Upstream artwork for Playlists

[simes_pep]

Hi,
I have a number of Playlists, but just a blank icon for each
Is it possible to take the artwork or an artist photo for a Playlist please.

Thanks,
Simon

I believe you need to load these custom images into AssetUserUpstreamImages.

Hi, This is for Artist, and applies to Artist/Album & Artist/AlbumArtist which are settings in the ArtworkUpstream config file, but can this be used to apply it to Playlists?

Normally I would expect a person to have tested an answer before replying but in this case I'm very grateful that you didn't, as you resolved a question I've had unanswered for a week and a half now! Where did you see the ArtworkUpstream config file documented?

Going back to the playlist image, the page I linked to states:

How to: set custom artist, genre, etc pictures in Asset
Asset UPnP allows you to set custom images for specific browse tree items, by placing image files with matching names in "AssetUserUpstreamImages" folder.

I tested it on one playlist in AssetUPnP 7.4 and it seemed to work well.

Re: Upstream artwork for Playlists

Following the comments made here, I firstly discovered a typo in my 'UpStreamArtFor' file. I then experimented with placing a custom image in the 'AssetUserUpstreamImages' folder matching the name of the Playlist and bosh, I now have an image for the Playlist.

Excellent - sometime later and I now have custom images for the 39 Playlists I currently have in m3u8 format, that are read both by Asset and Roon. These have the advantage over those created in Roon, in that the Playlist order is fixed, which is important as they are all the setlist of a concert I attended and enjoyed.
Many thanks,
Simon.
