hey thanks for sharing your issue @Father-Dimi , do you have mpDris2 installed

the music-info uses bling's playerctl signal and mpDris2 adds MPRIS to mpd. which can be used with playerctl

you should install mpDris2 with the following: sudo pacman -S mpDris2

I preformed your recommended command (note; arch does not officially support that package so i used aur) and realized that the build failed, i did install all previous requirements from your readme and must of not realize that this package failed, so i built it from source and album-art and artist info started working, thanks for the help

closing this issue
