Hello,
I am trying to get the cover art of the currently playing track to display in a remote interface I am setting up. I am using an ios/android remote control software called iRule. I am able to pull out all the info I need via a json http post, and that is working great. The issue I am having is the remote does not support variables for urls. So even though I can query the album artwork url, I cannot use it in my interface. I was going to write a script that does the query, downloads the art and saves it locally with a file name that never changes, so I can pull that from my remote interface and refresh every few seconds. Before I go through that process, is there a way to view the artwork of the currently playing track from a static url? I can then cause my remote to refresh that image every few seconds. I am running version 7.7.2 - r33893 on a synology NAS device.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
