The plain background can be enhanced by setting the Prefs option"Renderer backdrop" to yes.
If another dev wants to take on the challenge of capturing/displaying metadata/art then I'll be happy to test.
Hello Tim,
I had a look on it (i'am using mainly spotify with moode so i'am really interested). I've noticed that the receiver librespot on event such as started/stopped/changed pass the event itself but also the spotify_id of the song.
I've tweaked the spotevent.sh script to react to the changed event and not only to started/stopped, installed the python lib Spotipy on my moode player (quick and small) and wrote a small python script called by the spotevent.sh script and pass the spotify_id to it.
Now on every changed event, i have that kind of output (spotify_id, artist, album, song, url to coverart):

Could be intersting to search in that direction. I know it is pretty limited for the moment but i've just had a look yesterday evening. I have now to look on how your system works to push data to the backend/frontend.
The only requirement is to have enable the spotify developper and create an app to have client_id & client_secret (more or less 5min to create it)

JM
