It’s been quite a while that I’m using a MPD server on my raspberry + hifiberry [1<\/a>] to play my digital music on my amps. It works very well, the sound is very good and I can control it with my phone, laptop, tablet etc…\u00a0 That is great.<\/p>\n

What is less great is that MPD does not transmit covers to its clients (there is already an issue on MPD’s github [2<\/a>] to let MPD natively find them).<\/p>\n

What most clients do is asking you to setup a HTTP server above your music folder so that they can request the cover file with a query like:<\/p>\n

GET \/music\/path\/The%20Black%20Keys\/Turn%20Blue\/cover.jpg HTTP\/1.1<\/code><\/p>\n

This has 2 drawbacks:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You need to leave an access to your music folder to the HTTP server. I’m not found of this. Some people worked around this [3<\/a>] but meh…<\/li>\n
  2. I don’t use cover files next to the songs. Whenever I rip a CD, I like to add the cover within the song files, so that it is nicely shown on my smartphone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So I made a very simple python app to deal with this : mpdcoverserver<\/b>. It has two options: a port and a music folder.<\/p>\n

    When the HTTP server receives :<\/p>\n

    GET \/The%20Black%20Keys\/Turn%20Blue\/cover.jpg HTTP\/1.1<\/code><\/p>\n

    it goes to <music folder>\/The Black Keys\/Turn Blue\/<\/code>, takes the first song, extracts the cover from it and serves it.<\/p>\n

    …Very simple…<\/p>\n
