Clear the album art cache

If you've made changes to album art images (added or replaced) the album art cache may need to be refreshed.

MPD album art commands

Make sure the commands albumart and readpicture are supported by your MPD version.

The albumart command loads cover art files from the music directory. The readpicture command loads cover art embedded in music files.

If either is not supported by your MPD it will be indicated in the server details.

HTTP album art server

Alternatively you can setup an album art HTTP server. In that case, remember to turn off SettingsAlbum ArtEnable MPD Album art.

Album art cache details

Check location of album tracks

The path to the album art image (e.g. cover.jpg) is derived from the path of the first track with the album tag.

If the tracks with the same album tag are not all in the same directory then the wrong image may be downloaded.

If there are multiple albums with identical name select the Albums by album artist mode to resolve the ambiguity.
