[PROBLEM] Coverview is not displaying/working after the time display configured in preferences

[the_bertrum]

Whats the usage scenario where having it activate when the timeout expires even while MPD is playing is useful?

Seems it nonsensical to have it any other way for me. The Coverview shows a nice image of the currently playing track cover art. Why would you only want that to show in the situations where the track isn't actually playing? In what way is it useful to show the cover of the thing that isn't playing? There's even an option to include the playbar: only when nothing is playing?

Now obviously, there are the other coverview modes like the clock, those I can understand might be only desirable when nothing is playing.

Seems we have one function doing two things, current behaviour is a kind of "screensaver" for showing something pretty when nothing else is going on, where as there's also a need (and historically provision) for a playback information display that cuts in over the control interface when no controls are being manipulated. It perhaps needs a "mode" setting to choose if you want a screensaver or a coverview behaviour?

I don't use coverview, but I have plans for a local display at some point in the future, and on that hypotheticals system I'd be wanting to see the coverview while the system was playing I think. Weigh my opinion accordingly (i.e. not much 'cos I'm not an active user of the feature).
