When casting to a Chromecast Speaker Group including a Nest Hub, no artwork is shown on the Nest Hub. However when casting solely to the Nest Hub, artwork shows correctly. This is not a new issue, I don’t ever remember this working correctly. Casting from most other music apps like Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, etc. work correctly.

I’ve noticed this too for several years. Album art works fine and looks great when streaming to one device. It even shows what song is playing next in the corner along with the album art. But if playing through a speaker group, there’s no album art and the song playing next doesn’t show at all. Not a deal-breaker…it just looks very unpolished when trying to showing off my sweet Plex setup in my home to my friends (potential customers).
