Hi, I need your kind support.
I am using the latest version of kodi 18.9, AS 3 and a modified Estuary skin by me.
the AS is working fine with my offline music library, and i can see artists' photos in the background, but not when streaming radio music.

My steaming radio parameters are as follows:
$INFO[MusicPlayer.ChannelName] -> RADIO STATION NAME which can be changed on the .ps streaming file.
$INFO[MusicPlayer.Title] -> ARTISTNAME - ALBUM received automatically from the provider as the stream plays.

The AS plugin is reading the radio station name (MusicPlayer.ChannelName), so it is downloading 0 pictures every time.
Is there any programming way to fix this?
thanks!

AS uses a Python call to get the title of the playing song:

xbmc.Player().getMusicInfoTag().getTitle()

That is populated by Kodi core when a song starts playing, and I'm not 100% sure where the logic is for that, but I do know it isn't related to the info labels in the skin (i.e. it gets set well before the skin gets involved). So short of compiling a custom version of Kodi core or somehow rewriting the stream header, I don't think there's any way to fix that.
