[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 875655, member: 76888"] Hi is there any support for music videos with mutliple artists? eg. Bob Sinclair & Sean Paul - Tik Tok.avi Could be stored under both Bob Sinclair - Tik Tok & Sean Paul - Tik Tok Would have to make allowances for artists that have 'and' in their name eg. "Florence and the machine" is one artist. If there was support for above, then artists with 'and' in their name would not be able to be typed with the '&' symbol. Also you might need to have an additional search as some artists with 'and' in the name are stored under last.fm using the '&' symbol. So "Florence and the machine" would be first parsed as "Florence and the machine", but if no matches were found then the plugin would also search under "Florence & the machine" and "florence + the machine". [URL='http://www.last.fm/music/Florence+%252B+the+Machine']http://www.last.fm/music/Florence %2B the Machine[/URL] [URL='http://www.last.fm/music/Florence+&+The+Machine%EF%BF%BC']http://www.last.fm/music/Florence & The Machine[/URL] [URL='http://www.last.fm/music/+noredirect/Florence++And++The+Machine']http://www.last.fm/music/ noredirect/Florence And The Machine[/URL] [URL='http://www.last.fm/music/Nick+Cave+and+the+Bad+Seeds?ac=and']http://www.last.fm/music/Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds?ac=and[/URL] Last.fm is inconsistent with it's use of "and" / "&" / "+" eg. "Florence + The Machine" vs. "Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds" Alternatively you could use a comma symbol or pipe | symbol for multiple artists, as there are not many music artists with comma or pipe | in the artist name. The best solution is probably a comma symbol, but I leave this all up to you, as whether something you would like to support or not. If you used a comma symbol then "Bob Sinclair, Sean Paul - Tik Tok" would have a database entry under both bob sinclair and sean paul both pointing to the same video file. When the music video was playing it would be best if both names were still displayed in the overlay. [/QUOTE]
