Open music.yandex.ru Open browser console Paste this code:

navigator.mediaSession.metadata = new MediaMetadata({
    title: "11111111111",
    artist: "222222222",
    album: "3333333333",
    artwork: [
        { src: "https://avatars.yandex.net/get-music-content/5375761/c8e05100.a.19837155-1/200x200" }
    ]});

Open Now playing widget. Title, artist, album is set correctly. Cover not set.

macOS 13.0.1 (22A400) Safari 16.1 (18614.2.9.1.12)

Note! In macOS 12.6.1 Safari 15.6.1 (17613.3.9.1.16) all works as expected.

This problem is existing in iOS too, since 16.1.1 (I think). Before that it was ok. My laptop is old, and I'm with latest Big Sur, but there is OK too... I waited till the next iOS update, but now I see that this is Safari problem...

Having the same problem on iOS 16.1. The image isn’t showing on the now playing section of the control centre.

Can someone confirm is the problem is still existing in 16.3 Beta?

I recently purchased an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I see a grey square on my lock screen when listening to media on Safari.

Out of the box it was working, then it stopped. Utterly baffling!

It seems like this is due a fix as it’s a key feature to anyone using the navigator.mediaSession.metadata API, including the web version of Apple Music that also suffers from this bug.

I am having the same problem. I think it's about the update but I couldn't find any extra information.

iOS 16.3.1 STILL NOT FIXED!!!

Guys lets throw 1 report here: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/ with title "navigator.mediaSession.metadata error"

Obviously nobody is reading this forum here.

As you can see there is no Similar reports, so we have to point their attention to the problem.
