What was the Problem?

If I stream a book the media notification displays the cover art properly. But if I download the same book the art is not displayed. This reminds me of #141 . I'm not sure if the root cause is the same.

I did some googling and Android 10 seems to require an additional permission for the notification to browse local files. Perhaps this is the cause? I don't have newer android to test with to see if this is OS version specific.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Download audiobook to local storage
  2. play book
  3. view notification, artwork is missing

What was Expected?

Art work should be displayed on notification

Phone Model

Moto g7

Phone OS

Android 10

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.9.79

Installation Source

Google Play Store

Additional Notes

I also tested my app against the demo ABS server. To make sure this wasn't a problem with my files. Same behavior described above. I tested against several of the books hosted there.

I tried on an Android 14 phone and the artwork did display correctly in the notification. This leads me to believe it may be the permission issue I mentioned. We are using internal app storage.

Possibly related to https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf-app/issues/924 Android 10 (both issues are on Android 10). I think there is another issue about the cover image not appearing in the notification, but I'm not able to find it.

I have the same issue on GrapheneOS on a Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Can confirm that the cover artwork is only missing in case of downloaded audiobooks, while it's showing correctly when streaming it.

Pixel 6a—same problem here. I assume that it's everyone else using the latest Android version as well.
