Since I have installed the new 1.2.1 firmware I do not have any album art on the DS display. I am also suffering 5 - 20 second drop-outs. Nothing else changed with my set-up where I had perfect connectivity and album art every time. My situation is"
JRiver Media Center 20 with no changes after installing 1.2.1
Wi-Fi connection to the Bridge in the same room as my system (strong signal)
Album title and song name display immediately but without the Art
I have checked that 1.2.1 is installed, looked for Bridge firmware updates (none), and reset the bridge.
Interesting that the SD card had a cover art file on it that I was not able to delete so I used a different card that was empty. After inserting it and rebooting all is fine; I have cover art again!! Somehow the SD card must have become corrupted after I reinstalled it after downloading 1.2.1. Demons?
