@paf Patrick, album cover art is only on the web page for the station. Here is how I did the radio station image, proceed at your own risk I have LMS installed on raspberry PI OS Buster Desktop Max2play should be the same procedure, but check the file paths. I saved this url https://energyalltimehits.ice.infomaniak.ch/energyalltimehits-high.mp3 as a favourite with the name Energy all time hits I SSH into the pi and stopped LMS from running then, made sure I was in home Code: -------------------- cd ~ -------------------- I downloaded the .png of the image Code: -------------------- wget https://d3kle7qwymxpcy.cloudfront.net/images/broadcasts/24/49/123836/1/c300.png -------------------- this gave me a file called c300.png I moved it to the favourite image folder Code: -------------------- sudo mv c300.png /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Plugin/Favorites/HTML/EN/html/images -------------------- Then I opened the favourites.opml Code: -------------------- sudo nano /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs/favorites.opml -------------------- and edited the line for Energy all time hits, the red text Code: -------------------- <outline URL="https://energyalltimehits.ice.infomaniak.ch/energyalltimehits-high.mp3"; icon="html/images/c300.png" text="Energy all time hits" type="audio" /> -------------------- Saved and exited ( Ctrl +X, Y, Enter) sudo reboot LMS starts on reboot ronnie I used the RadioNet Plugin to find the radio station and right clicked the image for the link ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109951 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezenetwork
