Hi, First of all, I absolutely love the artist images that come through the Music & Artist Information plugin. They add so much more richness to browsing your music and make it such a better experience.
>From the settings panel of this plugin I can see that performance is a major concern and I am getting varied result myself when browsing artists. Sometimes they come in as quickly as you would hope (and I guess they are retrieved from cache at the time) and sometimes the server would hang at certain artist images and block for roughly 5-10 seconds or sometimes a placeholder image comes through where previously an image was returned. The latter only happens in instances where I am not connected to the internet while browsing, but was connected during scans. Is there anything I can do to speed up the artist image retrieval? To add more context, I am displaying the artist images in my Windows Universal App and currently I am applying the following resizing to those images: http://localhost:9000/imageproxy/mai/artist/4572/image_100x100_f.png. I am showing them in a list view which fetches roughly 20-30 images at a time. Ideally, I would like all artist images to be retrieved from online sources only during scans and then stored locally (maybe that is actually already happening) and only retrieved from local storage. If an image is not available a placeholder image should be returned. Is this how the plugin already works or is this something that could be added as an option? I played with the settings panel of the plugin, but could not find a setting that would always return all images quickly, but maybe I am not using the correct settings. Album images, by the way, come back from the server very quickly. Any insight into this would be very much appreciated. Maybe it is just a way I need to configure my local LMS. Also, I am using the latest LMS 7.9 and the latest Music & Artist Information plugin. Good work, really! Best wishes, Marc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marc Bartsch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106508 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
