convert: Respect album_art_maxwidth in conjunction with embed

[broddo]

Problem

Hey guys, I think I've spotted a bug - like the title says. I noticed that my converted files have the full size images rather than my requested maxwidth of 600.

However, if I just use beet embedart QUERY, the resize works fine and I can see the temporary images of the correct resolution being created in /tmp. So this tells me that its not a problem with imagemagick.

$ beet -vv convert AURORA runaway

Led to this problem:

I would have expected to see a line like:

artresizer: ImageMagick resizing /home/barry/Music/lossless/AURORA/All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend/cover.jpg to /tmp/tmp5vch3h.jpg

Setup

• OS: Arch Linux
• Python version: 2.7.12
• beets version: 1.3.18
• Turning off plugins made problem go away (yes/no): no

My configuration (output of beet config) is:

convert:
    never_convert_lossy_files: yes
    dest: ~/Music/lossy
    embed: yes
    album_art_maxwidth: 600
    format: aac
    formats:
        aac:
            command: ffmpeg -i $source -y -c:a libfdk_aac -vbr 3 $dest
            extension: m4a

Thanks for the report! I took a look at the code, and it seems that album_art_maxwidth is currently only respected when copying album art files (i.e., with the copy_album_art option). It doesn't apply when embedding album art during conversion (i.e., with the embed option). It seems reasonable to me to make it apply to both.

Technical details: we use the setting in the convert_album_art method, but not in the condition under if self.config['embed']:. The right fix is probably just to pass the maxwidth parameter to the embed_item call therein.

This is a problem for me also. It seems my ancient Android phone will display album art embedded in MP3 files if 300x300 pixels, but not if 450x450 pixels. Thus this bug is blocking me from getting my MP3s right for that device. I may come up with a patch for this soon.
