FIXED on post #23 - Problem with "ALBUMART" indicators not updating on song change

**monkeyracer** · 04-20-2008, 10:59 AM

Issue with album art indicators:

I have album art showing on the menu.skin and on the Audio_Player.skin with the indicator "ALBUMART" where I want the art to show.

The problem is, if I am playing a song in the menu.skin and switch to the Audio_Player.skin then change to the next song and switch back to the menu.skin it will show the last song's art. If I then switch to the next song, it will update, but when I switch back to the Audio_Player.skin it's on the last song. Also, the ilist doesn't update correctly either.

Here's a vid to show what I am talking about:

Any idea on what is going on here?

using embedded art? yah.. I still have this problem once in a while with the updated mp3art plugin.

Please Try the second version of the plugin in the embbeded art plugin thread.

From this thread:

Embbeded Mp3 Art Plugin

I thought this came packaged with the 12/6 release. I will try to download that plug-in later and see if it works.

The newest version of the plug-in is buried in the DFX 2.x thread i'm pretty sure. If you find it, it'll be interesting to see if it makes any difference.

Add a playlist to the menu.skin. It does not have to be visible, just 0x0 pixels, and everything will update correctly.

By Jove, I think that's the ticket... I'll try that out tonight... (because I think I have the newest version of the Mp3Art plug in.)

I was just looking for the post I put that in some time ago and could not find it. I think it was the same you are trying to do, and someone said it worked for them.

Use something like this line:

Code:

S01,0,0,0,0,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,255,0,0,0,TRUE,20,"Arial Narrow:B"

EDIT:

Found it! Here is the link to the original thread....

still not working. I tried all the above stuff, and it is still not updating between skins...

**monkeyracer** · 04-23-2008, 05:18 PM

So, I tried the 0x0 S line, tried adding an iList, tried having a code that turns off the indicator and turns it back on, I've got the newest version of the plugin. So what's the next step to try?
