[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 493570, member: 27204"] Yes, there is an artist image. The one for Angelique Kidjo is still the same image that I had before when it was sticking. That db record also has a Bio. All I changed was the accent on the name and it stopped sticking, so it may have to do with unicode character support. The other two that stick a little bit have very large artist images! So I think it is just the couple of seconds loading them into memory. I just resized mine and it stopped sticking (one was 2258x3365 and over 400KB), Actutally I always resize all my images to 702x405 as it increases performance in MP a lot - smaller the file size, the less it has to load in memory. So if you have any way to limit artist images to a max resolution, that might be a great idea for performance. BTW I was thinking about your View conditions. If you eventually support VideoTitles, which only appear on the video screen, then I can use a condition like <visible>Control.isvisible(20)</visible> where (20) is the Id for #MusicVids.VideoTitle. Then you won't even need the#MusicVids.ArtistView control. Or, you can just set a control id for Artist View and another for Video View (like the TVSeries plugin does) Sorry for all the hassle about the sticking, but it is always good to know, in case other users run into it as well.
