Add Gnome Podcasts to display artwork?

[JasonLG1979]

Thank you, I'm glad someone finds it useful. Sorry I couldn't help you fully resolve the issue. Believe me when I say that I wish the GNOME people weren't continually breaking things. It's like they don't test things...

[Scotty-Trees]

Okay no worries, thanks for taking the time to look into it. I'll follow up with Pop and upstream for now. And thanks again for making a sweet extension.

[JasonLG1979]

If you don't see cover art it's because none is provided or it's running into the same bug as Spotify. #15

[JasonLG1979]

It seems to work fine for me on Ubuntu 20.04.

You know, it's honestly probably something related to Pop!_OS I bet, but I'm not wise enough to know exactly where to go track that down. I do have one quick attempt though if you'll humor me, do you have the flatpak app Flatseal installed? It allows you to set some permissions for flatpaks. I honestly highly doubt that would fix this issue, but on the slight chance maybe it could, here's what my flatseal settings look like for Podcasts, maybe yours are similar, or different, but I'd be willing to test any differences to see. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong haha. Btw thanks for taking the time to checking this issue out.

Edt: meant to mention I also have that Spotify bug as well with the extension, which leads me to believe it's something Pop! related.

My flatpak permissions are the same. I haven't changed them for any app. I don't even use GNOME Podcasts, I just installed it to test against this bug. I also didn't have flatseal installed either again I just installed it to compare with your permissions.

d-feet and Logs are the easiest way to debug mpris/dbus issues.

Check the logs for errors by searching for @JasonLG1979.github.io if there is an error loading cover art it will be logged. We'll start with that.

You can also look and see what GNOME Podcast is giving mpris for cover art with d-feet. Look for mpris:artUrl in the metadata. You can check to see if it's a valid url by opening it in a browser.

Checking out Gnome Logs, under the All tab, when I go to play a Podcast episode, Logs does show this error at the top of the list, hope it's somewhat relevant: The sender is gnome-shell

JS ERROR: Extension [email protected]: Gio.IOErrorEnum: Operation not supported
getCover/<@/home/scott/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/widgets.js:70:50

Screenshot below for full detail:

Give me a moment and I'll check out D-feet, I haven't used it before, but just installed it.

Give me a moment and I'll check out D-feet, haven't eve used it before but just installed it.

It looks like #15 to me.

[JasonLG1979]

#15 basically means that extensions can not load remote images.

[Scotty-Trees]

My D-feet entry looks a bit empty compared to yours! If the screenshot is a bit hard to see, I can go into dark mode.

[JasonLG1979]

Podcast has to actually be playing something.

[Scotty-Trees]

Yup, Podcasts is actually playing something right now

Double click the metadata field.

This appears to be a duplicate of #15 to me. I'd file a bug report with pop. The upstream bug is here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2284

[JasonLG1979]

I'm going to close this as a duplicate. There's nothing I can do to fix the issue it's an upstream bug.
