When a media is beeing played by Kodi, the title but also the artwork is presented.
Unfortunately, for me only the title is shown but no artwork.
In an attempt to figure out if the problem lies at KODI or Home Assistant. I used api cliënt Postman with the following request and received the artwork as a response.
The issue seems not to be at Kodi api side because when i use a api cliënt like Postman and run the following requests, I receive all the necessary artwork, which makes me to believe that Kodi integration is not sending the correct request or not interpreting the response correctly.
I also used Home assistant developer tools > action. Which gave me a parameter error, see further below.
I am not sure if i missed something or is this a bug within Kodi integration.
I bit of help would be much appreciated.
