Hi, first of all I would like to say thanks for AS, really nice, it adds a lot to the experience of listening to the music.

I'm trying to use it in a music visualization screen and mostly it works like a charm... I'm using the options that you put in your wiki...

Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.%d.SimilarName)
Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.%d.SimilarThumb)

Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.%d.AlbumName)
Window(Visualisation).Property(ArtistSlideshow.%d.AlbumThumb)

...to get the names and thumbs. Similar artists works perfectly. Discography is getting a bit awkward though, I mean, with most artist it works well, but not so with others.

SNIP

I have found that AlbumName always returns the names, but the problem is AlbumThumb (only with certains artist, not all of them). Not sure whether you could do something about... thanks anyway...

The album and artist thumbs are downloaded from theaudiodb.com. If they don't have one for an album or artist, you won't see one. I spot checked a few of your examples, and in each case the thing was empty because there is nothing on theaudiodb.com for it. That site does take user submissions, so the best way to fix your problem is to find the artwork you need and upload it. Then everyone benefits. The second best way is to look at the override .nfo files. That would allow you to have local artwork for the things that don't have stuff in theaudiodb.com. But I think the latter would take longer, and you'd be the only one who benefits.

Ok. Thank you, now I understand. My issue is that I'm coding a Music Visualization screen; my aim is to provide similar artists and discography information and their corresponding images while the song is playing. With similar artists there's no problem; would there be any way to get discography work in the same way? I mean, that AlbumName.1 and AlbumThumb.1 (and so on) only returned results if both had any content...

Sorry if I'm asking for too much...

Thank you...
