Steps to reproduce

  1. Start playing any book that has to be streamed from the server
  2. Pull down the notification shade and look at the media controls notification

Expected behaviour

  • The cover shown in the media controls notification should have the same quality as the one in the app.

Actual behaviour

  • The cover in the media controls notification has a much lower resolution than the source image. See attached screenshots. This issue does not appear when the book has been downloaded, only when streaming it from the server.

I updated Glide so that it doesn't resize the image anymore. In my testing Glide was still reducing the quality of the image a lot but it is noticeably better.

Can you share a screenshot of the quality loss? Last I looked at this I didn't see how to have no quality loss at all

I can add adb logs or server access logs if you wish, just say the word.

This was fixed for me in 0.9.81-beta but seems to be broken again in V0.10.0-beta. Using a Pixel 6a. Tell me if you'd like me to send screenshots.

Noticing the same issue (although seemingly less severe) on iOS 26 with 0.10.1-beta on the lock screen and media controls in the control center.
