Some songs Art no showing

[Jisan09]

I'm trying to get thumb image of current playing song.
For some it showing & for some it returning white star image .

.get_now_playing().get_cover_image()

Not every track has an image. What track is it happening for?

[Jisan09]

These bellow songs & many other songs also can't recall their name now

• Sachet Tandon - Mere Sohneya
• Javed-Mohsin - Pal
• Jasleen Royal - Kho Gaye Hum Kahan

But when making raw api call, it returing image.
x = requests.get(f'http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=album.getinfo&api_key={API_KEY}&artist=Javed-Mohsin&album=Pal&format=json')

It will good if it get fix or it return None in place of that Star Image so can use api call as try except to get the thumb.

.get_now_playing() calls https://www.last.fm/api/show/user.getRecentTracks

pylast/src/pylast/__init__.py

Line 2278 in 5c9509d

doc = self._request(self.ws_prefix + ".getRecentTracks", False, params)

https://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=user.getrecenttracks&user=Jisan09&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&format=json

Do you see image when making a raw API call to this endpoint?

You can also add this to your Python progam:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

And find your pylast/__init__.py and uncomment this:

    def _check_response_for_errors(self, response):
        """Checks the response for errors and raises one if any exists."""
        try:
            doc = _parse_response(response)
        except Exception as e:
            raise MalformedResponseError(self.network, e) from e

        e = doc.getElementsByTagName("lfm")[0]
-       # logger.debug(doc.toprettyxml())
+       logger.debug(doc.toprettyxml())

        if e.getAttribute("status") != "ok":
            e = doc.getElementsByTagName("error")[0]
            status = e.getAttribute("code")
            details = e.firstChild.data.strip()
            raise WSError(self.network, status, details)

It will then print out the data it's getting from the API.

On making raw API call by https://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=user.getrecenttracks&user=Jisan09&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&format=json
its returning Image for all songs. Some are correct and some are white star.

But one thing i noticed the songs which returning white img doesn't have mbid & album mbid

For example this song with white thumb.
{"recenttracks":{"track":[{"artist":{"mbid":"","#text":"Jasleen Royal"},"streamable":"0","image":[{"size":"small","#text":"https:\/\/lastfm.freetls.fastly.net\/i\/u\/34s\/2a96cbd8b46e442fc41c2b86b821562f.png"},{"size":"medium","#text":"https:\/\/lastfm.freetls.fastly.net\/i\/u\/64s\/2a96cbd8b46e442fc41c2b86b821562f.png"},{"size":"large","#text":"https:\/\/lastfm.freetls.fastly.net\/i\/u\/174s\/2a96cbd8b46e442fc41c2b86b821562f.png"},{"size":"extralarge","#text":"https:\/\/lastfm.freetls.fastly.net\/i\/u\/300x300\/2a96cbd8b46e442fc41c2b86b821562f.png"}],"mbid":"","album":{"mbid":"","#text":"Baar Baar Dekho (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)"},"name":"Kho Gaye Hum Kahan","@attr":{"nowplaying":"true"},"url":"https:\/\/www.last.fm\/music\/Jasleen+Royal\/_\/Kho+Gaye+Hum+Kahan"},

And this song with correct thumb.
