Cover does not - show URL is wrong

[dennistdk]

Seems Spotify moved the URL where the covers are being fetched from. The meta data shows it as open.spotify.com/image, but it returns an 404 causing the covers not to show.
A temp. fix could be changing scripts/imgurl.sh to:

#!/bin/bash
baseurl="https://i.scdn.co/image/"
imgurl=`dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata' | egrep -A 1 "artUrl" | egrep -v "artUrl"| cut -b 75- | cut -d '"' -f 1`
echo $baseurl$imgurl

Hi, I solved the problem replace open.spotify.com - i.scdn.co

sed "s/open.spotify.com/i.scdn.co/"

(linux newbie here)
the covers are loading correctly into /conky-spotify/covers and /conky-spotify/current.
but the widget is missing the album image. This message appears after running conky -c conky-spotify-small:
rm: cannot remove 'wget-log': No such file or directory
any help? the rest seems to be working fine.

Hi folks!
Spotify changes some url, with this changes you can see the covers again:

id.sh
#!/bin/bash
id=dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata' | grep spotify/track/ | cut -d "/" -f5 | cut -d '"' -f1 | sed -n '1p'
echo $id

imgurl.sh
#!/bin/bash
imgurl=dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get string:'org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player' string:'Metadata' | egrep -A 1 "artUrl" | egrep -v "trackid"| cut -b 44- | cut -d '"' -f 1
echo $imgurl
