Does anyone actually make use of the top track tags etc in now playing music ?

Never used

 

[wizard123]

No me neither i think i might change it to this it's much more useful.

Might want to change 'composer' for 'artist' but looking lurvely

 

[wizard123]

Its the composer tag from mediaportal ?

 

[SpudR]

In your first screenie you have a 'Composer: Dan Smith'
I think this should be 'Artist: Dan Smith' instead. assuming that the composer bit is hardcoded...

 

[wizard123]

He is the composer though technically

In Dan's case you are correct, but it depends - composer = writer of music, not necessarily the person performing the music.
It's also more regularly used for Classical music as in:
"Bach is my favourite composer" rather than "Dan Smith is my favourite composer"

I'm still unsure what your getting at lol and by that logic it should say writer not artist

 

[wizard123]

I've changed it for release date now anyway lol

Here is a little download for you guys, if you put this on your desktop and run as admin it should backup your skin settings xml to C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\
Then when the next update is out when you run the installer it should automatically restore your backed up settings.
