wimpy Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I'm running Linux Mint release 9 amd64. When playing a music cd or mp3 file in Rhythmbox, the cover art is never downloaded. The little icon just keeps spinning where the art should be displayed. It seems to me that it used to work in earlier versions of Mint. Anyone else experiencing this? I wonder if it is Thailand related. I have perused the support forums, and haven't found others with this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpy Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Jeeze, not a single reply? Can't at least one of you rhythmbox users tell me if you are getting the same behaviour? :jap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joncl Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 (edited) today for the first time on Ubuntu as it looks like the local ISP's DNS died so changed to the google DNS 8.8.8.8 and it was all back to normal. Edited July 7, 2010 by joncl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the reply. I am using Google DNS too. No cover art though. Thought it might have something to do with my router, so I tried using my mobile connection. Same result. Rats. If I use Decibel Audio Player, it shows cover art fine. Edited July 7, 2010 by wimpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgy88 Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Are you sure you have it activated? I have it turned off in mine as I don't want it. You can click to activate it under edit>plugins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the plug-in is not selected, the album widow is not visible. I see the window and a spinning icon. I tried turning it off, and then back on. I have four computers, and they all are acting the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpy Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Interesting, I just noticed that even with the plug-in selected, the "configure" button is greyed out and not selectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpy Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Solved, finally. Someone on another forum was able to help me out. You must be registered with, and logged on to Last.fm for the album art to display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
