Web app doesn't show album art

Album art from my personal library displays fine in the mobile app, but not at all in the web app. Is this a known bug or is there a solution?

This is a limitation of the web app architecture.

Well Plex is perhaps another option, but in that case, same as iBroadcast, you might need to pay for the service to get the higher quality audio.

Otherwise I guess it’s a case of using the Sonos App locally, or instead remotely over a VPN server/client connection - I know that the Softether VPN server platform and a connection from an iOS device using L2TP over IPsec will allow this remote connection to work okay (obviously with an SMBv2 (or higher) link in the Sonos App to a local library share).

Thanks -- Plex is indeed an option, but like the other options, it adds a layer I don’t really want. And since Sonos is discontinuing availability/support of its desktop apps, that just leaves the web app -- even for local use, AFAIK.

Not sure when the desktop controllers will disappear - I guess you could use iTunes and AirPlay perhaps?
