How to provide album art for custom music library

[Moshi0]

It seems like both AlbumArtProviders are useless with a custom music library without using additional cache.
You cant always figure out album art location from just FileURI or FileInfo.

Since music libraries work around fields, can we have a third AlbumArtProvider that passes something that can query FieldName and Value from a given file?

Basically I have to either add additional cache (FileURI->AlbumURI) and pass it around the plugin which is very ugly, or get access to "ID" field or one of my internal fields.

I afraid, one way now is provide album art based on FileURI of first record in a group. I will think about the solution for new version of player.

Next version will be v4.60, but I have no idea when it will be done.
