I realized this same problem was happening on my other desktop computer, and I finally figured it out: the deb linked from the gmusicbrowser website, gmusicbrowser_1.1.99.1_all.deb, installs this version: gmusicbrowser_1.1.99.1+1514; when I add the nightly PPA, it installs gmusicbrowser_1.1.99.1+1516. This newer version causes a lot of my cover art not to load. I have no idea why.
After downgrading gmusicbrowser on my device, I now see all the album covers, which is great. However, now, half the covers won't load on the lock screen, or the pulldown menu. So there's something going wrong with MPRIS.
I also noticed that on deskop, the 'now playing' cover is wrong no matter what version of gmusicbrowser I'm usung. I can even look in the gmusicbrowser config directory and see that the 'now playing' mpris jpeg is correct, but the indicator stays stuck on the first song that was playing when the program started. On my phone, it does change, but it's just missing image thumbnail half the time.

I had the same problem, after updating to LM22 (desktop) and kubuntu (laptop).
My solution to get the icons back is to change the symbol theme from "Standard" to the downloaded theme "Color", but other themes work fine too.
Just an other hint: With the layout AlexC base/compact the Album takes more than half of the screen.
My solution was to replace in AlexC.layout file "HBcenterup = _Cover" by "HBcenterup = Cover".

Hi all,
Using Gentoo Linux with version 1.1.16, I tried to play an AIFF track using gstreamer, mplayer and mpv, same result. I cannot import it, but I can reproduce it via terminal with mplayer or mpv. I'm not sure if GMusicBrowser is not able to reproduce it, because it's not detected as music file, but I as I said it can be reproduced with other players as directly mplayer in terminal or with Audacity, for instance.
When I change the codec, I close the application but same result.
Any suggestion is appreciated, KR

Good morning!
I'm sorry to say the latest KDE Neon upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04 has broken my gmusicbrowser installation and after a bit of investigation I'm at a loss as to how to fix, or whether a fix is possible.
It was uninstalled automatically. I've tried re-installing via the repository and the problem basically seems to be the absence of libgtk2-perl, but I'm at a total loss where to go from here. I'll paste the full output below. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated!

Hi,
The "gapless" mode is not fully working on GMB 1.1.16. There is still a little gap between 2 tracks.
Is there a way to make it work better ?

Bonjour,
Le mode "Gapless" produit quand même une petite coupure entre les morceaux.
Existe-t-il une astuce pour qu'il fonctionne mieux ?
GMB 1.1.16

HI Quentin, are you saying I need to go to Github and compile from source, in order to speed up the display of cover art?
This one is pretty flukey, so hopefully you'll be able to help. I gun Gmusicbrowser on my main, Ubuntu machine, and everything works fine. I also run it on my Pinephone, which runs Mobian, a Debian distro. It works fine here, too, except often times my album art doesn't load. It will load fine on my desktop and laptop, but I won't see anything on the phone.
When I go to edit the tags for a song with missing artwork, it'll say 'unknown' under embedded pictures. If I go to advanced, and down to picture, it'll just say 'error' where the thumbnail should be.
I have tried to isolate image size as the problem, the presence or absence of ID3v1 tags, or anything else I could possibly think of. I can't find any reason why these covers won't load. They're all jpg, and I'm running 1.99 on all devices.
Any thoughts how I might be able to get the album art loading on Mobian? I can give you more details if needed. Thanks.

I'm using gmusicbrowser version 1.1.99.1, downloaded from github, on Arch Linux. I've been using earlier versions for many years.
In most ways, the gtk3 version looks and works fine; however, there are some icons that are missing. In particular, the main "Recently played songs", "Play", and "Next song" buttons don't have any icons. Hovering over the space where the icons should be, shows a tooltip with the above descriptions, and you can click on the space to trigger the action. So the functionality does work, it's just the icons that aren't there. They are missing in several different layouts, not just the custom one I normally use.
How am I supposed to get these? I think that I have normal themes installed on my system, and I couldn't see anything about this in the FAQ.
