heula Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I have a new car with a bigger audio screen and so there is more info on the screen. What I see now is that when is song is playing there is sometimes no art and sometimes artist art. For as far as I know I have never added artist art to my songs but only album art (folder.jpg) I changed some album art settings, cleared the cache and data but it keeps given the artist art instead of album art. Any ideas? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 As that's a modern car head-unit, does it support Android Auto? What shows on the phone's player display, it should be the same image that's sent via Bluetooth? Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heula Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 With Android auto it shows the album art. Why not without android auto? Is also bluetooth. I do not want to connect my phone with a cable to the system every time. Wireless android auto is not an option yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? I don't think PA sends album art via BT when the image is in folder.jpg and not imbedded in the actual file itself. You can test this with a couple of files if you want to try it, but that would be my bet. Perhaps @maxmp can confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heula Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 All album art are also embedded in the songs. I wonder where the artist art comes from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Artist art is auto-downloaded for use in the Artists view, but it should not be sent as a song cover art image. Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your car radio use Gracenote information? This is often built-in. Not sure if it can be disabled though. I know it is in my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee and is very rigid.

heula Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 I think it does according to this site. https://www.gracenote.com/project/ford/ I will see if it can be disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heula Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 I am able to set albumart as mediaplayer or gracenote in my car system settings. I can enable or disable the gracenote database. It makes no difference what I choose. The image stays the same when available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
