Any way to display embedded art on Video iPod?

I've searched the forums for this, but I'm still unclear as to whether or not anybody has made a patched version of Rockbox that will extract embedded cover art and resize it to fit on a Video iPod.  I've seen patches for resizing and displaying cover art, but they all seem to only utilize a seperate image, and they require at most a 125x125 image (most of mine are 300x300.)  Does any patch utilize the embedded art (which all of my mpgs use) and can they use larger art?  I just don't have the time to extract all the art and store it with the albums, but if there was a way to display my album art (like I can with the native iPod firmware) I'd be very interested in it.

I really know nothing of programming, so this isn't something that I could make myself.

Thanks,

Larry

you also need this patch for that to work of course

I looked at those patches, but neither one seems to indicate that it will work with embedded art as far as I can tell.  Perhaps I'm just missing something -- i.e. maybe I'm looking for the wrong terminology -- but it seems like both those patches look for a file rather than looking in the file for an embedded tag.

Thanks again,

There is currently no way to display embedded album art.

Thanks -- at least now I know to stop searching.

Do you happen to know if this is something that is being looked into by anyone?  I know it's "possible" (since the native apple firmware does it) but I have no idea if it's something that is being worked on.  I personally think it would be a great feature -- to me, it's a rather odd ommission from the otherwise extensive Rockbox features -- but I have absolutely no experience in programming this sort of thing myself, and my time is limited as well.

Thanks again,

Larry
