Feature request: albumart

[rain0r]

It would be very cool if javampd would support the MPD command albumart.

From the docs:

albumart {URI} {OFFSET}

Locate album art for the given song and return a chunk of an album art image file at offset OFFSET.

This is currently implemented by searching the directory the file resides in for a file called cover.png, cover.jpg, cover.tiff or cover.bmp.

Returns the file size and actual number of bytes read at the requested offset, followed by the chunk requested as raw bytes (see Binary Responses), then a newline and the completion code.

I can imagine an additional method in MPDArtworkFinder that takes the file path of a track and returns the cover that resides inside the same directory.

Though I'm not sure if it work's with the current implementation of MPDSocket#sendBytes() since that uses readLine() and the cover returned by MPD will be in bytes.

Hey there, just wanted to give you a little heads-up.

I implemented the command readpicture {URI} {OFFSET} which works similar to albumart {URI} {OFFSET}:

https://github.com/rain0r/ampd/blob/master/src/main/java/org/hihn/ampd/server/javampd/EmbeddedCoverService.java

The code is very rough around the edges but it works.

You may (or may not) take some inspiration from that.
