Coverart Files for each Media Folder?

Unread post by hogfan »

In Settings --> General --> Coverart Files, it would be nice to have the ability to specify different coverart files for each media folder you have added. For example, I have 3 Media Folders, Music, Podcasts, TV Shows. For my Music folder, I like to have no coverart set because all of my files are tagged with albumart embedded. However, for the TV Shows folder, I like to be able tell it to look for "poster.jpg" A third example would be a 4th media folder called Movies. For this folder, I'd like to be able to specify the coverart file as [movie title].tbn.

This way it's highly customizable. Being able to specify a file type for coverart is pretty vague. But if you were able to tell it to look for a specific file name (ie. poster.jpg), it is much more useful for media files other than music.

I am sure many others are using a mediaserver at home, and are also using Subsonic/Madsonic for remote access to their media. For example, I am using XBMC. It would be nice to have a bit more control over the coverart in Madsonic to streamline things between all media applications. I upgraded to Madsonic yesterday from Subsonic 4.8 and am loving it. Great work! The access control lists are worth it alone!

It would also be nice to be able to specify a list of folders to exclude from showing up. (ie. in my movies folder I have a folder called "extrafanart". It would be nice to exclude this from showing up in Madsonic.
