Basically topic. I’ve tried using some generic “catch all” widgets for music and they can see all other sources of audio and the associated album art, except for Spotify.

The app has its option to let other apps monitor it set, all permissions are granted to both the widget and Spotify. I’ve cleared cache, data, reinstalled, restarted, and nothing is working. It feels like some kind of specific permission I’m missing somewhere, because the music player apps can still read Spotifys track info and time and control it, etc. The official Spotify app works fine, but I don’t only use Spotify…

I’ve tried using Kustom Widget (KWGT), Widget Lab, and Widgeet. Any ideas? Anything I can try?

    My infotainment system in my truck cannot see album art from Spotify either. It either uses a band picture, or a generic image for the music’s genre.

    That’s on spotify. YTmusic doesn’t have this issue. I have album art on my homescreen widget from smart launcher.
