Title: RockBox album art support
Post by: awesomunia on February 23, 2021, 10:01:37 PM
I have an iPod mini 1st Gen.
I manage the songs on iTunes, and for convenience, I set the album art as a 640px square in png format.
RockBox doesn't display the artwork.
Does this mean that RockBox doesn't support png-formatted artwork?
Are there any plans for future updates?

From a quick glance at the source, it looks like we only support JPEG and BMP: https://git.rockbox.org/cgit/rockbox.git/tree/apps/recorder/albumart.c#n100

I have also seen the source.
It seems that the code does not allow uppercase cases with extensions.
e.g. cover.BMP
The cover art I have set is
cover.PNG.
I would like to support png and upper cases such as PNG.
Is there any problem with the support of the png format?
