Description
@Antoine The Audirvana Remote 5.0 app intermittently displays low resolution, pixelated album artwork when connected to Audirvana Studio 2.8.1.3. This issue has been observed when streaming from Tidal, but not from Qobuz.
Environment
- Audirvana Studio: Version 2.8.1.3
- Audirvana Remote: Version 5.0
- Host OS: Arch Linux with Linux-Zen kernel 6.8.7
- Docker Container: Ubuntu 22.04
- Android: Version 11
Steps to Reproduce
Note: This only happens intermittently, so I recommend you skip through a playlist of songs until you see the issue.
- Launch Audirvana Studio 2.8.1.3 on the host machine
- Connect Audirvana Remote 5.0 on Android to Audirvana Studio
- Play an album from Tidal
- Observe the album artwork displayed in Audirvana Remote
Expected Result
The album artwork should be displayed in high resolution without any pixelation in the Audirvana Remote app.
Actual Result
The album artwork is sometimes displayed in low resolution and appears pixelated in the Audirvana Remote app. The issue is intermittent.
Workaround
There is no consistent workaround. However, tapping on the pixelated album artwork opens it in full resolution.

Additional Notes
- This behavior has only been noted when streaming from Tidal. Qobuz album artwork should be tested.
Severity
Minor - The core functionality is not significantly impacted but it degrades the user experience.
