Hello,

I recently started using BubbleUPnP on Android and I am very impressed with the app. However, I am experiencing a small issue related to album cover art display.

Problem description:

  • Album cover art is not displayed correctly in the album overview.

  • Cover art is displayed correctly for individual tracks and within playlists.

  • In the album overview, only the default thumbnail is shown.

  • When I tap on an album in the overview, and then on the placeholder in the top left corner, the correct cover image is displayed, so the app seems to have access to the correct image data.

What I have tried so far:

  • Tested with different servers (I would prefer to use a UPnP/DLNA server).

  • Tried different cover file names such as folder.jpg, Folder.jpg, cover.jpg, etc.

Additional observations:
  • In desktop applications (VLC Player, Windows Media Player, Windows Explorer), the cover image of a track is correctly used as the album cover.

  • There are many similar support threads online, but most of them focus on server-side issues (e.g. folder.jpg handling).

  • Since the correct image appears once I open the album, I wanted to investigate whether this could be a client-side issue first.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions on what might be causing this behavior or how it can be resolved?

Thank you very much for your help.

What UPnP servers have you tested? I use the licensed version of MinimServer - though the free version will likely suffice for most users - which is excellent and enables track, disc and album artwork: https://minimserver.com/ug-library.html#Artwork.

The only caveat is that it doesn't handle multiple album artists; if that's a requirement then you might be best looking at AssetUPnP.

- What media server is hosting your music ?
- in BubbleUPnP, in a folder that lists albums as folders, are there thumbnails (not placeholders) displayed for these albums (left of the album title) ?
