Hi Paddy,
If you can use Wireshark to capture the network activity while using WMP that will help us to see what the difference is between what they send and what we send. Unfortunately Wireshark is a bit advanced but since I don't have an Onkyo AVR I don't know what else to suggest. If you post the Wireshark capture from WMP I'll download and have a look at it.

@paddy, try converting your album art to 640x480. Add a property to renderer conf:

Code: Select all

ThumbnailSize=640x480

I'm currently working on rewriting some of the thumbnail/cover art code in this branch. But, even with these changes my Onkyo doesn't show cover art. It would be interesting to know exactly what needs to happen to make Onkyos display cover art.

Perhaps an Onkyo programmer can help you.

I have an Onkyo so I know. I haven't been able to figure out what it takes to make it work. Onkyo has some undocumented, non DLNA requirements. If you can give me any information about what is needed for the Onkyo to support it, please provide it.

I actually fixed it: https://github.com/UniversalMediaServer ... a7db01abd0

I'd just like to say: Bad Onkyo, really bad Onkyo. That's not how you parse XML :x

In any case, it turns out that all that was wrong was the order of the attributes in the upnp:albumArtURI tag. After comparing the wireshare capture between WMP and the Onkyo with that between UMS and the Onkyo without being able to see any difference, I copied the album art line from one log into the other and lined them up to compare them character by character. The only difference I could find was the order of the attributes, and when I switched them and started UMS it finally works :D

So Paddy, in the next release of UMS you'll finally get your album art - and not just for MP3 and FLAC, but for any audio file.
