Hi all,

I happened to find the weird thing related to artowrk.

I have a Synology NAS and it works fine with my Beosound 5 Encore.  I ripped my CDs into AIFF file and embedded the high resolution artwork. 

It is very weird that if I store the file in USB ,  the artwork showed very nicely on the BS5E ( high resolution) but if I store the same AIFF file in NAS,  the artwork became very poor quality.

Has anyone ever experienced the same ?  And how to fix it ?

Thanks !

Use MediaMonkey to analyze ALL the artwork embedded. No doubt some low-res artwork will reveal itself to be resident. Another possibility is that your player may not read hi res artwork, depending on file size

there must be a scaler file under cgi-bin which is called jpeg-scale.desc (or something similar)
you must copy this file and past it under different folder.
Via Notepad++ you can open this file and modifiy the line to  exec: cgi-jpegscale $infile $outfile 500 500 $targetrotation
Save it and modified copy file under cgi-bin and replace the old file.
Keep the original file in different folder at your computer incase something went wrong.

thank you so much !!!!

I am currently travelling out of town but I guess your answer will have the most chance to fix the problem. 

As soon as I am back home on weekend , I will try the DMA setting and see the outcome.

Will keep you informed !

Thanks again !    As you mentioned, in the thousands of parameters of the Synology , I would never have figured it out if it were not you .

 I tried after I am back home.  Yes, it works.  Now I have my scanned high resolution cover art shown on BS5 Encore.

I have another thing puzzled me for a while. Please let me know if you have the solution.

- In itunes, if  a CD box set have more than one CD, then they are shown under One album and then you can see disc 1 , disc 2... if you open this album.  while you play it on BS5,  it doesn't play by the disc consequence.  i.e it play the track 1 of disc 1 ,and then track 1 of disc2,  and then track 2 of disc 1 , track 2 of disc 2....

The only way I have so far to solve it is to put CD1 file in one folder and CD2 another.  Therefore, if a CD box have 8 CDs ( eg. Beethoven's piano sonata), then it looks like you have 10 CDs on the BS5 Encore with same cover art shown on the BS5.  what I would like to achieve is to let BS5 play disc1 first and then disc 2, disc 3....

Thanks in advance !
