Hey, your widget is working perfectly but the artwork of the current track is not showing. Can you please help.

Hi,

The new version of spotify client for Linux no longer return metadata information for cover track with DBUS. I'm going to have to change everything to use the web API. It's gonna take some time.

Regards

Here a workaroung to still use dbus and MPRIS2:

Install https://github.com/freundTech/SpotPRIS2
Execute this command ./spotpris2 -a
Change my $spotify = $bus->get_service("org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify"); to my $spotify = $bus->get_service("org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotpris"); in spotify_getinfo.pl file

I'm going to release a new version with these changes with in the next few days

I'm not seeing artwork either even after trying this patch. I'm getting an error message saying Undefined subroutine &main::getstore called at ... line 71. Is this related?

EDIT: I added use LWP::Simple; to my imports and the issue is resolved now
