Album art cover isn’t cropped right when downloading YouTube audio

[cyxae]

Hello,

I discovered Seal and I would like to use it to download audio from YouTube. The auto tagging feature is really fantastic, however album art cover are not cropped right and have large stripes on the right and left, such as :

(which was downloaded from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddYW119vHP4)

I don’t know if yt-dlp is providing the right album cover, or if it should be cropped manually by Seal, but that feature would be really appreciated to have a squared album cover !

Thank you very much for the app,

cyxae

Hello @cyxae Seal/Yt-dlp isn't cropping the cover this is just how the covers look
like from the source

Also Seal doesn't implement features that yt-dlp doesn't support such as changing the aspect ratio of a thumbnail, but maybe @JunkFood02 have something else to say.
Anyway I hate this too but to fix it i use an auto tagger like AutomaTag which tags every album and track i have if it finds metadata for it

That's also a problem for me and still got no idea achieving it 😂

You can use this as a workaround. I'll consider implementing it as default
