Help showing album artwork on control page

My search foo is failing me today...

I know people are putting Sonos album artwork on control pages, I see samples of it. But I can't seem to find the instructions on how to do so.

Help!

Re: Help showing album artwork on control page

FWIW, the plugin appears to be trying to get the artwork:

Code: Select all
  Sonos Debug                     Processing Cover Art: Sonos Connect - Media-Room:http://mediaserver-cont-ch1-1-v4v6.pandora.com/images/public/amz/5/0/1/1/800061105_500W_500H.jpg


But it's not putting it anywhere. I thought it was because I didn't have a ../Indigo6/images/Sonos folder, so I created it. Still nothing.

Oh, for Pete's sake. The images/Sonos folder isn't in ../Indigo 6/.., it's in the parent folder.

So how do I get that image to show up on a control page? Do I need a script to copy it somewhere? It's outside the webserver root, so that's not going to work. Hmm...

Ah. A file:// URI does it.

Yes. I use a Refreshing Image URL pointing to variations of:
Code: Select all
file:///Library/Application%20Support/Perceptive%20Automation/images/Sonos/kitchen_art.jpg

Re: Help showing album artwork on control page

Going crazy trying to get this to work :oops: .

Have it set up as a refreshing URL with the following path:

file:///disk1/Library/Application%20Support/Perceptive%20Automation/images/Sonos/Majas Rom_art.jpg

witch is where the album art is stored. Getting a big fat question mark on my control page. Anyone see where I am going wrong?

(I hav tried different variations of this URL as well with no luck. Sure I´m missing something, but hav been at this for 2 days now, so time to reach out)

Re: Help showing album artwork on control page

Looks like you have a space in the file name. Spaces should be encoded as %20. Also, disk1 shouldn't be necessary unless you've somehow managed to get Indigo installed on a disk that isn't the boot disk (which shouldn't be possible).

I suspect this would work:

Code: Select all
file:///Library/Application%20Support/Perceptive%20Automation/images/Sonos/Majas%20Rom_art.jpg
