Which backend extension are you using? Does it definitely support album art already? Not all do (gmusic).

Please don’t post screenshots, post text.

@jjok had the right answer. Mopidy-File does not support get\_images:

You have highlighted a good point thought, it would be helpful if the Mopidy-File documentation made that clearer.
