'TagCoverArtImage' object has no attribute 'sourcefile'

I have several files that are flagged as errors with this error message. Seems like an issue with the cover art … that should not flag it so it won’t recognize it? How can I resolve this issue? I searched Google and here but could not find this exact error.

This is almost certainly a bug in Picard and that is why you won’t find it with an online search.

  1. What version of Picard are you running?
  2. What is your operating system version?
  3. Please enable the Debug/Error log, recreate the error and then copy and paste the last few messages in the error log here.

Thx.

Thanks for the details. That’s interesting, the file seems to be tagged with an embedded image which has a non-standard image type set.

Interestingly this issue was supposed to be fixed with [PICARD-2774] Error: 255 is not a valid Id3ImageType - MetaBrainz JIRA , but it seems to be not sufficient.

But maybe we can do even better and add support for this non-standard types if we know more about them. I didn’t get an answer back on that ticket, but maybe you know which software added this cover art and whether other tools (e.g. MP3 tag) show some meaningful cover art type for the image in this file?

I am not sure what program to be honest … this library has been through so many tools it isn’t even funny. The image is just a lo-res (184x163) PNG file. The meta shows encoded by iTunes but that is all I can find.

I created the ticket [PICARD-2814] Error loading files with invalid / unknown ID3 cover art type - MetaBrainz JIRA and will provide a fix for the next release.
