Audio 'Cover art' in place of screensaver (idea feature)

[aziz]

hi,

As described in the topic title it would be nice to have the ability to display audio cover art on the video interface just like WMP does.

If I remember correctly, RVM asked me for a patch, lol! Well I do not have a developer langaueg whatsoever, I am just an ordincary software user who happens to be enthusiastic about some softwares such as SMPlayer

This is a screenshot of cover art displaying in Windows 7's Windows Media Player (WMP):


This has been trac'd here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d ... tid=913576

As mplayer from understanding does not support grabbing cover art whatsoever it seems that a 3rd party library would be required for this one, if agreed.

Furthermore if ever implemented in future:
-exist a simple tickbox option to be able to disable too for users that don't want it.
-perhaps a further option to be able to stretch cover art size to that of the interface window as well original cover art size.

Thanks

I would like to add my two cents to this request. SMPlayer is the best player out there, and would be perfect if only it would show the cover art of an mp3 file. Any hope of this feature coming out?

If people think this is a interesting feature I'll try to add it in the future.
