Michael, a bunch of us are seeing a loading problem
Yeah, sorry.
However, I suspect that the new version loads as the first time I tried a browse by artist my system froze for a minute or two, then displayed some nice artist pictures.
Yes, the code running is the latest, but I forgot to bump the version number in the code. Which makes LMS believe you need another update.
Does the Music & Artist Info plugin (M&AIP) cache the artist pictures from session to session ? Or are they re-populated each time LMS starts
No, downloaded data is cached for at least 30 days.
Does the M&AIP have to re-populate the cache after a Clear & Re-scan ?
Yes. There are some pre-caching options in the plugin's settings. I'd strongly recommend using this option, as downloading dozens or hundreds of images on the fly can considerably slow down browsing, potentially leading to timeouts on the device.
Can the M&AIP save the artist pictures to the configured "Folder with Artist Photos" ? Which would then enable a user to replace a picture with a preferred one.
It currently doesn't do this automatically. But from the web UI you can easily save it in that folder.
Also, the plugin's settings only appear under the Settings/Advanced tab in Music and Artist information, would be good if the settings appeared on the plugin page.
That should be fixed in 0.6.1. -- Michael _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
