Installation

Mopidy-Local-Images can be installed using pip by running:

pip install Mopidy-Local-Images

Configuration

Before starting Mopidy, you must change your configuration to switch to using Mopidy-Local-Images as your local library provider:

[local]
library = images

By default, Mopidy-Local-Images delegates any requests to the standard json local library provider. To use a third-party library, such as Mopidy-Local-SQLite, you have to set this in the local-images configuration section:

[local-images]
library = sqlite

Once this has been set, you need to clear and re-scan your library for images to be extracted:

mopidy local clear
mopidy local scan

This extension also provides some other configuration settings, but beware that these are subject to change for now:

[local-images]
enabled = true

# the actual local library provider to use
library = json

# the base URI for images; change this if you want to serve images
# using an alternative Web server, or when accessing Mopidy through a
# reverse proxy
base_uri = /images/

# the directory where local image files are stored; if not set,
# creates its own subdirectory in <core/data_dir>
image_dir =

# a list of file names to check for when searching for external album
# art; may contain UNIX shell patterns, i.e. "*", "?", etc.
album_art_files = *.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png

Known Bugs and Limitations

With Mopidy v0.19, using this extension will slow down mopidy local scan considerably, since every media file has to be scanned twice. This should no longer be a problem in Mopidy v1.0 and later versions.
