Covers do not get sent

[ArsenArsen]

Hello! I have been using mpDris for a while, and I noticed that it does not send covers on songs, while Cantata, VLC, etc detect the covers fine. Below is my config:

[Connection]
music_dir = /home/arsen/Music/

I have even checked the log, and the directory is used, Thanks

Do you have the Python mutagen module installed, and does mpDris2 mention it during startup?

[ArsenArsen]

Hello, Yes I do have mutagen installed.

Below is the full log:

Sometimes the glib error does not happen though.

The glib error happens because you have desktop notifications enabled, but mpDris starts before the DE component which shows those notifications. This could probably be improved, similar to g-s-d...
