[Rhythmbox-devel] Rhythmbox Coverart Plugin Never Finds Images

[John Frankish <j-frankish slb com>]

Hi,

No matter which track is playing (see an example below), the coverart plugin never seems to fetch any cover art.

I don't see an error and I'm logged into last.fm via rhythmbox - I presume I'm missing a dependency or a directory under ~/.something, but what?

BTW, what causes the plugin not to search for local art or embedded art?

Regards
John
