I’m trying to setup a Dakboard wall display at home, and it has Sonos integration to display what’s currently playing. However, it is failing to display the album art that is tied to the current song. In talking to Dakboard, they’re saying that it’s failing to work because Sonos is grabbing the artwork locally rather than from the Internet, and the Dakboard screens are rendered from their cloud service. That being said, the music I’m testing playing with comes from a streaming service, and I don’t currently own the music and don’t have it cached locally. Dakboard supplied me with the URL to the artwork that the Dakboard Logs say it’s trying to grab it from, and the URL is indeed a local URL to one of my Sonos speakers. Dakboard says that this is something they haven’t seen - that normally Sonos provides them with a streaming URL to the artwork if it’s streaming music from the cloud. Is there something I need to change on my side to change what URL is being presented by Sonos? Certainly the artwork is coming up on my local Apps, so Sonos is grabbing it from the cloud.
This is above my pay grade, but I don’t know if this helps?

If they are using the Sonos Cloud API then yes, this was a bug I reported in Sept 2020: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63922860/imageurls-in-sonos-cloud-api-metadata-are-often-local-addresses
DAKboard used to show local music library artwork - something has changed. I submitted a ticket to DAKboard support; we’ll see if the story is any different.

Sorry for the late reply to everyone - for some reason I didn’t receive email updates until I got actually mentioned in the last post.
This is the URL that Dakboard received from Sonos (when the dug through the dakboard logs) to try to display my artwork - that IP is a local IP for the sonos speaker that was playing the music. So basically Sonos was grabbing the artwork, caching it locally on the speaker and then instructing Dakboard to display it via the local URL, which Dakboard can’t do because it’s rendering it’s screens remotely.
