    nobody has to respond to, write this for me :D am at this age . . .

    I make a skin, come to view errors that would otherwise never notice ;)
    why I look at "cover" (Filmstrip view) layout, no scrollbar in Trackview (titan) - artist and album works and Cover Flow (n)
    I disable album support, I see scrollbar in Trackview :sleep:
    this is due to 3 levels or 2
    artist->album->track = track no scrollbar
    artist->track = track scrollbar
    I need this information in order to exclude skin error (y)

    I can.

    I have never, in the last 5 years, through all the versions of mvCentral, ever been able to scrape data (details, art, etc) for a single title.

    Part of the problem, IMO, is not the plug in but the source - last.fm. Quite honestly it's a pretty poor source for data. Nothing is properly organized & most of the stuff is missing. Hardly anything can ever be found on it.

    That said - what I love about the plug in is the easy database management. Do yourself a favor - grab a sqlite gui app like 'Navicat'. Add your videos as "add as blank editable" in the importer config.

    You can copy paste all the artist info, album, video, track info. Download images of your choice using Google & use the "Get Art -> From File" right click option in the config gui. You'll be a far happier camper :)

    In mvCentral log:
    Code:

    Searching for every actor, I get the error:
    Code:
    Authentication Failed - You do not have permissions to access the service
    But in the api is no property artist.getimages. There are of similar: artist.getInfo - http://www.last.fm/api/show/artist.getInfo
    Can someone fix it?
