Is it possible to display the cover on the squeezebox? The cover is displayed with lms.

@OzGav wrote Previously Marcel advised that "It should support that for the current track and the next track. If not, there’s a bug"

I've tested the metadata/artwork display across several devices and protocols as below.
The only protocol which seems to work consistently is Airplay, which I don't otherwise use as I am an Android user.

Using Music Assistant 2.0.7 in Home Assistant 2024.6.3

WiiM Pro (Displayed in Android "Wiim Home" application
Slimproto - No artwork, bitrate, bitdepth, frequency, "SQUEEZELITE" (screenshot below)
DLNA - No artwork, bitrate, bitdepth, frequency, track name, artist, album name
Chromecast - No artwork, track name, album name
Airplay - Artwork, bitrate, bitdepth, frequency, artist - track name, artist, album name

Please re-test with 2.4.0 - I just tested this and the cover shows fine in all scenarios I tested.
