When playing a movie/show on the Apple TV and the information is relayed to the iPhone Lock Screen controls, the image displayed is the background art. The metadata image is a wide rectangle which then gets resized into a square and ends up relaying very little information at all. In contrast, the Plex Apple TV app displays the poster art which actually fits in the available space.

Is this a planned improvement for the 7.0 release that is said to include some UI revamps?
Yes, we’ll look into this.
Perfect. Thanks!
Hi,
Maybe this is a silly question, but I’ve been trying to figure something out for a while. I use Infuse on my Apple TV. When I play something through Infuse on the Apple TV, I immediately see on my (locked) iPhone what’s playing, along with a cropped version of the fanart image I’ve set.
Is there any way to store separate images specifically for the iPhone and iPad so that the artwork doesn’t appear cropped? I hope I’ve been able to explain my question clearly.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Arish
It’s not possible to set a specific image for AirPlay at this time. Sorry.
@James would it be possible to use the poster title of the playing show rather than the copped fan art?
Moving to suggestions. Thanks!
Can we please improve the artwork on the iPhone lock screen, which is square and of the lowest quality possible? I reported this issue more than a year ago, and there has been no update from the support team.
@james Did this ever get looked in to? I noticed today that the Apple TV app shows the poster for what’s playing and it looks much better.
I don’t think this being even looked at, I opened a ticket and still the same square low-quality artwork shows on the lock screen.
With only one like on the first post it doesn’t seem to be a much wanted feature. 
But why has this to be an added feature? Most of the video apps such as Netflix, Plex, etc., show the artwork in rectangular format with high quality, and it’s just Infuse that shows some random image in square format.
Agreed, it seems like this would be a relatively simple fix rather than a big change. For Plex users, and presumably wherever else the metadata has been matched, the poster images are already there ready to be used.
Don’t forget that you need to click the like button on the first post in this thread to show your support for this suggestion! 
Done! If the others watching this thread could also then hopefully we can get this looked at 
Infuse 8.3.7 now uses poster artwork on the lock screen. 
Amazing! Thanks @james
@james just tried this. Playing from my Apple TV, it still showing the banner image rather than the poster on my iPhone’s lock screen. Both apps are up to date.
Did you try doing an “edit metadata” and selecting the correct match again?
The image is right in my Plex setup, it’s just that the saved banner rather than the saved poster is being displayed on the lock screen
