Hi Joel, The basic problem here is that MC does not let me know when anything changes, I have to constantly poll it with a timer and try to detect if anything changed. This proved very difficult to do with 'Playing Now' changes and is probably the cause of this problem. I did start a major rewrite of MC2Slim to take advantage of the promised 'event notifications' of MC12 but they never evolved to a usable level. I have a part working version that uses an 'event notification' to cause me to poll MC rather than using a timer, It's more efficient and more responsive but it's far from finished at then moment I'm afraid.
