The first changes of music were between musics that already had a cover.
Then I start to change to some musics that dont have, and that error appears, making CoverGloobus to get stuck in the last music that had cover.

found the bug :)

/usr/share/covergloobus/coversearch.py
line 109:
____________________________________________________
pattern = '^(folder|cover|front|album|albumart\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$'
____________________________________________________

next to albumart there is a ) missing so it should be:

pattern = '^(folder|cover|front|album|albumart)\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$'

now it works gr8!

many thanks!

best regards

I was observing CoverGloobus output, and I saw this in continuous loop:

[WARNING] MPD: track not found in current track

CoverGloobus doesnt stop printing this, when it doesn't found the cover I guess.. shouldn't it just like try to find it, and if it couldn't just skip it?! If for example the music is paused it will continue to print this to eternity...

regards

ah, bad pattern, thanks for your help
-------------------
"track not found in current track" message means that there is no track-number tag in the file you are listening
I just have to rewrite MPD plugin a little bit, to print this message only once when song actually changes

tks! you can mark it solved then!

keep the good work!

best regards!
