No Album Art When Using Airplay

[rastallp]

Great app, when i play directly through Sonos, I get album art, when I play to Sonos via airplay I don't get any artwork. Could you please investigate and resolve?

Hey, thanks for reaching out! Sorry for the delay. I believe this should be resolved in the latest version in the Apple Store! Please do let me know if you're still experiencing this bug!

@jnewland This is still a bug both on the latest TestFlight version for iOS (2025.10.2 3784) and the latest published tvOS version. I did some experiments and came up with the results below. For each play source I checked the album status in the apps listed in the columns.

Play source	Album art in Bops tvOS / iOS	Album art in Sonos iOS app	Album art in Sonos web app	Album art in Home Assistant media player
Sonos iOS app	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Tidal iOS app -> Sonos speaker connect	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
Any app -> AirPlay Sonos speaker	No	Yes	No	Yes
Music Assistant -> Sonos speaker connect	No	Yes	No	Yes

In summary, no matter the play source there is always album art visible in the Sonos iOS app and the Sonos media player entities in Home Assistant.

Also, another find for iOS is that when the play source is directly through Sonos iOS app Bops shows the album art on the little icons for each speaker - but not on the main album art section. But if you lock the iOS screen then the album art shows on the iOS now playing status view… 🤷‍♂️
