Browser not available on web only Android and Player only showing low-res images for some albums

JoeH

I'm new to Astiga and have just subscribed but immediately noticed 2 issues.

Issue 1

There is no 'Browser' on the web player like there is on Android, which leads to variations of the same album being mashed together on the web. For example if I have a vinyl recording of an album and a 24-92 FLAC of the same album. Can the 'Browser' option be added to the web player?

Issue 2

I manage my music in MediaMonkey and it shows the hi-res album art stored in every album folder when browsing and listening to music. For some unknown reason Astiga shows hi-res album art for only half and low-res for the rest. Can an option be added to update the art using the images from the album folder?

If either of these issues are likely due to mistakes I'm making please let me know how to resolve them.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Just commenting again to give this a bump in the hope I hear from another user or the dev.

I'm just another user like you.

I currently do not face issues with album art. What I do though is save the same art in two places:

1) embedded within the tag of the file

2) stored as Folder.jpg in the directory containing the audio file.

I store the exact same image. The image size is at least 1000x1000. All artwork exists as large files.

If you have a mix of different sizes, this could potentially lead to your issue.

Really sorry for such a slow response, I'm on holiday and returning on Friday.

The browser is the same as the storage page, e.g. https://play.asti.ga/storage/Dropbox - there should be links under Storage on the left nav.

But the better solution would be to separate these albums. Do you have tags for this purpose?

For the album art issue can you get in touch at info@asti.ga and tell me the name of the album affected and examples of the songs that show high res and those that show low res? Are you talking about the Web player or the app?
