Sonixd broken images

in Other apps

About half the cover art in my collection spontaneously stopped appearing in Sonixd. It has been replaced with a broken image icon and the text "img"next to it. Anyone know why this might happen?

    In your library, can you give me an example of which albums aren't showing the art? You can email info@asti.ga if you like.

    I don't mind doing it here if it ends up helping someone else later...


    Some examples of broken images:

    Coil - The Ape of Naples

    Bullion - Affection

    James Rushford - Turzets


    Some examples of images that DO work:

    Joe Henderson - Power to the People

    CTI - Elemental 7

    Richard Teitelbaum - Asparagus

    Hi - these are showing the same behaviour in the web app - I don't think it's anything to do with Sonixd.

    The artwork hasn't been recorded in the database during synchronisation. We support embedded images or co-located (in the same folder) image files with the name (before image extension):

    • cover
    • folder

    Or name containing:

    • back
    • rear
    • albumartsmall
    • albumart_

    Does you library contain art like that?

    Hmm. I'm going to be honest, I can't tell you. I gather my music from various sources like Bandcamp and Bittorrent and don't pay much heed to the artwork.

    The odd thing about all this is that it only just started happening. These same albums simply showed with no artwork up until a couple of weeks ago. I guess my question is, what could have changed?

    I'm not sure if I understand now...

    Are you saying they didn't show artwork, then they did for a while, now they don't again?

    Currently, the only way to show artwork is to provide it by the means above.

    In Sonixd, if an album has no artwork, it shows a generic musical note graphic. These albums previously showed the musical note graphic, now they show the broken img icon. Just one day hundreds of records went from showing nothing to showing this error message. More irritating than anything else.

    Ah, ok. I'll double check that.

    Using Sonixd 0.15.5 on Linux I'm seeing the placeholders:

    I realise that app is in maintenance mode, but might we be able to find out what would cause a 'broken' image rather than the placeholder? That would be better addressed to the Sonixd programmers.

    Maybe it's the placeholder that isn't being loaded?
