Title: Show artist-related photos while playing
Post by: jplumey on May 26, 2004, 03:08:21 pm

I'm looking for a way to show images pertaining to an artist during playback when I select a song. What I have done in my library is to set up Images tagged with the name of the Artist as Name and an album name of Images. I would like to be able to have a display plug-in that will load all of these images (if they exist) and play them in a slideshow while the song(s) are playing.

My C++ is very rusty, or I would start a new project. Has anyone done this before?

TIA

theres a slide show plugin that basically does this. i cant remember where to download it from at the moment (anyone???) but it would basically check the artist name on the internet and play a slideshow of relevant pictures - its very cool, so lets just hope someone gives the link...

I guess the requests are sort of similar. I'm hoping someone knows where to get a hold of the slideshow plugin.
