Read the Troubleshooting guide.

  • I have read and followed the Troubleshooting guide

Reproduction steps

Please check the tracks below, they are downloaded from youtube, cover art added using an app called kid3. (NCS music, safe to download I think)

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DbxRuibuZkEnih1azi36l-UZtQKEUOqQ

  1. Upload the tracks.
  2. Scan manually with koel:scan
  3. Songs show same cover art. They work properly on my local machine on mpv player.

Expected behavior

Different cover arts as per embedded in the files.

Actual behavior

Same cover art.

Logs

No response

Koel version

7.14.0

How did you install Koel?

Koel relies on getId3 (https://github.com/JamesHeinrich/getID3)
for meta data extraction, so maybe you can open an issue there.
