1. Rescan the library fully – not just a refresh. Sometimes Minimserver’s cache gets out of sync and artwork + “recently added” lists behave strangely until you force a proper rebuild.
2. Check the Minimwatch logs (if you’re running it) – they often show hidden errors like files it skipped or issues with reading embedded art.
3. Artwork size/format – Naim apps can be picky if artwork is unusually large (some recommend <1MB JPEGs, ideally square). Even if Bluesound and JRiver show it fine, the Naim app might choke on certain files.
4. Database corruption – I’ve had to wipe Minimserver’s cache folder and let it rebuild from scratch before, which sorted similar odd behaviour.

Since your Bluesound and JRiver are showing everything correctly, I’d lean towards it being a Minimserver indexing glitch rather than a file issue. If you haven’t already, maybe back up your Minimserver settings, clear the index/cache, and let it do a full rescan overnight.

Curious to hear if anyone else has had the same issue with the Naim app recently – could still be a compatibility quirk.

Good suggestion to tryi other players/control point.
Bubble upnp not available for iOS.
Mconnect Lite (free) does not have a facility to connect to minim (not that I can see anyway).
I've installed VLC on my iphone, it connects to minimserver, and instantly displays what I expect, except not all artwork. I've checked a few albums and it looks like VLC is showing the album artwork as the naim app.
Gets a bit more murky as time goes on. How come Naim and VLC apps show the same artwork? Surely they have their own cache?
