Sweet! Looks good.. well, almost Wink My artist/time information doesn't seem to be using the right font/size.. which is odd, because I checked your xml and I see it's using Font_BigTime for that information, and that DOES exist in my Fonts.xml and the appropriate ttf is in my fonts folder.. and my Aeon is set to use the standard font set.. I'm using the latest version of Hitched.. any idea why that might be?

Also, I need your black_bg.png Smile

Thanks!! Really nice work!

AH! Apparently at some point in the past I applied this MOD: HERE which is where those modified fonts and black_bg came from!

Looks like to make this viable I need to zip the whole thing up to work.
I'll make a full zip sometime today, but in the meantime, you can use the media files out of reaven's excellent mod.

Whats wrong with CHEESY :p Like the look you have there can I ask where its pulling the fanart from is it from the album folder ?

Nothing wrong at ALL with cheesy, just decided it wasn't quite clean enough for what I was going for Big Grin

Its pulling the fanart from the same source as AEON... so whatever you have set up for the menu backgrounds. I also put a thing in that *SHOULD* pull fanart if it exists in the artists folder, but I don't use this much so I'm not 100% positive that its working.

Not sure how much more of a problem this would be, but it would be cool to throw some user stats from the scrobbler in there as well, with an option.

Not scrobler data but you could do a script which could fill up the now playing view with data (like the recently added script). So if Dropkick murphy's is playing you could do via the script:
http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method...b7b2e0a026
And there you get alot of information.

Oh, now there's a nice idea! I wonder if anyone with some Python skills would be willing to take this on? Really just needs to be able pull Artist, Album, Song info based on arguments passed...

Maybe its time for me to learn python?Oo

I would very much like to see MusicPlayer.(Biography) be available in the Vis window to show the Artist's Biography

Currently there is only ListItem.Property(Biography)


ronie Wrote:many skins already show the album cover and a certain amount of info alongside the visualization. also note, some things you're looking for are not possible,
for instance displaying artist biography or album review. those things are not available to the skin in the MusicVisualisation window.

a list of things that can be done, is available here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=InfoLabels
only the MusicPlayer.* and Player.* infolabels are available on the MusicVisualisation screen.
