What seems to be happening now, is that if I go to the 'Now Playing' section of My Music when using MediaPortal, even though I have an artist image, it is still looking at LastFM for an artist image and is downloading them in low quality. For example this is the image I had of Bon Iver: [IMG]http://hdimage.org/images/q2da3hq59dsldn3x7zqc_20725095.jpg[/IMG] Whilst playing a track from his album and leaving MediaPortal on the Now Playing screen the above image was replaced with: [IMG]http://hdimage.org/images/2a3sm9smoo8j8y2doleu_onver.jpg[/IMG] A resized image from [url=http://www.last.fm/music/Bon+Iver/+images/20275719]Photos for Bon Iver ? Listen free and discover music at Last.fm[/url] I've now disabled Artist Image lookups in the Now Playing section to hopefully stop this behaviour. Even if this function downloaded the high quality version from LastFM, I wouldn't want it to overwrite the existing image as I may have added my own images from gigs/festivals etc. EDIT: I've realised that by disabling artist image lookups the LastFM Radio plugin now doesn't look so shiny, however, I'd prefer that than images being replaced with lower quality.
