Description Velent 2025-05-08 14:02:37 UTC
SUMMARY
Elisa does not send track cover art to KDE Connect if it is embedded. If the cover art is available as a cover file, it will be sent. Although the cover is present in the Media Player applet and pipewire window preview, this is starnge, as I assume they all use MPRIS.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Play any track that contains embedded cover art
2. Check Multimedia control section on other device running KDE Connect

OBSERVED RESULT
No cover art is shown if it is embedded

EXPECTED RESULT
Cover art is shown no matter if it is embedded or not
