Hi Benjamin.
Super cool. Don’t change the display.. lots of reduced players have the buttons. If you have a party you just want the playlist loaded and people can change track with the scroller as it is.

I have same problem with artwork/album cover. It seems to try and find an album cover from the net again, rather than using the covers we have already installed ourselves. This often means lower quality, incorrect or no image. Since this is the main beauty of the plugin, it will be absolutely fantastic once this is done! Many thanks for your work!

@Ambrose
Thanks! I’ve created an issue for it, and I will try to implement keyboard short cuts soon.

Hi Benjamin,
Finally, I managed to change your plugin so that it meets my requirements: From web-radio stations transmitted title and artist info are now displayed and, if present at “a.” , a matching cover image is downloaded and displayed. If a title from a local folder on the hard drive is played, the programm also attempts to automatically download and save a missing cover art. The playlist is displayed with a “rolling basis”, ie the title prior to the currently playing title will be added to the end of the list, so that they may be assigned and played again. I increased the size of the written a little, but I am not sure that I have found the right place in the program code. All my supplement is safe to be far from perfect, but it works anyway. I would like to send you a copy of my current program version, for review and to improve the optics further but I am missing your e-mail address …
Many greetings
Joe

Hello Benjamin!
Because I could not find a rhythmbox connect-signal to detect a change in a web-radio-stream, I used the “gobject.timeout_add(3000, …) – function to control every 3 seconds whether the song has changed.
Now Your plugin works even for web-radio-stations!
I hope Your update for cover-art is comming soon. It would be great, if You could find a way to get a cover for songs played in web-radio, because in most cases, only the artist and songtitle is given. The album-information has to be added to find the cover, or even better, have a look on amazon… Input: artist and title, output: cover and album-info.
That’s all for now,
Joe

Great job Benjamin!
I love the style of Your plugin.
It would be cool to have even displayed artist and title from streaming (mp3) web-radio-stations!
I tried to modify Your plugin and could manage to read the ‘rb:stream-song-title’ and display the extracted artist and title,
but because of my little knowlege, I could not find a way to trigger the plugin to refresh the display in the case the streamed title changes…
Maybe You can help me ?
