Is cover art supported by the MPD component? It’s not displaying for me, but I wasn’t sure whether this is because it’s simply not supported, or if I need to play around with the configuration.
Im having the same issue running 0.70.0 in a docker container with Mopidy running in another container. Cant figure out why im not able to see album art in hass regardless of what the source in mopidy is. Any luck so far figuring it out?
Unfortunately not no
Hi, MPD recently implemented support for cover art, I’m looking at implementing support for this in home assistant, a wel as library browsing.
Good I looked for this first. Would be great to see Cover art from MPD in HA.
Thanks for looking into this, John
Hi John, after a few evenings of hacking, I have a working proof of concept, but I need to polish it a fair bit for it to be included in python-mpd2 (pass the unittests), and potentially even need to move the MPD integration to the asyncio interface.
Looks great, thanks for the integration and I’m looking forward to the release.
Greetings, John
Due to lack of free time to work on this, it’s sitting on the shelf unfortunately, sorry for that.
I’ve submitted something working here.
PTAL.
Unfortunately I don’t think mopidy supports the albumart
and fetchpicture
commands.
Two pull requests merged. The mpd media_player entitiy is now fully async and supports cover art starting Home-Assistant 2021.1.
Is there a way to DISABLE albumart in mpd?
HA mpd integration plays a sound file in local media but it also tries to get cover.* files from the same location without any authentication key. This causes “401 Unauthorized” errors.
thanks
Just realized my post is 2 yrs too late…
Anyways, I am using VLC_TELNET to play sound on my Raspberry Pi 3b so as to workaround the error of mpd not getting the album art and in turn causing the IP to be blocked (I have IP ban enabled).
