[QUOTE="karl10247, post: 1112332, member: 116613"] Hi everyone, good work with the plugin jameson_uk glad to see someone stepped up to the challenge and succceeded :) a few questions if you dont mind: 1) From inside MP, the musicinfohandler plugin has categories: "missing artist" and "missing album artist". What is the "missing"referring to for the artists within these categories? Fanart / Thumbs? The reason i ask is that in both categories i have many artists which have a thumb and fanart so i dont understand what is missing. Album Artist in particular... it scraped say 90% of all album artists with thumb & fanart yet show up in the missing categories 2) When music is playing without a visualisation (alchemy) i go to fullscreen view (Y i believe) and the album / artist / similar track information is shown. What happens for me is when i click the artist information radio button the album cover shows not the artist thumb (i presume this is incorrect?). Album information shows the album cover which is correct but when either radio button is selected the lower track information box cycles between the album cover and artist thumb. Is this correct behavior? (see example attachment) 3) What is the recommended method of filling in the blanks for those artists that didnt get a thumb from the plugin? Strangely enough 2Pac didnt get one lol Where can i manually get the thumbs and such? 4) In either the plugin GUI inside MP or the artist list in music, when i goto "show album/artist info" for an artist without a thumb it looks up the artist showing a bio and artist pic (see example 2). When i exit this screen MP has downloaded the artist picture and used it as the thumb. This is all well and good but 9 times out of 10 when i lookup missing artists in this manner the aspect ratio of the picture is incorrect and i get an unsightly stretched face. Is this a built in MP function that has nothing to do with the plugin? Is there any way to fix it so it gets nice 200 x 200 pics? Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
