MPRIS Fails to Cache Cover Art for Spotify

[calebstewart]

Describe the bug When using the example MPRIS Media Player widget, it works perfectly when the player is (for example) YouTube in Firefox. The cover art is loaded as the thumbnail of the video that was playing. However, when the player is the official Spotify client, the cover art does not display, and the following error is logged:

** (gjs:1175049): CRITICAL **: 17:54:17.226: player.vala:531: Failed to cache cover art with url "https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b27388d03ef62aac9bfebfbee9d7": Operation not supported

When this happens, the widget still works, but there is no album/cover art.

To Reproduce Run the example MPRIS media player widget (ref) and use the official Spotify desktop client.

Expected behavior The cover art is cached the same as w/ YouTube.

Additional context Output of ags --version:

Damn it. I hate when I'm that guy. I apologize for wasting your time, and thank you for politely telling me to RTFM. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I've been in and out of these docs all day, and somehow missed or forgot about that very obvious and helpful warning.
