Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing podcast cover art on an Android Auto widescreen display over USB, then inspect the linked debug log for relevant artwork or Android Auto errors. Done means podcast cover art is visible in the widescreen Android Auto interface, matching the behavior of the other music apps described.
