Music plugin should look for album artwork

[zp]

We should look for album artwork in the current folder (cover.jpg, folder.jpg...).

If it's not an overkill we could fetch it from the internet.

It searchs for the artowk in the folder now

it searches for cover.png or cover.jpg!!

Download it from internet will slow down the application and I think is not a good option

BadChoice it should also look for folder.jpg/.png/.jpeg

If it doesn't find them then look for any png,jpg,jpeg file in the folder and use that. If there isn't one then use the one we ship with preview.

audio cover added cover/folder png/jpg/jpeg
TODO: If it doesn't find them then look for any png,jpg,jpeg file in the folder and use that

there's no point to go grab on the web a cover because it's the audio player job (exaile etc ...)
where does our main players store their covers?

[BadChoice (guitarboy000)]

Depending on the cover, but most players provide a dbus interface to get the cover path, problem is, player needs to be running.

Anyway, we can download the cover from Internet in a separated thread (so preview time is not affected, and when file downloaded show it)

In my covergloobus app I store the covers in ~/.covers so we can use the same

What if the album art is added as ID3 tag. I am using the latest version r237 and in that the album art is displayed if the image exist in the folder (for example, cover.jpg in my case). But if the album art is tagged into the mp3/flac, the album art is not displayed any more even if the album art image exists in the folder. Following error is displayed in the terminal.
