[Feature Request] Use thumbnails directly from song metadata

[ghost]

It might take some time for Media Store to cache them. This should get fixed automatically.

[ghost]

Do I need to stay on the app for it to get cached ?

[zyrouge]

Nope, it is handled by Android itself.

[ghost]

Do we have a way of using the thumbnails already saved in the song file instead of using the Media Store.

[zyrouge]

Media Store uses the embedded album and cache it for use. Maybe it's time to not rely on Media Store for thumbnails.

[ghost]

Yeah I think so to. Plus I saw on an other music app that it's not 100% reliable

[zyrouge]

This comes with the cost of caching all the covers of the songs in the library which is really inefficient and high in memory consumption depending on the size of the library.

[ghost]

Smartphones are getting better every years and that other music apps already use this feature, I think it can be possible.

If I look like a dummy saying things it's because I'm not currently a developper.

Are you working on this? @zyrouge
If not i'll open a PR and we can discuss about it.

Don't work on this yet. The better way to solve this would be implementing custom metadata decoders, which will be implemented in the next update or two.
