Try for artwork now (I fixed a typo). I have no logical explanation for
either a black screen or for no sound. Is the Show's firmware up to
date? Amazon recently fixed quite a number of bugs in the Shows. Or is
your Show on a different WiFi network/subnet to LMS?

If the fav plays ok on a regular SB then it basically -has- to stream ok
on a Show because the Show is just pointed to the same /stream.mp3 from
LMS as a SB would be. It's LMS (with plugin if necessary) that is
actually handling the playback. There's then no difference between
streaming a radio station or spotty or a local LMS audio file because in
each case, the Show just gobbles /stream.mp3.

If, however, the url for the fav is *https* _and_ has the word *flac* in
it things are handled differently. Then there's no pseudo player in LMS
and the fav-url is provided as-is to the Show for it to handle the
stream itself outside of LMS. That's how we get lossless streaming of
favorites, as there's no /stream.flac in LMS. But this is not the case
for your fav so LMS is definitely in the loop here and there should be
no difference between favX and favY for audio.
