art work not working when casting with google cast integration
It seems like art work not working when casting the mini player card to a Google Nest Hub 2 by using the Google Cast integration.
Im getting art work on the mobile application while on the google screen its blank.
So it looks like the art is stored in the API (?) and maybe a place where the google casting is not getting the information.

just adding a comment that this works by using the built in media card. adding a photo of mini-player on left and standard media player on right side.
Recently all my custom cards started started playing nice on my google nest hub, great, except mini media player.
It loads, but doesn't show the artwork, also the color of the controls stay white and don't follow the theme or artwork colors like it does on other devices.
Maybe unrelated to this specific issue, but this card doesn't follow theme colors, for example shortcut buttons are white or black, but never blue in the default theme.
my guess is that this card handles colors and themes different than other cards, but I'm not experienced enough to understand what's going on in the code.
I also noticed that when the theme is switched from light to dark, the mini media player card doesn't update by itself, but requires a 'refresh'
I have the same issue. I've just created myself a dashboard to show on desk hub, and no artwork displays.
I've just had a quick look. Looks like MMP encodes the image from the API to Base64 and uses that on the card. I don't know enough about this stuff to see if there is an issue with the code of this card, or if it's the way Google renders Base64. From my quick Googling, it is possible to display Base64 images, so maybe it's an easy fix.
Unfortunately, I have the same issue, after struggling to get the MMP to show in the first place.
