Re: Pandora MusicBox 1.0.4
First of all, I have to let you know I really like this plugin and appreciate your hard work. The plugin integrate very nicely into MP and in general works very nicely with other plugins such as My Lyrics and Fanart Handler. Nice job!
I have a question and I'm sure you can answer it. Does this use the BASS player? So here is the behavior I see that is interesting. I was using BASS and had MP configured to do visualization (Milkdrop). However, I changed over to PureAudio since I feel it does a better job with gapless playback. However, PureAudio does not support visualization. No big deal. However, when Pandora plays, and I go to the Now Playing screen of My Music, I have visualization! So I figure that this must not be using PureAudio but is using BASS instead.
There also is some strange / wrong behavior when I go to Now Playing. I'm not sure that you support going to that screen, so there may be nothing you can do, but I will mention it anyhow. When you first go to the Now Playing screen, the artist / song information is just a long string of garbage. If you leave it on this screen, when the next song starts, the metadata is updated correctly. Also, the date information for the song shows the time and date that the song started playing, not the year the song was recorded. Just thought I would point this out.
Anyhow, keep up the good work! MP wouldn't be half the product it is without your effort. Oh, and I love the movie Rope. It's a classic.
