Wrong Cover Pics in USB Database WiiM Ultra Amp

[multiball]

Hi everyone
I have a problem with the media library of my CDs. It is a 512Gb SSD with around 8200 titles. The problem is that when I scan the SSD, I have wrong cover pictures of about 10 CDs every time after scan the USB Library. Then check it with mp3Tag program, everything is fine. I noticed that when I play a CD and then go to the list of the CD, you see wrong little images in the list of some titles. Why could this be, is the collection too large, can the WiiM Ultra Amp not handle it, or is there a special procedure for the folder structure? Has anyone else observed this problem?
Regards Frank

I hate dealing with stuff like this but let's try anyway. Could it be you happen to have both, embedded cover art and a folder.jpg or cover.jpg file in the same folder as said CDs?

Or perhaps front and back covers embedded?
Your‘re not using iTunes by any chance? I suspect not as you would most probably not use MP3Tag if you did.

That can be, of course. The in the folders still individual jpg. Files are located. Will check it out in a minute.
No I don't use itunes but mp3Tag. There is always only one cover image embedded.
Thanks

Too bad that didn't work, I deleted all jpg pics in the folders, the problem persists.

I‘m not sure if there‘s a size (pixels) or file size limit with WiiMs.
Do the files with the missing/wrong covers have exceptionally large covers?

MiniDLNA is the open source media server upon which WiiM is based:

• Track level artwork (Now Playing screen and Queue): Uses embedded (type 3 - Front) where available, falling back to external
• Album level artwork (Album index and Album view): Uses the embedded artwork from the first track of the album if available, falling back to external

Do you recognise the incorrect artwork, as it shouldn't pull from unrelated (different folder/album tag) tracks?

Bummer.

If you want to make absolutely sure that the WiiM scanning and indexing starts from scratch, eject the USB drive, connect it to your computer, delete the folder named "wiim_cache", delete the WiiM Home App cache (if you're on Android) and reinsert the USB drive.

Good luck.

The app I use runs on iPad Pro, I can't find a cache here. Of course, I have already tried this option with deleting the WiiM Cache folder on the Windows PC, without success. Newly indexed, again some covers wrong. When I use after complete scan the fast scan option , than some other CDs are show wrong cover, and those that were displayed incorrectly before will then be displayed correctly

Try browsing the media server using the iOS app mconnect, as this will help narrow down the problem (index on Amp or WiiM Home App).
Do the affected albums have unique names (album tags)?

Don‘t you have a PC? You should really delete everything on the SSD except your library. That won‘t work with an iPad.
