Airplay metadata in media-player #294

Hello! I have a mini-media-player installed to manage multiple music zones in the house. I stream music from my iPhone to shairport-sync. Shairport gets a file with metadata (Album Name, Artist Name, Cover Art) . However, the Home Assistant mini-media-player interface does not display this data. Is it possible to display it in the player somehow?

Description of Shairport-sync metadata: https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync-metadata-reader

Example of my interface:

Hello, Nothing I can do from the card unfortunately. This would have to be implemented in the backend component in HA, what media player component are you using? I would suggest creating a feature request in the core HA repository for this.

At the moment I have implemented this solution: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/simple-multiroom-with-home-assistant/193788
