To allow extracting pictures from FLAC file metadata, the Klipspringer platform includes the command flacpics1. This is completely separate from the Klipspringer hub, which can display image files taken from a data subdirectory among the audio files during playback with kliptrack and audiostream sources, but doesn’t display pictures included in audio file metadata.
By default, the names of the picture files that flacpics produces are based on the SHA-1 hash of their contents, to avoid getting duplicates of the same image under different file names.
Run flacpics -help for a full list of available arguments.
Notes
- The command is a shell script that launches the Java class FlacPictures. Hence, Java needs to be installed, but Node.js doesn’t.
