[streaming] submit artwork while http streaming

[René Kohli]

Hello

 

I wonder what sources and means vlc use for downloading artwork while
playing mp3s, flacs and so on. I run ‘Sockso’ streaming server and have
watched, when vlc receives the http stream artworks stored in id3 tags are
displayed. So I suggest Sockso sets up a download repository for artwork
contained in id3 tags and vlc this to get the covers form http stream, but
not im not sure. Maybe, someone is here, who can make things clear.

 

On the other hand, when using vlc directly as streaming server or to
transode any audio files like this way

 

vlc foobar.flac  --extraintf http --http-host 10.22.0.1 --http-port 8080
--http-password music --sout=#http{mux=ogg,dst=10.22.0.1:8080/flac}
--sout-keep

 

vlc foobar.flac --extraintf http --http-host 10.22.0.1 --http-port 8080
--http-password music 

--sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=320,channels=2,samplerate=44100}
:http{mux=ts,dst=10.22.0.1:8080/mp3} --sout-keep

 

covers are never shown in the receiving client, why not?
