Now-playing art "blinks" on track change

[simoncn]

It looks like Asset is maintaining an internal image cache for both folder.jpg files and embedded artwork. Each track in the album references this cache as the source of its artwork image. When Kazoo moves from one track to the next, the artwork URIs for both tracks are the same and Kazoo doesn't reload the image.

With MinimServer, embedded artwork is served directly from the audio files, so the artwork URI would be different for each track even though the images are the same. This causes Kazoo to reload the artwork and for some reason it is requesting the image three times. This reloading appears to be the cause of the blinking that you are seeing.

If you delete all emdedded artwork from one album and use a folder.jpg or folder.png file instead, MinimServer would reference the same artwork URI for all tracks in the album. Can you try this to see if it fixes the problem with Kazoo blinking?
