The SHOUTcast v2 "stream artwork" will actually be set to your 'Station Image'.

In ProppFrexx you'll find a 'Station Information' window panel (by default its tab page name is 'radio42').
If you have closed it, you can show it from the 'View' ribbon tab by clicking on the 'Station Info' button.

When the 'Station Information' window panel is visible - right-click on it and select 'Station Image...'.
The image you have now defined is also the image being transmitted to the SHOUTcast v2 server as the 'stream artwork'.

If UAC is enabled, note, that each user can define its own 'Station Logo' in the users configiguration settings, see the 'Images' tab.

Anyhow, are you sure, that your squeezebox really supports the SHOUTcast v2 client protocol?
This would be needed in order to display the SHOUTcast v2 artworks!

After days of trying reading, i didn't solve it yet. If i connect to the stream of our radio station, it workst ok. Thrue my own stream, wich is also a shoutcast stream nothing is displayed. I think thrue the stream of our radio station it goes thrue an external database (tunein) or something.
But what is the divverence between the content create by proppfrexx and those online databases?

Various external services offer their own image and station logo of their 'featured' streams.
These are maintained by an editorial crew and provided by their own API/interface to the end users or hardware interface (like e.g. tunein.com is doing).
This has nothing to do with the standard SHOUTcast v2 options!

For example for my own personal radio is showing an image when using tunein.com - that displayed image is selected, maintained and profived exclusively by tunein.com!
I never stream an image - that image is hand-selected by the editorial crew of tunein.com - and so to say their value-add to their service.

If a player/hardware device whatsoever wants to leverage the SHOUTcast v2 options - they must support the new SHOUTcast v2 protocol.

ProppFrexx can (only) 'speak' SHOUTcast v1 and v2 - but can not influence what other player/hardware or tunein.com is doing!
