Description

Summary of the bug:
When converting an audio file with cover art in metadata/id3, with the start time(-ss) option used. The cover art is not copied, no matter how the the "cover art/video/visual" element is attempted to be copied.

  • -codec copy
  • -c:v copy
  • -c:v png
  • -c:v mjpeg

I believe this is because the cover art is treated as a single frame of video at time zero, and when start time is not zero, there is no video. Obviously cover art is not a video stream, but I'm guessing this was done as a work around. But that's only my guess

How to reproduce:

* Use any audio file with cover art in metadata/id3
* Convert file with a non-zero start time
* Audio is copied as expected, metadata is copied as expected, no cover art

% fmpeg -i sample.mp3 -ss 10 -codec copy output-start-at-10-sec.mp3
