Content notes

  • Mention that album covers are uploaded from the media player
  • Mention that album covers need to appear in the media control overlay
  • Mention that for local files, album covers must be in the metadata of the music file
  • Mention common issues, like the current IPv6 issue, link to the troubleshooting section
  • Show the settings in the app that are relevant to this
  • Mention that with uploading the album cover it is always guaranteed that the correct album cover is shown. Using a music API does not guarantee this

Content notes (animated album covers)

  • Animated album covers are disabled by default
  • Animated album covers are only supported for Apple Music and TIDAL
  • Animated album covers do not work with third-party media players that have their own brand name, e.g. Cider, as the API is not used with those players. Link to the GitHub issue that mentions this
  • Video conversion servers are hosted by community members. If you'd like to contribute one of your servers, please contact me (name e-mail address). Also link to the source code repository of the server and mention that it's dockerized and easy to set up
  • Hint the user that animated album covers are an experimental feature and it might not always work
