media player
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
***
Note. this is not a bug, but an issue with the Spotify client.
This is just a comment on how I was able to create a workaround.
When playing audio through Spotify, the media controller applet refuses to
render the album art of the playing track.
The journal logs show.
file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.mediacontroller/contents/ui/AlbumArtStackView.qml:132:13:
QML Image: Error decoding:
https://open.spotify.com/image/ab67616d00001e021cf647cd17bc7382a8056456:
Unsupported image format
Spotify is incorrectly using some invalid the album art url.
qdbus org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2
org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Metadata
mpris:artUrl:
https://open.spotify.com/image/ab67616d00001e021cf647cd17bc7382a8056456
Workaround.
I made an update locally to main.qml
Commented out
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/applets/mediacontroller/package/contents/ui/main.qml#L51
Added.
property string albumArt: {
if (!currentMetadata){
return ""
}
var mprisArtUrl = currentMetadata["mpris:artUrl"].toString()
if (mprisArtUrl.length > 0){
if (mprisArtUrl.indexOf("https://open.spotify.com";) == 0){
return
mprisArtUrl.replace("https://open.spotify.com","https://i.scdn.co";)
}
}
}
Then restarted the plasma-plasmashell service.
After the restart the media controller applet now displays the album art.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Play music using Spotify, with the media controller applet loaded
2.
3.
