For me, it updates the bookshelf cover, the details page cover, but not the player cover

I've observed that the bookshelf and details page covers update fine while the app is connected to the server.
In offline mode, the player cover doesn't seem to refresh and still shows the old image.

There are actually 2 pages when you download media. When you click on the book from the "Continue Listening" shelf for example you will go to the page that is using server data.
When you click on the book from the "Local Books" shelf it would go to the page that is using the local data.
