Artist images don't show in subsonic players

It's about the feature request here: https://community.asti.ga/discussion/comment/4530#Comment_4530

The bio's have been showing up, which is super awesome. However, I don't think I ever seen any image show up in any of my subsonic apps. Neither Feishin (PC, Linux) or Tempo (mobile, GrapheneOS, Android-based) has ever shown images.

I must have read wrong because at first I thought only bio's where supported so I didn't pay too much attention, but I just noticed images where also supposed to work.

    Thanks for reminding me - I've noticed this. I'll add it as an issue.

    I just looked it up and in both Feishin and Tempo's case I can't see where they use these urls:

    Feishin

    Tempo

    The URL is provided as an accessible URL on the artistInfo/small|medium|largeImageUrl property. Currently we assign according to size, although see below...

    D-Sub (and thus the Astiga Android app) always looks in largeImageUrl. I will look into changing the heuristics for how the images are assigned. I didn't find any guidance about which are preferred under which circumstances by different players.

    This assignment fix has been deployed (this largely effects D-Sub and the Astiga app), but as above I'm not sure if the clients you mention even interrogate these fields.

    Sadly it doesn't seem to change anything for neither of these clients.

    Yeah, as above they don't seem to read the information. You could ask them, I might be missing something in my reading of their code.

    Can I add artist photos, or can it trawl for artist photos? It's grabbing random images from the library as the artist - and also doesn't then sync across to Nautiline.

    Which app are you referring to, the official Astiga one?

    I've noticed that it appears to make a request for both the artist AND the album images, and then sometimes images overwrite others, e.g. the artist displays, then the album image shows. Is that what you are seeing?

    The artist images are populated by previous searches.

    For Nautiline - again it depends what API calls the code is making. If it's not calling for the artist images (as it appears the other clients mentioned in this thread don't) then it won't show them. Could you ask the author?
