6.5 uses cookies for all skins when tracking the current player.
hopefully this means I'm no longer alone at trying to support it and it
results in a more stable solution. i've also spent a lot more time
with 6.5 trying to make sure accidents don't happen. if you have a
reproducable case, let me know.
Totally reproducible in 6.3, do you want to see those or only 6.5?

Fishbone shares some of the ajax code for the now playing status in
6.5. That is probably as far as I'll go, thanks mostly to IE and its
ability to make me want to kill every living thing I see when trying to
make anything work outside of plain old html. Even v7 beta isn't
showing signs of anything that gives me hope.

I hear you, I've done a little bit of _javascript_ development too. Wrote it with Firefox and Venkman, it completely failed in Opera and MSIE. I was able to get a single version to work for Opera and all Mozilla branches, but nothing could be done for MSIE, I had to do a browser detection and branch into alternate code in order to maintain state and read variables. GAH!!!
