The issue is that Coverview is not displaying/shown on screen, via a browser during playback.
Steps version 8 (8.3.6) :
Configure Coverview in preferences to be active after 1 minute (Automatic display : yes, tumed display : 1 minute, backdrop style : gradient (linear), display mode : cover art, layout : default, playebar : yes, extra metadat :no)
Browse my library, add an album to play
Start playing
And let the display/web browser page open (smartphone, PC or tablet)
After 1 minute and more, nothing happens
Hit pause
After 1 minute coverview is active
In version 7 (7.6.1 2021-12-17), the coverview was working well, even during audio playback with no "crontab trick".
Hope it's more clear for you.
Thank you.
IIRC a few years ago based on user requests the behavior of CoverView was changed so it won't activate via the timeout when MPD is playing or a renderer is active. The (i) help is below.
Code:
Show CoverView on all connected clients after the specified number of minutes when MPD is not playing and no renderers are active. Note that CoverView will not be shown in mobile portrait.Whats the usage scenario where having it activate when the timeout expires even while MPD is playing is useful?
