With my plugin disabled, if you tried to play the underlying stream URL
- http://radio.linn.co.uk:8004/autodj - you would not get the cover
art.

However, since you played it via TuneIn (possibly as a favourite) then
that cover art comes from TuneIn (the topic of another recent thread
here on the forum).

With my plugin disabled, I just played Linn Jazz and there was a track
by Alyn Cosker
The artwork shown was 
http://cdn-albums.tunein.com/gn/1Q5QG06RR1g.jpg
The Linn equivalent link that my plugin would have used is
http://radio.linn.co.uk:2199/static/linnjazz/covers/lyns_une_f9eb53b6.jpg

Unfortunately I have not been able to find a way work out what the URL
would be for the hi-res version held on the Linn platform.

Maybe I could cheat .... and build up a list of their albums and then
get them from their site ... given that they play predominantly
(exclusively?) their own label material ...

e.g. that Alyn Cosker album cover art is at ...
https://www.linnrecords.com/sites/default/files/styles/square_400/public/album_cover/AKD%20338%20Sleeve.png

While that might seem like a ridiculous idea ... given the heavy
rotation in what they play, it might be feasible ... but I suspect for
another day.

Right now TuneIn is laying the stations and showing a generic TuneIn
logo with text showing no artist and a title of
Ian Shaw - 03 - She s Loaded [bw]

If my plugin was doing it - it would have shown
artist: Ian Shaw
title: She s Loaded
album: Lifejacket
coverart:
http://radio.linn.co.uk:2199/static/linnjazz/covers/lifejacket_a4fcc855.jpg

In the meantime - you could delete that station from the plugin
configuration file (and remember to do it on each update)!
