Were you looking at this form of url: http://polling.bbc.co.uk/radio/realtime/bbc_6music.json by any chance? That gives track and artist info, but isn't updated if there is no track/artist actually playing - it only has valid information if the "realtime" name at the end of the .json file I use is set to "now_playing". I thought I might want to pick up track/artist from that url when available - but the url I've used gives 'track by artist' form of info anyway. So I kept it simple, and retained the separate line giving the overall programme name. I did start following where they got track artwork from, but didn't get very far. I also started looking deeper into the more detailed information for the whole programme with this type of url: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05nsdwf.json, just looking for programme artwork really. But the images are mostly just headshots of the presenter, and I wasn't that bothered about having those! Maybe something for a future update. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
