Hi, first of all, thanks for maintaining Jukebox — it’s a really useful integration!
I would like to suggest some possible improvements. I understand that the main purpose of Jukebox is to allow friends to add music to the queue at a party. Typically, this would be used on a tablet that is passed around, or via scanning and using it from their mobile devices.
Some ideas to enhance the experience:
Add a first QR code to connect to the guest Wi-Fi (for example, on the left) and a second QR code with the app URL (on the right).
To make the interface more engaging on a TV, the album cover of the currently playing song could be displayed.
The integration already knows which media_player is selected.
Home Assistant exposes the entity_picture attribute of the currently playing media.
Displaying this image on the main screen (for example, alongside the QR codes) would greatly improve the user experience, especially if the page is projected on a screen.
When no search is being performed, showing the album cover of the currently playing media would make the interface much more visual and appealing.
It would be ideal if these improvements were optional, so as not to affect setups where no album cover is available.
