Thanks for replying, i've set screen switcher when players are disabled so images begin to appear when music is off. So it shouldn't be a problem for streaming. Do you agree? Anyway i love these plugins and i keep on using them. I've set images from lastfm, album covers and facebook pics. I hope my nas cpu will stand all this... -- nervoteso Touchx2,Boomx2,1 Classic!Squeezebox Server 7.7.2 (Qnap ts-119) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nervoteso's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30262 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94398 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
