Media player - plex music cover not showing

Configuration Frontend
1

Hello all,

So I’ve been trying different ways to make this work and have been unable so far. I am about to use the config template card to dynamically set the background image of the mini media player, but before I do so, I wanted to make sure I was not simply doing something wrong and there was an easier way to make it work.

As you can see from the image, when I play music on a google nest speaker, neither the media card, the mushroom media card or the mini media player card are able to show the artwork for the song that is playing. However, if the entity is the chromecast, then it works.

Any insight as to what the issue might be or a possible solution would be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at the media player entity when it is playing.

Does it have a entity_picture attribute? This would be how the integration provides the picture to the frontend.

Maybe some integrations provide this picture and some don’t. If you find that some integrations consistently don’t provide a picture, or provide an invalid link, you could file a feature request or a bug with that integration.

It gives null if I look for the entity_picture attribute. For a reason I do not understand, the plex_chromecast has the attribute but the actual speaker does not.
