Vlc Player Mac Album Art

Vlc

VLC is a free, open source, cross-platform multimedia player that can play almost any multimedia file you throw at it. It’s become my multimedia player of choice because it free, light weight and versatile. But it’s not without it’s quirks.

PC/Mac/Linux Society. Depend on whether you're playing from the 'library' or if you right-click on a song/folder and 'play with windows media player'. Album art will also center/jump to upper. Here is way to change the VLC album arts. Just follow the instructions, 1. Open 'VLC player.' Click on 'Media' and choose 'Open File' option from the menu. Browse and open the media clip you want to change the album art for. Right-click the media that is playing in the VLC window and select 'Download Cover Art' from the context menu.

One problem I’ve had with it is that sometimes it will show incorrect album art. This happens when it’s album art cache is corrupted. The solution is to delete the cache as follows:

  1. Run the following command from the Run field in the Windows start menu: %appdata%VLCart. This will open an Explorer window with the contents of the cache folder.
  2. Close VLC.
  3. Delete everything in this folder.
  4. Close the window and restart VLC.

Now you’ve got a clear cache.

I have simplified this a little bit by creating a batch file that I keep on my desktop. The contents of the batch file are as follows:
cd %appdata%VLC
RD art /s/q
md art

Every time I need to clear VLC’s album art cache I simply double click on the batch file and I’m done.
