Great work, (as for many) my favorite card now !
I am using 2 Bose Soundtouch devices, and "cloned"the 6 preset buttons. User friendliness for the wife to convince her to use HASS…
My 3rd player is an obnoxious LG Music Flow H5, integrated as a Chromecast device. The LG app sucks big time, and with mini-media-player I managed to create the same look/feel in HASS as for my Bose devices, although using mp3 streams. Now much more reliable and uninterrupted play !

My question:
The streams I send to my Chromecast device (mp3) apparently do not contain artwork. Can I force some kind of artwork or a picture as a background when I am streaming to the device? Or the same picture for each different stream ?

The view on my Bose when playing:
Bose2

And the view on my LG in Chromecast mode:
