Other pictures, not type=03

Post by Roopid » Sat Mar 24, 2018 8:08 pm

Love Neutron, my favourite player! It handles 11,000 .flacs very nicely, but one thing:

I am using "prefer metadata" and I have all the songs in .FLAC, in folders on ExtSDcard/artist-name/album/01-trackname.flac

and mostly it works fine. There are a few exceptions:-

1) If there are several picture blocks in the file, I can't swipe between them.
2) If there is a picture metablock with a different picture type (so block type = 6 as usual, but picture type 17 for example, instead of 3) it skips the other types until it finds a type=3.

The .flac standards allow 0 or 1 picture blocks with a type 1 or type 2 picture and 0 to many pictures of other types. Types 1 and 2are icons (32x32 PNG and 'other'), 3 is front cover, 4 is back cover, 5 is leaflet, 16 is a movie screenshot, 17 "A bright coloured fish" ( :-) ) and so on up to 20.

Is there any way Neutron could allow me to swipe between all valid pictures, and maybe specify a preference for one type (03 by default, I guess), then let me display the other pics by swiping up and down?

Specs at https://xiph.org/flac/format.html#metad ... ck_picture and these types (even type 17) are supported by the command metaflac under Linux, for example. I have a few files with a few of types 1-16 and even 2 files with a type 17 :-)

Many thanks if you can help.

It is possible to iterate images of the metadata, in Playing Now screen, on Album Art area, on the right side you will notice transparent arrows - Up, Down (near corners of the image). By pressing them you can iterate images.

It is not possible to choose preference though, Neutron will always favor Front, which is - 3 - Cover (front).
