I get this in my log. Do not know if there is a link with the problem above:
[GitHub returned 401 for https://api.github.com/rate_limit] - Could not load HACS!
9:14:20 PM – custom_components/hacs/setup.py (CRITICAL)
I tried it myself and indeed, no artwork (or other metadata) is available. My guess is that AirPlay manages this by itself without spilling it over to MRP. Since pyatv has very limited AirPlay support at the moment, there’s no way for me to get this information for now. But I guess it would be interesting to add support for it.
But short answer is: no, it doesn’t work.
Strange, a while ago. I will try to see when it was working for me?
I have reinstalled a 2 weeks old back up with:
Hassio 0.106.6 and Pyatv v. fc79765
And the result is that the artwork is working great!
That is interesting, great that you could find a commit! 
I will look into it. Can you get the logs with atvremote --debug ... playing as well? It would help me to see what is going on.
@postlund I will need you help/guidance into that (-:
What should I write in the configuration file? I have updated to Hassio 0.107.7 and the great artworks still is working in your nice pyatv integration.
With the Pyatv v. fc79765
You can do it in several ways. Are you running Home Assistant on HassOS or something else?
Yes! On a raspberry Pi.
@ postlund I will have soon to repass to a newest backup soon since a lot of automations are not working anymore in my home and that is a bit… annoying. BUT I really want to help you if you need I am looking into something before that. Just give me some news so I know how long I will have to live with an old school home (-:
It is ok to revert, make sure it works for you! I’ll have a look at this tomorrow to see if I can figure something out!
Can you just tell me which app you used for airplay, so I can try with the same?
I use Spotify and then I choose the Airplay within Spotify. See below:
I have tried with other program such as Tunein Radio and it works great as well!
Can I reinstall my Backup? In that backup I have the newest Pyatv and the artwork is not working. I will not be able to help you afterwards. Ok?
That will be fine!
Great! Good luck with the artwork (-:

@postlund I really does not understand anything. Today when I repass to my newest backup with Pyatv v.ceb69bf… the artwork was working as a charm!
No idea what I did and what happened…
Hard to tell without logs from both occasions for comparisons I’m afraid. I’m still confused to why it works at all as I have never seen Spotify push this information over AirPlay before. Would be interesting to see the logs now though. This in your configuraiton.yaml would help:
logger:
default: error
logs:
pyatv: debug
custom_components.apple_tv: debug
I get the following error:
The websocket command media_player_thumbnail is deprecated. Use /api/media_player_proxy instead.
10:10:36 AM – Media player (WARNING) - message first occurred at 10:10:23 AM and shows up 3 times
But as I mentionned yesterday, the artwork is now working when I stream music on Spotify or another app such as TuneIn Radio
You can ignore that log, it is an issue in mini-media-player and will be fixed in the next release (if the release isn’t already out, not sure). I guess we will have to monitor the situation then. Logs would still be appreciated though, so I can see how AirPlay picks up metadata from Spotify (since I cannot reproduce it myself).
