Strange bug on the android app, where the cover art does not display in widgets if the track is a downloaded one. Works fine for things streamed from my server…
The problem occurs with both the standard Plexamp widget as well as one I have made with KWGT.
All the other track info displays fine and both widgets pause and un pause tracks just fine.
Any ideas what to do?
Downloaded tracks are displaying album art for me. The art is cached with the tracks and the same code that is used for publishing the art to nofications/Android Auto is used for the app widget, so it’s interesting it’s not working for you.
There might be something about your scenario that could cause issues, for example is the app installed to the main memory or an SD card or similar?
If you can send some logs it might help us see what’s going on.
I can’t speak to what the plexamp widget uses, but in KGWT the code/formula for album art is $mi(cover)$
I know other people manage to use the one from the android notification feed, $ni(something)$
That wouldn’t explain, however, why the mi code works for streamed music, and why the plexamp widget itself isn’t displaying art. Interestingly, both widgets do seem to register the art, as they change colour to match it, though the art space stays blank.
To answer your question: the music is stored on the phone’s internal memory, not an SD card.
I’ve tried to attach the logs I’ve found through my phone.

Sorry to double post. I tried downloading tracks from a different server. One to internal and one to external memory. Both displayed the album art in both widgets.
Seems like something about these previous downloads being older, from a different (offline atm) server, is perhaps the issue? Maybe something changed between app and or server updates?
