Expected behavior

Some playlists should show proper album art for each track.

Actual behavior

Some playlists do not show proper album art for each track and merely duplicate one of the earlier track's album art.

Steps to reproduce behavior

Looking at the API response that populates this particular playlist:

GET https://beta.stream.resonate.coop/api/v2/trackgroups/6a2ec571-3887-4ad5-9048-70d360ce1731

It looks like the covers for all these songs actually are all the same (except for the second one). I dunno if that's a bug with the API then, maybe from when the songs were added to the playlist?

Hmmm... That means it could either be a problem with the addToPlaylistAction on L506 in packages/menu-button-options-component/index.js in this repository, or a bug in our tracks-api repository, which is not yet open source. If it's on this side, I think we need to check and see if data.cover on L546 is always correct. When a track gets the wrong album art, in my experience, it's always been the album art from a different track already on the playlist from what I've seen. If we can't find a time where data.cover is wrong, then we'll know for sure it's in the code in tracks-api that contains the bug.

Here are a couple of more examples of playlists where this happens. the example at the start of this thread was also from me.
All playlists were made using Firefox on Ubuntu.

I think I've worked out where this behaviour occurs.

If I add a track to the playlist from the 'playing widget' it gets the correct artwork - where it seems to use the 'playlist artwork' is when a track is added from a release page track list, or directly from an artist page i.e. not in the 'now playing widget'

Hope that makes sense. I'm not familiar enough with the code yet to check it.

I think that the duplicate cover art is always the artwork from the first track in the playlist - which is also the artwork given to the playlist itself when it is first created.
