Wrong Cover Pics in USB Database WiiM Ultra Amp

[Aquaman]

Are you saying that albums with the same name (different AlbumArtist) aren't merged in the Album index when browsing the WiiM server through mconnect? That's not the case with MiniDLNA so implies WiiM have implemented a fix to the device server (as opposed to the WHA).

THAT I will have to check. Give me a minute please.

@simbun
You are right. Tracks with the same album tag are merged by the WiiM even if they have different album artists. BUT the individually embedded covers are still showing correctly.

@multiball
Is it only in the album list that you are seeing the wrong covers or does this also apply to the playback screen when you play a track?
If it’s only in the album list I would agree with simbun that albums are being merged based on their tagging.
In this case you should also be missing some album artists according to my test. The tracks will still be in the merged album but they will all be listed under one album artis only.

That's why I have to assume there are some without.

I don't know how the OP checked, but in Mp3tag you can apply a filter.

He wrote that he had checked all his files. See below.

What I do not understand, with the program MP3Tag on Windows, all images are displayed absolutely correctly for each individual title. I have looked through it completely "all 8200 titles" where the error should be. Could it be the IOS app with the iPad?

I did see that, but as far as I know the only way a track can inherit artwork is if it doesn't contain embedded - or if it's corrupt/not tagged as front.

I'd love to get hold of the SSD and an indexing WiiM.

Files.db might offer some insight.

Haha, that‘s what I thought. I‘d love to have a look into his library.

I‘m eager to see the answer to this.

His first post implied that track images were wrong too (list being Queue?).

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.

I suppose you could try (if we assume that not all tracks contain embedded):

• Create 2 albums with the same name (different album artists) e.g. Greatest Hits
• Each with a few tracks (not the first) missing embedded artwork
• No external artwork, or a third with folder.jpg

In mconnect that's gonna look a mess in the Album index, and I'm pretty sure the Artist index too, but no idea about the WHA.
