Description hacker1024 2020-05-27 12:14:43 UTC
SUMMARY

When using a music player (that supports MPRIS) on KDE, everything gets sent to the phone in the form of a MediaSession and notification - including media controls, track, artist, and album names, and the playing song's album art.

When using a music player on the phone, however, all of the above gets send to the computer and exposed over MPRIS - except the album art. None is supplied.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Play media with album art on the phone (with a player that starts a MediaSession (in other words, uses Android's media integration APIs)
2. Notice that the album art does not appear in the Media Player plasmoid

OBSERVED RESULT

The album art is not sent over through KDE Connect and exposed via MPRIS.

EXPECTED RESULT

The album art should be sent over through KDE Connect and exposed via MPRIS.

Any updates on this issue? Seems like that this bug is getting unnoticed by the devs out there.
