best practice to ensure that ONLY embedded art is used for album covers/thumbnails? - Busta Uppa - 2025-01-17
I've maintained embedded cover art for all my music files, so I don't want Kodi to display any scraped covers (I still want to use scraped images for things like fanart/ discart / artist logos / etc though).
Per the album art documentation here, local art files are prioritized over embedded art. Since I often see different cover art displayed in library views and the OSD, there must be local artwork somewhere that is overriding my embedded art.
I don't see album art files in my actual music media folders, so I'm guessing these are cached somewhere? Where should I look to try and purge all existing album art?
What I assume I'll need to do is:
- locate and remove all traces of existing album art files seen by Kodi
- ensure I have the correct settings regarding online info/scraping so that no cover art is downloaded in the future.
Any helpful info on those two steps (or general best practices to keep my embedded art showing as-is) will be appreciated!
