no log info

If you could, please describe the issue in more detail.

I think this is probably a result of #3558

[NeonLightning]

what details do you need? not sure what i can add

[ReenigneArcher]

I cannot determine what the bug is from reading your description, nor are there any logs.

[NeonLightning]

no log output of errors. i've manually set the full path to my cover. and it's not loading any cover.

[ReenigneArcher]

Manually set in the UI or directly in the apps.json?

[NeonLightning]

tried both

[NeonLightning]

also tried adding quotes around the path

[ReenigneArcher]

Firstly, I would suggest not storing the image where Sunshine saves the files. You should never touch a directory manually that is in program files.

Secondly, I don't think this is quoted properly.

"D:\\Program Files\\Sunshine\\config\\covers\\3 Minutes to Midnight.jpg"

should probably be:

"\"D:\\Program Files\\Sunshine\\config\\covers\\3 Minutes to Midnight.jpg\""

You have a space in the path, so it needs to be quoted and escaped.

oh i did forget one thing. steam and desktop are working fine

[NeonLightning]

yup di
