Cover art integration

[DavidHenryThoreau]

Really nice script, do you plan to add cover art integration ?

[TheCaptain989]

Thank you.
Can you elaborate? Covert art that Lidarr adds or that is in the FLAC file to begin with is preserved today.

[DavidHenryThoreau]

I mean if cover is present on FLAC yes it's preserved in MP3 but if quality is not good, I mean remove and get new album art from MusicBrainz.

Early versions of the script did deal with cover art (look at closed issues #5, #8, and #13). However, Lidarr itself is supposed to do this, and I don't want to duplicate functionality.

[DavidHenryThoreau]

Is supposed yes but I don't think at the moment that's is possible
I've also opened a ticket which is closed..
Lidarr/Lidarr#4174

[TheCaptain989]

Observationally, I've seen Lidarr add cover art from MusicBrainz. It seems like you're wanting more control with beets specifically (which I'm not familiar with).
...
beets looks like it already has a whole plugin ecosystem of its own, including handling cover art (with fetchart and embedart).
Maybe you're better off writing a simple wrapper script in Lidarr for beets?

[DavidHenryThoreau]

The best way should be front-end interface to add or remove cover art.

[TheCaptain989]

Yeah, Lidarr doesn't lend itself to custom front-ends; I wouldn't even know where to start. That, and I'm no UI developer; the basic stuff I'm made in the past is God-awful and you would hate it. 😳

Sorry, I'm not your guy.

[DavidHenryThoreau]

Yes that's the point, there is not custom from-ends.
Thanks for help !
