Is there a way to modify the Last.fm artist art Thumbs code so that it auto-updates when the same stream's metadata changes, like what already happens with Last.fm Bio?

function on_playback_dynamic_info_track() {
	panel.item_focus_change();
}

function on_playback_dynamic_info_track(type) {
	if (type == 0) thumbs.playback_new_track();
}

Is there any way to retrieve the query string of an autoplaylist ? i didnt find any function in plman for that.

You can try opening the configuration window and looking for this...

Code: [Select]

function on_playback_dynamic_info_track() {
	panel.item_focus_change();
}

Replace it with...

Code: [Select]

function on_playback_dynamic_info_track(type) {
	if (type == 0) thumbs.playback_new_track();
}

You can still access panel properties by holding Shift+Win key before right clicking.

The stub image from the Preferences has never been supported in any smooth samples because they resize and cache album art to disk for performance reasons. This is not anything new.

If you really want it, you can change the false to true on this line of code...

https://github.com/jscript-panel/component/blob/1a3b1f8eb49bb1b7090b82f6442687e0e0bc9ec0/samples/smooth/common.js#L138

I might consider the combined image/bio in a single panel at some point.

Oh! I've been using one of Br3tt's versions that was doing that from way back to Kameleon days

That's what JSplaylist is baed on. It handles stub images with transparency because there is no caching. The component method for saving images to disk only writes jpg. It could be expanded to other formats but I really don't want to. It was never meant for quality, only speed.

Oh... I'd been synchronizing those js_smooth_cache album thumbs between builds on my PC and notebook. But while testing changing 'false' to  'true', I noticed 3 what look like indexing files with 10 digit file names. If I sync just the album jpgs between the 2 systems, is that going to screw anything up? 

Cached album art filenames are based on the path of the track its associated with. The paths would need to be identical on both systems for a "shared" cache to work. If the paths are different, it will ne no different to the script never seeing the track before and new cached files will be generated.
