” not work either? What about opening the Mini Music Player and pressing ⌘R?

[mickael]

I did it multiple times without success

[mickael]

Mmm, I just discovered that this is not simple as I expected.

 

For example, I added that playlist in my library

 

 

it is displayed in the mini player, but without any artwork 

 

 

and it doesn't play or show the titles associated

Does the 5.0.3 (2074) pre-release fix this for you? You can access it under Alfred Preferences → Update and changing the dropdown.

Thanks for the update !

 

So, it looks like that the unplayable songs have gone. Good point !

 

However, I still don't have artworks on most of songs.
