Album Art not displaying - NAS
rdrivas123 opened this issue · comments
When using music from a local NAS, the album artwork does not display on the RasPi, it only shows the Sonos logo.
The artwork shows correctly in the Sonos IOS app as well as on the desktop PC app.
Ah, it doesn't display at all? I just pushed a commit to the dev branch that adds logging which may help pinpoint this. Can you run a git pull and run again?
I tried to run it with dev, but the app wont start, I end up having to do a fresh install of the entire Pi to get it back to the master version. Whenever I try to use Dev it just wont work at all.
That shouldn't be necessary. It sounds like you're having issues with git. Can you share the output that's preventing you from checking out master?
What exactly doesn't work in the dev branch?
I saw your message on Reddit, I should probably be clear that i am no expert when it comes to Pi or code, so I am surely not doing something right, I have the master running again, the artwork still doesn't show up from the NAS< but does work from Amazon or Sonos Radio.
I can do a screen share if you are feeling like being that helpful so you can see the Pi and possibly make adjustments to the dev code?
The way the config is loaded now seems to be causing problems during upgrades or switching branches. I'm working on a change that may require a one-time extra step during the next upgrade, but should make it more stable moving forward.
If you're still having issues after that I can suggest some other options.
@rdrivas123 can you try to update to the latest dev with the following steps:
- Move the
sonos_settings.pyfile to a backup location, likesonos_settings.py.bak - Run
git pull - If you're still on
master, rungit checkout dev - Copy your backed-up config file to
sonos_settings.py - Add this line to the settings file if it doesn't exist already:
log_file = "~/music-screen-api.log"
- Start up and share the log from
/home/pi/music-screen-api.logwhen you see the album art fail to load.
Tried that and I get an error:
I put that line in the general settings area in the sonos_settings.py file.
File "music-screen-api/go_sonos_highres.py", line 21, in
import sonos_settings
File "/home/pi/music-screen-api/sonos_settings.py", line 7
log_file - +~/music-screen-api.log"
Got it to start, I had some typos in the line, but now all i see is a black screen and no album art from anything
Also, the log file is there but nothing is inside of it.
Anything logged?
Are you sure node-sonos-http-api started properly? Can you connect to http://<IP_OF_PI>:5005 in your browser?
I can connect, still no artwork at all.
Sorry, I'll need some type of output from the script to make any guesses. If there's nothing written to the log file, you can also check ~/.xsession-errors if you've set it to autostart like in the installation instructions. This might tell you if anything is going wrong at boot.
If you're relying on restarts of the Pi to test your changes, try this to make testing a bit easier:
- SSH into the Pi.
- Stop the running script with
pkill python. - Run the script manually with:
DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/python3 /home/pi/music-screen-api/go_sonos_highres.py. The script should output directly to the screen. - Stop the script by pressing Control-C.
- Repeat from step 3 as needed to test more changes.
Did a reboot and now artwork is showing up from the NAS device as expected.
I did get the latest dev as you instructed, not sure if there was a code change to fix it in there.
Good to hear. There were some improvements in dev compared to master.
Is everything working as you expect now? Should we close this?
Yes, working as expected, thanks for the work on this and the overall project!
