hey guys...running rpi4 with latest HiFiBerryOS and all music local on an external thumbdrive...I don't want this thing ever connected to the internet so I tried following the doc here to get images set up: https://www.hifiberry.com/docs/hifiberryos/hifiberryos-handling-local-music-libraries/ the folder structure was different than what was outlined in the article so I placed a few test images at this location on the main/largest partition that Balena Etcher made when setting this SD card up: library/artists after placing the few test images there, the generic microphone image is gone for each artist but now there's only complete white in those circles for the few artists

also, there's a similar folder on another partition named "hifiberryos" and that has a "data" folder like the article says...I thought about making folders in there to match the structure mentioned but am too afraid to mess something up...any help's really appreciated

for future users: figured it out. The functionality works on HiFiBerryOS v20230404 (latest stable). You have to duplicate images in both places (put them in /library/artists on partition 1 and /data/library/artists on partition 4). create the folders where they don't exist. use "sudo nautilus" on ubuntu-based linux machines so you have permissions you need for the file copy operation
