Invalid Cover about audiobookshelf-app

[advplyr]

Are you getting any errors in your server console? Are you updated to the latest version?

The way covers are stored on books has gone though so many evolutions, when you open up the "Covers" section in the edit modal does the cover path start with "/s/book/"?

Indeed I get some error messages:

Server Vers: v1.6.26

[advplyr]

A new version of the app is released, can you check the new version?

The backup and user progress undefined error I haven't found the source of yet, but I don't think they are related to the cover issue you are having.

I'm not sure how to get logs from the server console, but I'm having the same issue as OP running app version 0.9.28-beta.

I've tried it already but without success. I also tried to reinstall the Unraid docker but that didn't help too. When I remember correctly the Covers got lost with the first slumber update or one update sooner.

[Fenron-dev]

Just installed the new App Update. Sleep Timer seems to work now. :)
Covers still not work but I noticed something this time. The Cover shows up in the Widget.

I have problems with downloading Audiobooks too. It says finished but in the Download-Tab he is still at 0%. I have to restart the app and delete the "Download". Then I can stream it again. I had that error also in the last Version.

[Fenron-dev]

A small Update...I noticed that the covers are displayed when they are saved in the ".webp" format.

I have the same issue. My phone is the One Plus 8 Pro

[advplyr]

Are you all getting the error in your server logs about missing a user token?

[TheBinaryLoop]

I had to disable the hotlink-protection in cloudflare. Now it works for me. But thats not the best solution IMHO.

[advplyr]

Ah I didn't even think of that. Do you know how other software works around that?

[TheBinaryLoop]

Unfortunately not, but i don't know how you hande the images right now.

[advplyr]

I just realized the mobile app hasn't been updated to use the optimized cached images.. which are stored in /metadata/cache/covers/

You can still get any book cover from your server with the path
<SERVER URL>:<PORT>/api/books/<BOOK ID>/cover?token=<USER TOKEN>
book id you can get from the URL of a book page
user token you can get by opening up developer console and going to application -> local storage you will see token.

[advplyr]

v0.9.36-beta is live and uses the new cached covers from the server. If this is not resolved you can re-open this.
