I forgot to ask for the layout of your mp3 archive. In my case I have a single directory (/data/mp3) with a couple of mp3 files in it. For the first two subsequent mp3 files I've put a identically named (besides the extension) jpeg file. In a previous test, the mp3 plugin created a mpeg file of the jpeg and cached it. I now have replaced those two mpeg files with the cover.jpg.mpg and cover2.jpg.mpg and the mp3 plugin was now showing the content of your files without any problem. Below you'll find output of VDR on console. Do you also see the StillPicture line? mp3: heartbeat buffer=0 now=1540 mp3: heartbeat buffer=572 now=1541 mad: lost sync 43474154 6e697972 TAGCryin mad: skipping over ID3 tag mp3: eof or error mp3: stopping play mp3: scale stats clipped=0 peak_clip=0.000000 peak=0.985417 norm: stats tot=23334912 lim=9761/0.042% clip=177/0.001% peak=1.253 mgr: next -> 1 mp3: playing next mp3: starting play mgr: playing a-ha - Minor Earth Major Sky.mp3 mp3: found song level=0.332000 peak=1.106800 norm: gain=0.753012 dogain=1 dolimit=0 (target=0.250000 level=0.332000 peak=1.106800) mp3: isStream=0 levelgood=1 haslevel=1 image: checking image for a-ha - Minor Earth Major Sky.mp3 image: check /data/mp3/a-ha - Minor Earth Major Sky.jpg image: found image: loading image /data/mp3/a-ha - Minor Earth Major Sky.jpg image: cached StillPicture: 0x86444d8, 16081 mp3-ctrl: mode change detected mp3: heartbeat buffer=0 now=1543 mp3: write delayed 2540 ms mp3: heartbeat buffer=572 now=1544 mp3: heartbeat buffer=2048 now=1545 Bye. -- Dipl.-Inform.
