xmms2 addicon command

[awhite]

I wanted to display cover art to mp3s playing with XIM Audio over the OSD from a network RAID. I think that there is an addicon command in XMMS2, but I can't figure out how the syntax applies to tracks in the playlist.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hey,
I'm sorry but I can't find any mention of an "addicon" command for XMMS2. I've actually very little knowledge of how cover-art works with XMMS2 also, while I know it does support it, I've no idea how to make it work.

This project looks relevant on the XMMS2 GIT repo:
http://git.xmms.se/?p=xmms2covers.git;a=summary
which I found from this page:
http://wiki.xmms2.xmms.se/wiki/Writing_XMMS2_Clients#Cover_art

I'm guessing that project is capable of finding & attaching cover-art to music in such a way that works well with XMMS2. Pity the project looks a bit old.

thanks for the info.
I've been trying a few things in XMMS2 through CLI.  Guess I was expecting a bit more than what has actually been developed.

Yeah, I don't think it has anything built in to fetch cover art by itself. There's quite a few libraries that do this now, but XMMS2 doesn't use them yet. And really, I'd imagine the only application that would fetch cover-art is one which has a GUI itself! <nudge Neuros>
