Images Fail to Download to External Storage

[gozes]

So I joined the beta today and trying to download some of my library to the SD card on my DAP. However as you can see from the logs it looks like I'm getting a lot of failed image downloads. Looking at the SD card it looks like the songs downloaded fine but I haven't tried all of them to be sure. It's hard for me to tell if the missing images would cause any issues. I usually add the cover art to every song when I tag them so it's unclear to me what images it's trying to download

So tapping around it seems that the images that fail to download are the ones that will be used in the player and as the album cover as songs seem to play fine in offline mode I just have a bunch of blurry colors that resemble the cover art instead of the actual cover art. The same is true for the artist tab in offline mode. I find it a bit strange it it's trying to pull down the album cover when I embedded the cover art on each song when I tag them so I would think I finamp would just look to see if track one has an image embedded then use that instead of trying to download it. Reducing the number of runners from 10 to 5 didn't really do much aside from making the process slower

Yes, that is a known issue that I also mentioned in my comment #842 (comment)

I've managed to pinpoint this to images failing to download for any tracks where no other track from that album has already been downloaded. It seems to be a permission issue, but I'm not yet totally sure why it happens.

Finamp doesn't look at the tags of files at all, all information is fetched from the server. That's by design, and in some cases like when transcoding is the only way to get the data.
