On v4.50.6 on Windows, the album artwork integration doesn’t seem to work.
The Lockscreen doesn’t show it and the app FluentFlyout’s taskbar widget doesn’t either.
The rest of the integration is working fine though, thanks for that!

I don’t think that Plexamp has any support for Windows lockscreen widgets.
What is this?
Has been added since Plexamp v4.50.3: Ready or Not
An application that displays the currently playing music in a neat widget on the taskbar, it directly uses the API’s that the new Plexamp release targets.
AFAIK, this meant a notification appearing in the lower right screen corner, while the desktop is unlocked. I’m not sure it has much to do with a lockscreen widget.
That always existed.
The change is about full integration into Windows Media API’s, including things like the running track, and it’s coverart on the lockscreen.
The integration already works well in this new beta, it’s just not transmitting the coverart correctly, which is what this bug report is about.
Windows media integration. The old desktop app had precisely nothing here: no Now Playing overlay, no system transport, nothing in the volume flyout. Windows finally gets proper media integration with artwork and controls, through the same native layer that drives Now Playing on macOS. Linux MPRIS is native now too, and does seek, position, volume, raise and quit properly, which we know a few of you have been waiting on for an embarrassingly long time.
