Embedded album art

zajacattack:
I want to know why embedded album art hasn't been implemented yet. A lot of mp3 players display embedded album art (e.g. iPod, Sansa). I have songs with embedded album art, and I don't know why rockbox hasn't been able to use them. Many original firmwares can.

saratoga:
Rockbox doesn't support cover art, so embedded art is not supported either.

Probably because we're still waiting for you to write the patch that does it.

There's also the fact that standalone embedded art is waiting for the "metadata on bufffer" task to handle (arbitrary) supplemental data.

I assume that once that's ready, there might be some thought given to including embedded art instead of just standalone art.

It's also worth noting that embedded art is (always? usually?) JPG, and the main branch is still BMP only (the JPG viewer code has not yet been formally accepted)

Llorean:
Umm, the jpeg viewer works fine, and has since before there were color players. I don't know what you mean by "the JPG viewer code has not been formally accepted."

There is no jpeg decoding functions in the core, if that's what you meant, but the viewer has been around since the Archos days.

mikeage:
I thought it was still a patch, not part of the distribution. Never mind.
