We currently default to the App Icon on the locked screen controls for Podcast playback. In order to use the Album art for each Podcast we need to implement a more reliable way to fetch the Podcast Episode data.
Describe the solution you'd like
We would need to send in a PR to thepracticaldev/dev.to to change the way the metadata message is sent across the native bridge. The ideal way would be to consume the Podcast Episode's API endpoint. This will give us in a more reliable way the Podcast Name, Episode and Album art.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative still requires changes in thepracticaldev/dev.to and we would need to scrape the Podcast Episode page to find the Album art. This is flaky in the sense that a future change to the web might break the metadata action sent across the native bridge.
