The BBC station logo are square but all programme images are rectangular - go figure ! IIRC dimensions are usually multiple/fractions of 640x480

It seems to be consistent. Detailed program information comes from two sources. BBC "Polling" and a RadioPlayer. LMS UI has 3 text fields - Track, Artist and Album. For streaming live radio, the BBC program info (Station, Program series title, Episode details and description) have to be mapped into the 3 fields. So in your case "Jazz Record Requests" is the Program Series title and putinto the UI's "track" field. Program description which is usually episode/broadcast specific is put in the UI's "album" field which is "Recordings by Lester Young, George Shearing and Miles Davis." It can be quite long. The currently playing track info is put into the UI's "artist" field - the track info as supplied by Polling and Radioplayer response is typically formatted as "track title by artist name" so this would match to "The Wolf That Lives in Lindsey by Joni Mitchell". IF teh user has paused a station or has skipped back the plugin will changes the data and not show "Now" track as program is delayed. In this case the plugin will show as Track the station name followed by something like "delayed by x mins". In your case this is not seen so the issue is not due to delay. However the "now" information is not always an " track by artist" type info. There is no code in the plugin to create info such as "Jazz Record Requests : 09/03/2019" - this comes from the program info BBC "Polling" website. When a broadcast program is between tracks or BBC is not providing "now" program information (this happens late at night usually after 11.00pm) then the format shown appears. While this can explain two different layout - it does not require changing the check box. I have not been able to replicate your experience when toggling "always display station" box. I need to try a few late night and other R3 programs as there are special cases when the plugin uses alternates when a data field from the "Polling" or RadioPlayer is empty and I wonder if there is some special case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
