I'm using mini-media-player form the HACS store. I pretty sure you can't change the album art. That part is static. As far is i know, but thanks for the tip :)

That is not supported. The integration is designed to retrieve data from Icecast service by itself.

Just tested the radio stream url you provided (http://25493.live.streamtheworld.com/RADIO538.mp3) and currently broadcasted on air artist and title is properly decoded from the stream headers.

Moreover if you configure a LastFm API key, you'll get cover arts too, all automatic.
Much better than having to provide a static logo by yourself.

I have created a Last.FM API key and i have entered it into my config. Sadly i still dont get artist info or a album cover

media_player:
    - platform: linkplay
      host: 10.16.0.96
      name: Overkapping
      multiroom_wifidirect: False
      lastfm_api_key: #######################
      icecast_metadata: 'StationName'

[TheBigSadd]

i also used https://myha.com/auth/external/callback for the callback

Try with correct config:
icecast_metadata: 'StationNameSongTitle'

Thnxx it works now, but i would love to see the stations logo instead of the song album art. But i know this probably not posible using the Icecast service

Try with some template media player.
