Cover Art Archive AlbumMetadataService Plugin

This plugin provides album cover images for Navidrome by querying the Cover Art Archive API using the MusicBrainz Release Group MBID.

Features

  • Implements only the GetAlbumImages method of the AlbumMetadataService plugin interface.
  • Returns front cover images for a given release-group MBID.
  • Returns not found if no MBID is provided or no images are found.

Requirements

  • Go 1.24 or newer (with WASI support)
  • The Navidrome repository (with generated plugin API code in plugins/api)

How to Compile

To build the WASM plugin, run the following command from the project root:

GOOS=wasip1 GOARCH=wasm go build -buildmode=c-shared -o plugins/testdata/coverartarchive/plugin.wasm ./plugins/testdata/coverartarchive

This will produce plugin.wasm in this directory.

Usage

  • The plugin can be loaded by Navidrome for integration and end-to-end tests of the plugin system.
  • It is intended for testing and development purposes only.
