Thank you for this great addon! I was using the last.fm slideshow plugin, but this is far more convenient!

I have one question though: in the last.fm slideshow plugin you could set the display picture time and pan and zoom options via the pictures settings.

These settings do not work in this addon. Is it possible to set the display picture time and pan and zoom options somewhere?

I would like to have no pan and zooming and display time of 20 seconds Smile

with this addon, these things are controlled by the skin.
most skins will have an option to disable the pan & zoom effects.

as for the time per image, it can only be adjusted by modding the skin.
see the example on the first post, what you need to alter is:
<timeperimage>20000</timeperimage>

Ronie,

I checked the thread for answers....but to no avail.

Does this addon work with the ATV2?

hmm, i don't know,
but i don't see any reason why it shouldn't.

Looks like it installed just fine, but the purpose for using it was to see if it would compliment the Pandora Addon, but it doesn't seem to play nice together... oh well. Sad

Ronie, thanks for add new resources, there are one way to set language for bio, because this ok when done by scraper lastfm config, this is great for other languages, distinct english, i hope you add in this great addon..
and I have one trouble with similar artists (the script is get similar "name" artist, not others artists with similar style music), look this please...

Thanks againNod
