GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 676070
Cover Art plugin fails to display art correctly in several locations

Created attachment 214057 [details] An example of the bug. The album art displays fine in the grid, but fails elsewhere. The cover art plugin successfully downloads album art, which gets displayed correctly in the following locations: 1. album grid 2. via gnome shell media player indicator extension However, the art fails to show in 1. the lower-left image (the one toggled with View->Show Cover Art) 2. the top bar, to the left of the title, band, and album 3. the status icon tooltip I'm not sure if this is a bug with the Cover Art plugin itself or with how the core player interacts with it. Tested on openSUSE 12.1 with Banshee installed from the GNOME:Apps repository.
Thank you for your bug report. Maybe Banshee has trouble resizing some images. Does this happen for all your cover art, or only for specific albums ? Could you run Banshee in debug mode (with "banshee --debug"), play a track that has this problem, and attach the whole output here ?
Hm, I had to re-install my system for other reasons and now can't seem to reproduce it. I removed the folder ~/.config/banshee-1 and refreshed the library, so perhaps that fixed it. I'll get a debug log and report it here if the issue comes up again.
I am experiencing this issue and it seems to be so erratic. As noted in the first comment, I can always see cover art in the grid, but rarely in the lower left pane for the currently playing song or in the full screen view. I have tried disabling extensions, rescanning music etc with little success. Tried deleting the ~/.cache/media-art/ directory and that hasn't helped in any permanant way either. Once rescanned, the artwork displays in the grid but not elsewhere. Just for some weird unexplainable reasons, sometimes banshee will start displaying the cover art for a while, or for just one song and then give up. I set up banshee on a headless system for a buddy, and it does the same. I soooo wish that this was more reliable. I have also started banshee with --debug, and didn't see anything unusual. I will attach an output in a few hours. FYI: Just updated to Fedora 17 hoping to see some improvement but no change.
I just ran into this issue again (Banshee 2.4.0) and found that it's a problem with the Lyrics extension. Disabling that extensions and restarting Banshee appears to have fixed the issue.
I can confirm as well, running Banshee 2.4.0 on Fedora 17, that as Damien found, when I disabled the lyrics extension, presto the problem went away. This is some issue then related to lyrics. I don't know how lyrics could affect cover art, but as they say "A picture is worth a thousand words".
