Sonos now playing artwork in control pages?

I see that the 'now playing' artwork is stored in:
/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/images/Sonos/

Mine is called:
/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/images/Sonos/Bathroom_art.jpg

In a control page, I tried making a new 'refreshing image url' with the url:

/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/images/Sonos/Bathroom_art.jpg

and

http://192.168.1.148:8176/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/images/Sonos/Bathroom_art.jpg

Neither work. Any tips?

Obviously I can't test this on my system, but try:

Code: Select all
file:///Library/Application%20Support/Perceptive%20Automation/images/Sonos/Bathroom_art.jpg


I have my iTunes artwork setup similarly and it works great.

@Adam

Sounds like your iTunes artwork is displaying ok?
My iTunes artwork shows in the Sonos or SonoPad apps just fine
but the plugin images won't update. All other sources display
and update correctly.

I've had this problem for quite a while, just never solved it.
Any idea?

Thanks,

Carl

Re: Sonos now playing artwork in control pages?

Carl;

I have a trigger that fires on any change of the Current Track from the iTunes Plugin. This trigger launches an external script (AppleScript) which exports the image to a set filename (and exports a "No Artwork" image if the current track doesn't have artwork or iTunes is no longer playing. The control pages just point a refreshing image at that static image file.

There can be a few second delay between the change and the new artwork appearing, depending on your refresh frequency, but it is only a few seconds... Otherwise is working great.

Sorry, guess I wasn't clear. I was referring to the Sonos plugin not
updating album art when it's playing from my iTunes library.

Thanks,

Carl
