im using mi(cover) command and only when i use yt music or a music app the cover image is generated but when i use yt even if it has a thumbnail it doesnt come instead its black
Honestly, just don’t use the regular YouTube app for widgets.
YouTube app treats itself as a video player.
For Kustom widgets to work flawlessly, stick to dedicated music apps like YT Music, Spotify….. They pass proper metadata, and everything will display perfectly without any headaches.
yes but is there any way to ensure youtube thumbnails comes under mi(cover) image?
If you check the $mi(cover)$ formula in the editor while playing YouTube, you’ll see it returns a completely empty string. There is no URL, no file path, nothing.
Kustom can’t display an image out of thin air. It can only show what the app sends to the Android system, and regular YouTube sends zero data for the cover art.
Standard music apps (like Spotify or YT Music) register a proper Android Media Session in your notification shade with the full album art background.
The regular YouTube app doesn’t do that because it’s a video player. If the Android OS itself isn’t receiving an official media session artwork from YouTube, Kustom has absolutely nothing to grab. The $mi(cover)$ variable is literally a blank text string in the editor when YouTube is playing.
