Hello All,

I have been recently updating all of my MP3 music to include appropriate cover art for use with my new iPhone. After all of this work I noticed that PVRX2 will not load the cover art, or any part of the MP3 metadata, it just stays on the last update to that secton of the screen.

When I encounter the failure, while tailing the PVRX2.exe.log, the only thing I see, over and over again, is:
Code:
2009-05-31 09:39:17.863    VERBOSE    [1]    UiList.GetRenderList()
2009-05-31 09:39:17.879    ERROR    [1]    Unexpected error loading Details Summary: System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid.
   at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(Stream stream)
   at GBPVRX2.x1fdc2c7d98811d8c.x8353c8b4dc8f34c4()

Reading the error I thought perhaps it was expecting the cover art to be a Bitmap file, not a JPEG. So I removed the JPEG, converted it to Bitmap, and re-added it to the MP3 metadata. Unfortunately it made no difference.

The screenshots.7z shows what I mean about the metadata load.
The logs.7z are all logs for GBPVR. The PVRX2.exe.log shows the failures, for ~5seconds at line 960 2009-05-31 09:39:17.863 and line 1839 2009-05-31 09:39:54.426. The first error set is with a JPEG cover art and the second is with Bitmap (bmp) art. Not that it makes a difference, just wanted to show all my testing. In between I removed the cover art to get a valid load of the metadata.

GBPVR v1.3.11 with all patches from survival thread. Have not tried removing patches...but I don't think those patches have to do with the situation.

Thanks for any ideas.

It probably doesnt like something about the way the artwork was embedded. Can you supply a sample file?

Sample Smile.

Note: the images work fine in iTunes, my iPhone and foobar2000. So at least it is within spec, but may be slightly off from what PVRX2 expects.

I use mp3tag to write the tags and images.

Thanks as always for looking at this sub.

Just tested something. Changed my tag writer from ID3v2.4 UTF-8, to ID3v2.3 UTF-16.

Also tried ID3x2.3 ISO-8859-1...not that I know what any of that means Smile...but anyways, it looks like ID3v2.4 does not work in PVRX2.

So the question is, does GBPVR support ID3v2.4? If not, are there plans to support it.

Not a big deal if no plans. Looks like we can mark this resolved.

Ok - at least you have a work around for now.

I use a third party library for reading MP3 cover art. I cant remember off hand what it supports, but its not the sort of thing I can change. I'll check whether this is an updated version of the library available though.
