Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/872

In the new version the cover image has a odd aspect ration with default values in config.

Tested in Kitty and Ghostty on arch.

ps it seems like there is a internal swap of the variables, since cover_img_lenght is affecting width and vice versa for me.

cover_img_length = 14
cover_img_scale = 1.0

make a good sqaure atm ;)

I dont have this issue. spotify-player is forced to have these options as people have different fonts. For me, i have to downscale and resize like a rectangle to make it work for the terminal i use.

cover_img_length = 6
cover_img_width = 3
cover_img_scale = 2.5
