how to add station 'album art' to musicbox webclient

[ne4l4ng]

Hi,

Thank you so much for developing pimusicbox. I have added my own radio station streams and would like to add in the station's album art aka station logo in the now playing. How can I do this?

Also, how to get the now playing song and title as the web radio streams?

It uses the metadata and album art embedded in the stream. Some radio stations will send this, some don't. If it is present in the stream then it should be displayed automatically. There's no functionality to manually add it.

Thanks for replying @kingosticks ! the streams has metadata and album art embedded, but its not showing, Any ideas?

Can you provide the URI? Is the URI in the picture above the full address or is the end missing?

I don't see embedded artwork being found by Mopidy, nor VLC. I do see a stream title in there but I think that's not being displayed in Mopidy due to a bug in the old release in musicbox. We've had a few bugs over the years with that, not as simple as it should be! Sorry, I don't think there is an easy way to fix this, I don't have the resources to spend on a musicbox release.

I see.. thank you for taking a look anyway. Perhaps you could point me to where in musicbox to look? I could take a shot at it

To be honest I really do not remember how the old version worked w.r.t the stream title tags, it's always had to be a special case. It may not be as complicated as all of these changes we did but that's my quick survey of the changelog.
