Is there a way to force download of artists images? For some reason only a few (39 out of more than 1700) were downloaded

As said previously and the template says: No logs no chocolate.

I need logs during a sync

> Symfonium tries to automatically sync your data when there’s changes, unfortunately not everything can be detected like metadata updates or playlist updates. You can force a sync for a media provider at any time. From the filter menu Press the filter menu then press the Sync button for the provider you want to update. Some providers support differential sync, to force a full sync long press the Sync button. If a sync is running a small animation will run on the filter button. The c…

Ok, it’s more my misinterpretation of how it works than an actual bug.  
Symfonium is downloading whatever pictures are present on the server, not from another source. The thing is, navidrome is downloading artist picture only when you browse the artist’s page.  
That’s why most were missing.  
=\> all is working fine !  
Sorry, I’ve been bothering you all day, I was just too excited to discover an app that mostly fit my needs and trying to understand it.  
I’m gonna buy it actually, except for the star rating missing, Symfonium is the best app I’ve tried so far.
