Describe the bug Our system use LMS with spotify & tidal integrated via a plug in, Spotify & tidal artwork is not showing up in the Hifiberry OS now playing screen / HDMI displays. It keeps the artwork from previous track played (which is stored on local NAS). Spotify & Tidal artwork is appearing well, without issue, on LMS and on iPeng iOS (control app)

HiFiBerryOS version 20201213

HiFiBerry sound card DAC HD

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour: play Spotify / tidal stream via LMS / squeezelite source

Expected behavior Expect to see artwork from spotify and tidal on Hifiberry OS

Screenshots advise if required

Is just the artwork incorrect or also the song information?

installaudio commented 3 years ago

Sorry I was unclear, Its just the artwork that is wrong, the song information is correct.

In this case, it's not a bug, but something that simply isn't implemented. Our Squeezelite controller expects local artwork files, that are not there with streaming services. I'll tag this as a feature request, but don't expect us to work on this soon as there aren't really a lot of users who will profit from this.

Some further information, we have noticed that within spotify - albums that are added to our favourites online appear within the LMS stored music, and these albums (which stream from online) do not have artwork stored locally but they do display artwork correctly when played via LMS 'My Music' on hifiberry OS.
