Hi, does Rockbox have a limit regarding album art resolution? My iPod G5.5 only shows it for some tracks, sometimes with ridicously long track durations in the progress bar. Any ideas? TIA

[update 01]: RB apparently prefers JPEG until 600 x 600 pixels, ideally not progressive. After updating the cover art to 150 x 150 sizes, the iPod briefly displays the album art for ~10 sec max, followed by skipping to the next song and the same behavior all over again. Not sure if this is happening because the database might still be updating in the background.

[update 02]: issue seems solved: File transfer to the iPod should be done in disk mode of the iPod OS, otherwise songs will be corrupted.

Thanks everyone to contributing with your input!

    In my case RockBox tend to fail to display album art embedded into the metadata, but if I keep a jpg or png named “cover” or “folder” then it works, even at resolutions of 1000x1000

      I will play around with different metadata. I have all album art embedded but only some albums show issues, which is why I suspect the resolution. Will keep you informed.
