# What does this implement/fix? Fixes the remaining Apple TV now-playing issues after the AirPlay rewrite: the progress bar showed 0:00 while paused, and skipping tracks could make the progress bar or the cover art disappear from the now-playing screen until the Music app was reopened. The cause (confirmed on real hardware with wire logs): pausing only sent a playback-state change without the frozen position, and every track change rewrote the Apple TV's now-playing state three times in quick succession — which intermittently wedged its screen. - At a track change the artwork render now gets a short budget (1.5s) so metadata and artwork ride ONE bundled push to the device; slower renders still follow via the existing artwork command - No more redundant position correction right after a track change (the push itself starts the new track at zero) - Companion binary changes in music-assistant/airplay-cli#58: pause/resume now push the frozen/resumed position, and the artwork identity is kept stable across track changes so the cover no longer flickers or vanishes - Requires the binary release carrying airplay-cli#58: its auto-release opens a separate `CLIAIRPLAY_VERSION` bump PR on this repo, which merges before this one **Related issue (if applicable):** - related issue https://github.com/music-assistant/support/issues/5279 ## Types of changes - [x] Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) — `bugfix` - [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) — `new-feature` - [ ] Enhancement to an existing feature — `enhancement` - [ ] New music/player/metadata/plugin provider — `new-provider` - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected) — `breaking-change` - [ ] Refactor (no behaviour change) — `refactor` - [ ] Documentation only — `documentation` - [ ] Maintenance / chore — `maintenance` - [ ] CI / workflow change — `ci` - [ ] Dependencies bump — `dependencies` ## Checklist - [x] The code change is tested and works locally. - [x] `pre-commit run --all-files` passes. - [x] `pytest` passes, and tests have been added/updated under `tests/` where applicable. - [ ] For changes to shared models, the companion PR in `music-assistant/models` is linked. - [ ] For changes affecting the UI, the companion PR in `music-assistant/frontend` is linked. - [x] I have read and complied with the project's [AI Policy](https://github.com/music-assistant/.github/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md) for any AI-assisted contributions. - [ ] I have [raised a PR against the documentation repository](https://github.com/music-assistant/music-assistant.io/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) targeting the main or beta branch as appropriate.
