Hi folks,

I wanted to modify my favourite skin (Quartz) to show the Composer in FullScreen playback. When I add MusicPlayer.Propery(Role.Composer) it returns nothing. I just tested with 17.6 and it works. With 18.0 Alpha 3 and later it fails. I had it to work earlier with Leia (pre-Alpha) and there it was OK, but not anymore.

Has this InfoLabel gone away or is it a bug?

Same behavior with 19 Nightly Build

Sounds like a bug, this should be working. I don't think a debug log will show much, so no rush there. What would help me is a simple skin mod to the player OSD to allow me to test what is happening in core code (skinning is not my thing)

What I did was to modify MusicVisualization.xml and a bit down i the code replace MusiPlayer.Artist with MusicPlayer.Property(Role.Composer).

And, as I said, it used to work :-)

This was just for testing with Estuary

Thanks for reporting this @JanneT , a fix has been raised https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/16784 and will be backported to v18 in due course.

Just tested with Matrix nightly, and it works as expected. I also added an Icon to the FullScreen layout that shows 'HD' if the music >16bits and >44.1 kHz Sample Rate.

Dave, are BitsPerSample and SampleRate stored in the DB somewhere when the music files are scanned? Or are theyjust available at playback?

It would be nice to add the "HD" icon when browsing through the Albums or Songs. Just the way Movies are listed.

I tried that but it crashed for some reason. Will test again later today
