Just playing with the latest nightly (12 Jan) and noticed some
improvements with the icons display. I'm sure someone is working on
this at the moment, but heres a few of my observations...


Under internet radio:

When I select a RadioIO feed the icon appears in the right hand panel
and larger in the now playing bar - this looks great.

All the others (Staff Picks, Ratio Time, SHOUTcast, AlienBBC) don't do
this, they just display the radio transmission tower icon. - can these
show their icons like RadioIO?

(I don't subscribe to Live365 so can't check it)


Under Music Services:

Live Music Archive - displays the Live Music Archive icon in the RH
panel & now playing - great

(I don't subscribe to Pandora, Rhapsody, Slacker or MP3tunes Music
Locker so can't check them)


Under Extras:

Information Browser displays the logo from the information source (BBC,
CNET, NY Times etc...) but as a square image, this looks a bit iffy if
the original is rectangular, have a look at: "Home > Information
Browser  > NYT > NYTimes.com Home"

Sounds & Effects display the bird icon in the RH Panel & Now Playing -
nice.

Podcasts look good, when I add a feed URL to SqueezeCenter (e.g.
http://leoville.tv/podcasts/twit.xml ) it now displays the podcasts
artwork in a similar way as album art for all the available shows. (I'm
assuming it gets this information from the itunes:image) - but it still
only shows the radio transmission tower icon in the RH panel & now
playing. It would be nice to use the shows artwork when its available.


I hope this helps the developers, as I noticed nobody else has posted
on the subject.

(For reference, if it makes any difference,  my SqueezeCenter is
running under Linux and accessed remotely with Firefox on a PC)

Mick.
