Hi, I am running MPD on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, the newest version today is still 21.20.  
After the latest MAFA update that supports “Readpicture” I get: the message:  
“Limited support: missing optional commands: readpicture” under “Manage Servers”.  
First I was worried that something was wrong in my setup. After investigating I understand  
thar it is a new feature since version 22. Even when I do not choose “Enable MPD embedded  
album art” in my settings I get this warning in “Manage Servers”. Is it not possible to change  
this until I easy can upgrade my server without compiling the a newer version of MPD?  
I don’t want to touch my well working system and destroy anything.

Best regards  
Peter

Hi Peter,

This message is [informational only](https://mafa.indi.software/help/mpd-servers/). It lets you know that the embedded album art feature is not supported by this MPD server.

The `readpicture` command is optional so MAFA still works fine with this MPD server. You don’t have to upgrade.
