Hi Pippin, I see you have been getting a bit bombarded of late! :) But I was wondering of you had a moment to comment on the issue in iPeng with Now Playing not displaying multiple artist names (when present), I've had a bit of a browse/search but can't see if what I'm thinking has been raised previously?
I was wondering if as a work around whether there's a way to switch that <artist> field to <album artist> instead, solely in iPeng clients? Is there a switch setting in iPeng? I think you can change this in LMS right (although I haven't double checked for sure)? But that's global so will affect other clients (e.g. Web Browsers) as well, which do display multi-artist names OK... In my library I always have the album artist as a single name (e.g. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), while my artist field will have multiple entries (e.g. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers; Tom Petty; The Heartbreakers; plus any other individual band members I have other albums for, and/or any guest artists on individual tracks). So displaying <album artist> instead of <artist> would be a usable work around that would display meaningful information in Now Playing. P.S. On a different tangent (probably telling you how to suck eggs here but) have you thought of writing something to strip the semi-colons out of the string to turn it into a single value (e.g. replace ; with , or such like)? Many TIA. :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - Pleezz x-use thhh bed spellng! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mycenius's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
