Request for discussion: Cover art expand to fill space in PN
« on: August 23, 2006, 12:40:58 pm »

I have cover art of varying sizes.  My thought is it would be better if it auto-expanded to fill the playing now space.  if the art was really small it might look bad, but most of mine is at least reasonable.

It's a minor point.

In my opinion, your best bet is doing that by using a Track Info plug-in configured in that way.

Thanks for the pointer, to be honest I have never played with the Track Info plugin!

Well, there are a few of them that are included as stock with your MC installation. If you know some html you can easily modify them to better suit your needs.

Do you think its possible to have a 2 x 2 inch spot for the Cover Art (always) and a 4 x 6 or larger spot for the Playing Now display, which for me would be a slide show of images?  Probably not.

I'm looking at one called DJ2 and it shows a visualization and an album cover.  I would like to replace the visualization with Image slide show.  Here is what the HTML has for th Vis, but its pretty obscure.


      <p align="center">
            <object classid="clsid:CE5BC8B7-ACDF-4118-B22A-DE0D5B73270A" id="MJVisEngine1" data="DATA:application/x-oleobject;BASE64,t8hbzt+sGEGyKt4NW3MnCgADAABWCgAAVgoAAA==" width="279" height="239">
            </object>


It would be cool to be able to show the Display window and a cover art.

I'm afraid that my knowledge of this stuff is very limited, but I would say that what you want to achieve is not possible. Anyway, let's hope that any of the html gurus here can give you a hint on that.
