Not all albums show as picture

[LordAsperheim]

Hi there! i've set up snip and it's workking as it should, with no problems. The only thing i see, is that some songs doesen't show the album photo, and only the text. is there any explenation, is it a known issue, or is it just something i'm doing wrong?

I am having the same issue. The prolem is, sometimes the text updates, yet there is no image. It happens very rarely, like every 30 minutes of 4 minute songs. You can skip the song and go back to it to display properly, still, it shouldn't happen in the first place.

At some point, this happened... Makes me scratch my head. Something must have happened to the image buffer.

@LordAsperheim Please provide a link to the songs that this is doing it for you on. I can't even begin to look into this unless I can duplicate it.

@Brilliafy This may not be Snip at all but whatever you are using to display the image. If you happen to stumble upon an image like this where it's cut off/showing green, navigate to the Snip directory and open the image directly. If it appears fine there then it's not a problem with Snip. It may just be that whatever is displaying that image started to load it before it finished downloading.

I had some more thoughts on this as well.

If you set Snip to keep album artwork it downloads it to the AlbumArtwork directory first and then copies that file to Snip_Artwork.jpg

However, if you do not have it set to keep album artwork it downloads/saves the file directly to Snip_Artwork.jpg.

I'd have to read on how DownloadFileAsync works. I don't know if it downloads to memory first and then saves the completed image afterwards, or if it directly writes to that file.

If it writes directly to that file it could be a situation where whatever you're using to display the image is loading it before Snip can fully download the image. This could be the case in potentially slow internet connections.

So my issue is, when i stream using spotify and OBS. The album NEVER shows up anymore. Hasnt for a long while. Not sure why. The name and track appear no issues but i do not ever get an album cover. When it was working, the album would show instantly with zero issues. This picture shows a scene of just snip running with music going through spotify

I don’t provide any support for OBS or its ability to show the image.

When it’s not showing the artwork does Snip_Artwork.jpg display correctly if you just open the jpg file directly? Not through OBS but with whatever default photo viewer you use.

Also what’s the file size of the jpeg when it’s not displaying anything in OBS?

So with my luck and happiness. I sent the issue, and it somehow resolved itself. Not sure how or what. But it is showing now.
