def get_now_playing(player)
  return nil if player == nil
  
  response = send_transport_message('GetPositionInfo', player)
  body = response.body[:get_position_info_response]
  doc = Nokogiri::XML(body[:track_meta_data])

  # No music
  return nil if doc.children.length == 0

  art_path = doc.xpath('//upnp:albumArtURI').inner_text

  # TODO: No idea why this is necessary. Maybe its a Nokogiri thing
  art_path.sub!('/getaa?s=1=x-sonos-http', '/getaa?s=1&u=x-sonos-http')

  {
    title: doc.xpath('//dc:title').inner_text,
    artist: doc.xpath('//dc:creator').inner_text,
    album: doc.xpath('//upnp:album').inner_text,
    info: doc.xpath('//r:streamContent').inner_text,
    queue_position: body[:track],
    track_duration: body[:track_duration],
    current_position: body[:rel_time],
    uri: body[:track_uri],
    album_art: "http://#{player.ip}:#{Sonos::PORT}#{art_path}"
  }
end

TRANSPORT_ENDPOINT = '/MediaRenderer/AVTransport/Control'
TRANSPORT_XMLNS = 'urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:AVTransport:1'
system = Sonos::System.new
player = nil
system.speakers.each do |speaker|
  if speaker.is_playing?
    player = speaker
    break
  end
end

SCHEDULER.every '10s' do
  metadata = get_now_playing(player)
  if metadata and player
    send_event("albumart", { image: metadata[:album_art] })
    send_event("nowplaying", { text: metadata[:artist] + ' - ' + metadata[:title], moreinfo: player.name })
  elsif player
    send_event("albumart", { image: 'assets/sonoslogo.png' })
    send_event("nowplaying", { text: "Nothing playing in " + player.name })
  else
    send_event("albumart", { image: 'assets/sonoslogo.png' })
    send_event("nowplaying", { text: "Unable to connect to any player" })
  end
end

It does not display the albumart. When I look at the properties of the, broken, image I see that the url looks like: http://ipofthedasboard/assets/hhtp://sonosplayerip/etcetc/.. How do i strip the first part from this url ? (the part after /assets/ points to the correct location).

What service are you playing from?

I'm playing from Deezer. The albumart url is correct but "somewhere" it is prefixed with the url to the dashing server: http://192.168.178.22/assets.

Ah, I forgot I tweaked the image widget. You can fix this by editing image.html and removing prepend '/assets' or adding another widget, identical to the existing image widget but for that change, and use that instead.

Any insight on how I can get this to point to a specific bridge rather than it picking a random one on the network?

This isn't working for me. The dashboard won't load at all after installing this
