what I was trying to say is how do I get the image of the audio file for displaying the album art . I tried using mopidy.library.getImages but it doesn’t work , it always return empty.
I’m using mopidy.js library.

Which backend extension are you using? Does it definitely support album art already? Not all do (gmusic).

I’m using Mopidy-File backend.

please any help would be much appreciated , how can I get an album art and display it using mopidy.js library. Can mopidy get an album art using mopidy.library.getImages ?

Please don’t post screenshots, post text.

@jjok had the right answer. Mopidy-File does not support get_images:

github.com

mopidy/mopidy/blob/develop/mopidy/file/library.py#L14


from mopidy import backend, exceptions, models
from mopidy.audio import scan, tags
from mopidy.internal import path


logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)




class FileLibraryProvider(backend.LibraryProvider):
    """Library for browsing local files."""


    # TODO: get_images that can pull from metadata and/or .folder.png etc?
    # TODO: handle playlists?


    @property
    def root_directory(self):
        if not self._media_dirs:
            return None
        elif len(self._media_dirs) == 1:
            uri = path.path_to_uri(self._media_dirs[0]["path"])
        else:
            uri = "file:root"

sorry and thank you for letting me know.

You have highlighted a good point thought, it would be helpful if the Mopidy-File documentation made that clearer.

I added a note in the Mopidy-File documentation and an issue at https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy/issues/1895
