Any way to display embedded art on Video iPod?

That makes sense.  It would also make sense, however, to create a patch for any given player so that the Rockbox cover art capability would work "natively" with that player.  There are already "player specific" patches for things like the iPod scroll wheel, so I would think that the ability to use the "native" cover art files on a player would be a very welcome and popular addition.

If I knew more about this and had the time, I would investigate doing this myself, but unfortunately this is simply not possible at this time.

Is there someplace that I could suggest or request such a patch?  I see a forum that pertains to "plugins," but I don't see any mention of "patch" discussion in any of the forum descriptions.

Thanks again,

Larry

Feature requests go on the feature request section of the patch tracker.

Discussing of patches should happen primarily on the entry for the patch there, and if you feel you must use the forums, in whichever forum is appropriate based on what the patch is. For example, a patch to create a plugin could be discussed in the Plugins forum.
