Describe the issue

  • If the audiobook file has 2 or more covers/images audiobookshelf consistently does not show a cover after the file is scanned.

  • If the image is a .Png images this also seems to cause issues and the cover image is not shown. Convert or change to jpeg or jpg and that solves the problem.

  • This issue stops the files which only have one cover having their covers scanned properly. But not all of them. If you have a large group of files some “good” files will not have their image displayed after the scan.

  • Modifiying a audiobook file to only having one image, then doing a rescan of that file does not work, only a library scan worked for me.

To correct this problem manually

  1. For each affected file I used mp3tag to remove all covers except the 1. If the image in the file was a .png I converted to jpeg/jpg.

  2. Deleted audiobook from the audiobookshelf database only

  3. Perform a library scan, audiobook will be added as a new book with cover image

Steps to reproduce the issue

perform a library scan to add a new file which has more than jpeg for its cover/image or a file where the cover/image is of the format .png

Log file errors – I do not know if these are relevant or not.

I wasn't able to reproduce this. I used mp3tag to and added a jpg and a png to an audio file. I also tried just adding a single png to an audio file. These were extracted correctly.
I did find one issue that had to do with removing the old cover cache but that is unrelated to yours here.

Can you provide the full ffprobe output for the audio file you are having an issue with?

Then click "Probe Audio File" in the top right of that modal.

@derkington commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2023):

Here are three examples of files that do not work. It seems like I only have half the story in what is going on.
All the files that had given me problems before had more than 1 cover or was .png according the mp3tag, this looks like a red herring. As described removing from DB and library scanning fixed the issue. I did that for all affected files after logging the bug ticket so they have all been modified now.

What interesting is I did a bit more of tidy on the tags of a few files last night but did not remove from the DB, then left the routine scan to run. I found some files that I thought had been fixed, again without the cover images. So something strange is happening.

Here is the output you requested for 3 files that now do not display a cover but have an embeded image.

In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little \"deed\", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself.

@derkington commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2023): Here are three examples of files that do not work. It seems like I only have half the story in what is going on. All the files that had given me problems before had more than 1 cover or was .png according the mp3tag, this looks like a red herring. As described removing from DB and library scanning fixed the issue. I did that for all affected files after logging the bug ticket so they have all been modified now. What interesting is I did a bit more of tidy on the tags of a few files last night but did not remove from the DB, then left the routine scan to run. I found some files that I thought had been fixed, again without the cover images. So something strange is happening. Here is the output you requested for 3 files that now do not display a cover but have an embeded image. **EXAMPLE 1** ```json { "programs": [], "streams": [ { "index": 0, "codec_name": "mp3", "codec_long_name": "MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3)", "codec_type": "audio", "codec_tag_string": "[0][0][0][0]", "codec_tag": "0x0000", "sample_fmt": "fltp", "sample_rate": "11025", "channels": 1, "channel_layout": "mono", "bits_per_sample": 0, "initial_padding": 0, "r_frame_rate": "0/0", "avg_frame_rate": "0/0", "time_base": "1/14112000", "start_pts": 0, "start_time": "0.000000", "duration_ts": 581548506336, "duration": "41209.503000", "bit_rate": "32000", "disposition": { "default": 0, "dub": 0, "original": 0, "comment": 0, "lyrics": 0, "karaoke": 0, "forced": 0, "hearing_impaired": 0, "visual_impaired": 0, "clean_effects": 0, "attached_pic": 0, "timed_thumbnails": 0, "captions": 0, "descriptions": 0, "metadata": 0, "dependent": 0, "still_image": 0 } }, { "index": 1, "codec_name": "mjpeg", "codec_long_name": "Motion JPEG", "profile": "Baseline", "codec_type": "video", "codec_tag_string": "[0][0][0][0]", "codec_tag": "0x0000", "width": 500, "height": 500, "coded_width": 500, "coded_height": 500, "closed_captions": 0, "film_grain": 0, "has_b_frames": 0, "sample_aspect_ratio": "1:1", "display_aspect_ratio": "1:1", "pix_fmt": "yuvj420p", "level": -99, "color_range": "pc", "color_space": "bt470bg", "chroma_location": "center", "refs": 1, "r_frame_rate": "90000/1", "avg_frame_rate": "0/0", "time_base": "1/90000", "duration_ts": 3708855270, "duration": "41209.503000", "bits_per_raw_sample": "8", "disposition": { "default": 0, "dub": 0, "original": 0, "comment": 0, "lyrics": 0, "karaoke": 0, "forced": 0, "hearing_impaired": 0, "visual_impaired": 0, "clean_effects": 0, "attached_pic": 1, "timed_thumbnails": 0, "captions": 0, "descriptions": 0, "metadata": 0, "dependent": 0, "still_image": 0 }, "tags": { "comment": "Cover (front)" } } ], "chapters": [], "format": { "filename": "/Books/Iain M.
