Display Prefs search pattern path issue

In Prefs>Display>Album Art>search patterns

path\$meta(artist,0)\*.*

doesn't seem to be working. Is there any formatting idiosyncracy to use $meta(artist,0) in a path here?

I use this under Artist ... pick what you like:
Code: [Select]
Artwork\artist.*
Art\artist.*
Covers\artist.*
Cover\artist.*
Scans\artist.*
artist.*
..\artist.*
..\..\artist.*

Artwork\%artist%.*
Art\%artist%.*
Covers\%artist%.*
Cover\%artist%.*
Scans\%artist%.*
%artist%.*
..\%artist%.*
..\..\%artist%.*

C:\fb2k_junction\images\artistpics.defender\%artist%.*
C:\fb2k_junction\yttm\art_img\$substr(%artist%,1,1)\%artist%\*.*

ok. but could you verify if substituting $meta(artist,0) for %artist% still works?  :)

the path part and the *.* is incorrect imo.

In Preferences\Display\Album Art\Artist  you enter the sequence of the search patterns to search for art relative of the current playing file. So no need to add $path (not path) to the pattern.

Just place a file like U2.jpg in the folder from where you are playing a properly tagged mediafile and use %artist%.jpg as a search pattern.
