I hate to complain for a cosmetic issue, especially reading the outstanding issues.
Many formats allow attachment of multiple images via ID3v2 tagging. I originally noticed while playing .flacs under Fedora GNOME desktop, and have since tested .mp3 too... I fired up Jérôme Couderc's [EasyTAG](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/EasyTAG) and intentionally tagged various audio files with multiple images.
Issue: all versions of parole (up to e2e85642, from git, I guess 4.16.0 equivalent) will always display the first image found. It finds a metadata type 6 Image, parses it and moves on. Done!
Expected behaviour: Well, that's the thing. One _expects_ to see the cover or album art, so parse metadata til you find the first one with type #03 aka "Cover (Front)" if it contains ID3v2 tags maybe? Then default to first or last one read if not? _(you can't be responsible for people mis-tagging, anyway.)_ From there it's not a bug report but a feature request I guess? Do you rotate displaying every image found in the meta or just display the cover? Sequentially? Cross-fade them? Do you display them in some "normal" order as though you were looking at the LP/CD/DVD sleeve, with a configurable time-on-screen? _(ex. a holding a physical CD jewel case, you would see cover, cover back, media, then maybe each booklet page, then tray card? It would be up to who implements it, I assume.)_
Sorry I'm rambling.
I'm guessing the issue is in [parole-player.c around line 1850](https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/parole/-/blob/master/src/parole-player.c#L1850):
```
static void
parole_player_media_tag_cb(ParoleGst *gst, const ParoleStream *stream, ParolePlayer *player) {
gchar *title;
gchar *album;
gchar *artist;
gchar *year;
gchar *uri;
gchar *filename;
GdkPixbuf *image = NULL;
...
image = parole_stream_get_image(G_OBJECT(stream));
if (image) {
gtk_image_set_from_pixbuf(GTK_IMAGE(player->priv->audiobox_cover), image);
g_object_unref(image);
} else {
gtk_image_set_from_icon_name(GTK_IMAGE(player->priv->audiobox_cover),
"audio-x-generic-symbolic",
GTK_ICON_SIZE_ARTWORK_FALLBACK);
}
```
I guess you could put some parsing/handling under [parole_stream_get_image in misc/parole-stream.c](https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/parole/-/blob/master/src/misc/parole-stream.c#L383) but everyone's structured logic is different, isn't it?
Apologies I'm not up on tag processing outside or GTK/GDK coding. I will try to fix it myself however.

Operating system: Xubuntu 22.04
Parole Media Player version: 4.16.0
GPU: NVIDIA Geforce MX250
Driver: nvidia-driver-515
Description of the problem:
When I try to play videos in the formats mp4, webm and mkv, no video is showing, only audio is played. By default the parameter "Video Output" in Preferences was set in 'Automatic'. If I change it to 'Windows system X (X11/XShm/Xv)', finally I can see the videos but only in the formats mp4 and webm.
For the format mkv that change doesn't fix the problem, even if a set the 'Video output' in 'Windows system X (without Xv)'.
Before, I was using Xubuntu 20.04 (I don´t remember the Parole version). With the parameter 'Video output' set in 'Automatic', I was able to play all the videos in different formats without problems.
Another symptom I notice is that when I tried to play a big mp4 file (2.6GB), the RAM consumption became very high. If I play the same file in other software it doesn't happen.
Thanks for your support.

This means that you can't have the playlist on the screen while doing other things with Parole, like clicking pause or skipping around to different positions in the current playing song.
It also means that annoying stuff happens, for example, if you try to click on pause while the playlist is showing, the playback doesn't pause and instead all that happens is that the playlist disappears from view. So you have to click pause again annoyingly. And then you have to click on the playlist button yet again to be able to see the playlist again.
It isn't really very nice to use if you actually use playlists at all.https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/parole/-/issues/110Playlist is empty when using a DVD2022-09-11T17:23:06ZAlexander88207Playlist is empty when using a DVDHello,
