I noticed a few weeks ago while using the Kaleidescape app remote on my iPhone that when the screen went to sleep, the Lock Screen displayed a really cool view of the cover art for the movie playing as well as dynamically adjusting the background color to match the cover art's theme. See some examples below:

However, I haven't been able to replicate it since. Now when the phone screen sleeps, the Lock Screen displays a simple playing bar like below. Same thing on iPad. Does anyone know what controls this and how to achieve the view shown in the images above?

Nevermind! Very Simple. If the smaller play bar is showing, you tap on the cover art to get back to the full view. I'll leave this thread up in case anyone runs into the same thing...

Unfortunately, iPad doesn't appear to allow the full cover art view as of yet. Tapping the cover art just prompts for passcode.

Curious how you got Midsommar Director’s Cut and Apocalypse Now. These aren’t available on K. Two films I would buy on K if available.
 
Midsommar is custom cover art I uploaded over the Midsommar regular edition on the store. I own the Director’s Cut disc direct from A24 so wanted to indicate that/remind myself when I see it in the interface.

Apocalypse Now used to be available on the store.. Must be going through a licensing change.

Cool! Still hoping Midsommar Director’s Cut comes to K soon.

I have Apocalypse Now on K, it does appear that there's something going on with the license as it's not available on any platform not just K.

This is what shows on Vudu
