Cover art changes and Library Updates

[chazman]

I just purchased and think this software is amazing. Great job. I have 2 easy questions. I have the software set up as a permanent in-wall kiosk jukebox. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard but rarely need it (just in case). The music is on a NAS drive onthe network that the old PC running the jukebox accesses. Here are my questions:

1. I rip using MS Media Player to the NAS drive. Do I need to manually update the library when I add music? he manual seems to indicate it does it automatically when foleders are added but that doesn't seem to be the case. Do I have something turned off?

2. When Media rips it add a couple covers for the CD to the directory. One small and one large. Silverjuke seemd to default to the small one (looks ugly in kiosk mode). I can manually right click and select the large cover and it looks great but can I make it always use the higher resolution image?

Thanks!

Yes. You have to hit eg. the "F5" key. You can also force such an update automatically each Silverjuke startup by adding .

An completely automatic update ("watch folders") is one of the most often asked features and we have added your post to our internal list

Yes. If there is more than one cover in a directory, Silverjuke chooses the "correct" one by some keywords in the cover's filename. These keywords can be modified at "Settings / My music library / Combine tracks to albums / Keywords to identify covers for an album".

Eg. if your covers have the names "cover123-small.jpg" and "cover456-laarge.jpg", adding the keyword "large" here should do the job:
