Use album image when playing songs about beatbump HOT 7 CLOSED

I've thought about that early on. Unfortunately, the only options for how it can be implemented are

Send a search to YTM, parse the data, find the album thumbnail, send it back

or

Send a HTTP request to a 3rd party API/DB and get the thumbnail that way.

Problem with the first option is how much processing would need to be done (which is a lot). The second one is a better option, but that would mean being dependent on the chosen 3rd party service - which wouldn't be optimal. Not to mention, either method would mean songs would load slower, since there'd be an added HTTP request for each song load.

If you have any suggestions or any better solutions let me know, I'll see what I can do

Yeah that’s about what I expected, but it was worth a shot

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to do much about that. The reason the album art shows when you search it is because 'Songs' is the default search filter, which will only show audio-only official song releases (their thumbnails are the album art).
If a song has a music video, then they're two totally different uploads, which have different IDs so therefore the API returns different data for them.

Song ID is: 9BrQUWQV1XQ	Video ID is: aNYjOVo5IEw

YouTube Music also has this annoyingly, since when the album was uploaded to their site, for whatever reason the video was chosen to be in the album instead of the song (https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=9BrQUWQV1XQ)
