Since 3.7.0, images are left untouched because the script only loads one image in memory at once (strictly speaking 2 - the other being the same image cloned and blurred for the background).

Previous versions loaded all images in a given folder at once which is quite inefficient although mostly harmless for last.fm's mostly low quality images. It could be problematic on higher quality custom images.

I guess it was unexpected by me that people would be using stream artists to display local images. The existing code only refreshed album art when new album art is provided by the stream and that would be front only.

To workaround it for now, right click the panel>Configure.

Replace the existing on_playback_dynamic_info_track function with this...

Code: [Select]

function on_playback_dynamic_info_track(type) {
	if (type == 0)
		text.metadb_changed();
	}
	
	if (text.properties.albumart.enabled || text.properties.layout.value > 0)
		albumart.metadb_changed();
	}
}

function on_playback_dynamic_info_track(type) {
	if (type == 0)
		text.metadb_changed();
	if (text.properties.albumart.enabled || text.properties.layout.value > 0)
		albumart.metadb_changed();
}

I had a total brain fart when I posted. This will never work using the album art APIs I use from the SDK.

Classic marc... but no, to be fair that's fine. it's his baby after all; he can do whatever.

3.8.5 has been restored as the last version here...

It is over and I am done.

Thanks... not a day too soon.
