Rockbox Cover Art Sync

This extension writes podcast subscription cover art to a media player. This extension assumes that each podcast has its own folder on device. Only folder-wide coverart is written - this extension does not do anything about embedded cover art.

Cover art is converted to the desired file format and image size via the python “pillow” module, and written to the desired filename.

Existing files (of the correct name) will be checked to see if they need to be overwritten to conform to the size, baseline/progressive, and file format parameters.

All jpegs will be written as “baseline” (rather than “progressive”) type. Rockbox only supports baseline jpegs.

Dependencies

Requires python modules pillow and filelock. These are available on pip.
