PlexAmp doesn't cast album cover to Google Home Hub

It seems PlexAmp doesn’t cast the album covers to Google Home Hub - the music plays fine, metadata is displayed, but the album cover is only visible on the phone app, not on the smart screen display. Is it possible to fix this?

Edit: Android 11, PlexAmp 3.4.5, Pixel 5

Seems to work from my Pixel 4a5g. What version of server are you running?

Server version is 1.23.0.4482

My cast screen looks very different from yours though…

Looks like it is because you are casting to a speaker group. I just tried a group and got the same screen you see. If you cast to just the hub it will show the artwork.

I don’t know if some sort of Google Cast API limitation with speaker group casting. In any case I will make a report for folks to look into it.

I have the same issue if I use Plexamp on my iPhone and cast to my Google Home Hub I don’t get any album art, the same screen as emrkklm gets.
If I use PlexAmp on my android tablet and cast to the same Home Hub I get album art.

I do not have any speaker groups set up, I am just casting directly to the device.
I hopefully test on every new version of PlexAmp but no joy.

Any ideas ?
