Strange exception occured when I was changing songs in NowPlaying window.
MP merely crashed, although on RC4 it was working perfectly.

Hey RTV... Here is the logs to do with WinAMP engine crashing in Mediaportal under Last.FM... I would really appreciate a responce as this is truly a game killer.. I am torn between my Milkdrop, R4 visuals and this amazing plugin.. Oviously I will choose the later but I'd rather not...

Please get back to me... Also out of interest you might want to jump in to the mediastream skin furum as we have been discussing your plugin and skinning options in length. Thanks for your time...

    Hey RTV... Was wondering if you have heard of any odd behavour between Last.FM and WinAmp milkdrop visuals... Seems that my Milkdrop is crashing due to certain behavour from Last.fm... Does not happen in my music or any other section of mediaportal that allows the visuals to show.. Thanks....

    Sorry - this must be an issue outside of last.fm's scope since the plugin has no "special" handling for visualizations at all.
    There are plans however to upgrade BASS which would surely affect the visualization handling...

    Thank you for the logs - I'll try to find out what went wrong and fix it.

    RTV... Do you know or have you heard of any one else having this issue... I would have thought a few must have noticed as to have Milkdrop or any other visual for that reason along side the best music in the world is surely a popular thing.. :) I don't know man, it's so ashaim as I can't find any alternative but to make a very hard decision :D

    I think I'll keep with last.fm. Sorry R4 and milkdrop :(

    HELP please .... !

    @ rtv

    just a short question.

    i tried to bring in the progressbar in my skin for lastFM.
    it is shown but it is not running.
    it always stays @ the beginning while the time is correctly shown in my skin.

    i took the Progressbar.xml part from the MyMusicPlayingNow.XML

    is that plugin so different from the myMusik plugin?

    any ideas?

    thank you

    polarie

    PS: will post a screenshot in a few secconds ...

    EDIT:

    as you can see in the screenshot -
    time is half away -
    but the progressbar still at the beginning no movement.

    i looked if i have to import the common.progressbar.xml
    but that didn't brought the solution ...

    You are missing the label on your progresbar. Try this:

    Code:
    <control>
    	<type>progress</type>
    	<description>track progress</description>
    	<id>118</id>
    	<posX>881</posX>
    	<posY>451</posY>
    	<width>320</width>
    	<label>#percentage</label>
    	<visible>player.hasmedia</visible>
    </control>
