[Bug 1901344] Re: [SRU] Spotify album icon shows optimal CD disk instead of album/cover image

Fri Nov 27 23:07:25 UTC 2020

** Description changed:

  The Spotify Album Icon in the Sound Applet should show the Album/Song
  cover of the Spotify song. Instead it shows the default CD icon.

  According to upstream, the Spotify link has changed. A fix for this (and
  in the cinnamon-screensaver) is available.

  An SRU for BOTH PACKAGES, cinnamon, and cinnamon-screensaver in Focal
  and Groovy is required. (4 projects, 2 packages, 2 versions)
