Cover in radio stations

<< < (2/4) > >>

MadkaT:
Sorry, the file name was a typo in my post, I have tested all the possibilities, but still can't work

This is my test

in the fmpresetsfile is

94900000:Sample 1 radio

I have 94900000.jpg and Sample 1 radio.jpg and two themes that support radio art (grayfog and googley-fuzeplus).

I've tested using letters for the preset names(A B C D E F. etc), and different files formats, jpg, and bmp.

94900000:A
94900001:B
94900002:C
94900003:D

Files:

A.jpg
B.jpg
C.jpg
D.jpg

Sorry about the stupid question but I still can't understand why is not working. Sorry :(

What size is your radio art?
Mine are 96x96 and they work fine, but if they are too big it could be the problem.

MadkaT:
I have tried various sizes

96x96
200x200
350x350 etc.

Also deleted other files and leaving one only with a letter number to the station, with the correct uppercase.

My image is JPG format 96x96 72 pixels per inch. I have scaled the image with GIMP

I also reinstalled my rockbox from the rockbox utility, but nothing happens.

A curious thing is when I use the grayscale theme and tune up the station with the cover, the storage activity turns on, but nothing happens :( in the other stations this won't happen. It probably tries to read the file.

Some ideas of what can I do to solve this? Thanks for the attention.

Julian67:
My experience with radio station cover art has been identical.  It does not work.  I never really cared enough to ask about it or report a bug but as someone else is experiencing the same issue and approaching the point of having a bloodied wall and painful forehead I thought I'd just add my experience:   quite often when it comes to actual_real_life_vs._how_the_manual_says_it_works people do keep quoting the manual despite not having the direct experience to be able to do other than than quote the manual.

Radio Station Cover Art, as described in the manual(s), does not work.  It doesn't work on iRiver H340 or H140 or Sansa Fuze+.  I guess maybe it works on a simulator or maybe it works on certain ancient builds from when the idea was implemented, but it does not work now.

My solution has always been to put the player in my pocket and listen without staring at the non-changing display, but then I am a lazy mf who is grateful when anything works at all.

benshepherd:
I have no direct experience of this, so consider this "just an idea" - but does the actual filesize of the image file have any bearing on the situation? My recollection is that the GIMP saves JPEGs at very high quality (i.e. a big file) by default; it might be worth trying to turn it down a bit and see if that helps.

Also, Julian67, your post really made me smile :)
