I’m not able to say how much I paid sorry. Guessing won’t do anyone any good.

Hence the lack of a question mark. As that’s what I think and saying how much on your side won’t help. C’est la vie

I may or may not have just bought one...

Hello,

The stock DMP-Z1 firmware has received a fix, that will allow it show all album cover images.

If you're not familiar with the issue, the firmware will only display baseline JPEG images, or non interlaced PNG ones as album covers. With this fix, all types of JPEG and PNG images will now be shown.

Enjoy!

Note: Before aNyOnE will say "But wait MrWalkman, you said you cannot mod firmwares without owning the device.", this fix doesn't need experimenting/testing, and it's risk free. Thanks for your understanding.

Thank you @MrWalkman ! Outstanding work.

mine question I had :

will I be able to swap microSD between a wm series that’s been updated with your firmware and a non modified one or a non modified DMP, or some of the new image info will be of conflictwith the old firmware?

The fix has nothing to do with the microSD card. It's only a modification of the firmware, that will allow it to also load and show those progressive JPEG or interlaced PNG images.

For example, if you use the normal stock firmware from Sony, and you have a song with a progressive JPEG as cover, the image will not be shown up. If you will install a modified stock firmware that has this fix, then the progressive JPEG image cover of that song will be shown up.

Got it, thanks again for all your work!

Speaking of micro sd cards, are the 1tb sizes supported on the DMP? I'm assuming yes but double checking.

They are supported on the WM1 players (launched in 2016), so the DMP should support them as well.

I have mine working in there, just out of the box, write music folder and put music in there, no format needed

Thanks, that is great news indeed! I never understood why the Sony players are so terribly finicky with artwork.

Do you know when this "New" firmware was launched? Do you have a SONY official download link? I cannot download it from your Google dropbox now from mainland China.

Cheers,

The stock firmware was modified by me to have the fix I was mentioning. It's not an official fix.

It's just the stock firmware, but with the ability to load all types of JPG and PNG images.
