Just a quick headsup on a few changes in xbmc that took place over the last few days.

These InfoLabels are deprecated and will be removed after the next release:

Code:

ListItem.Property(Born)
ListItem.Property(Died)
ListItem.Property(Formed)
ListItem.Property(Disbanded)
ListItem.Property(YearsActive)
ListItem.Property(Instruments)
ListItem.Property(Biography)
ListItem.Property(Moods)
ListItem.Property(Styles)

ListItem.Property(AlbumMoods)
ListItem.Property(AlbumStyles)
ListItem.Property(AlbumThemes)
ListItem.Property(AlbumType)
ListItem.Property(AlbumLabel)
ListItem.Property(AlbumReview)

They have been replaced with:

Code:

ListItem.Property(Artist_Born)
ListItem.Property(Artist_Died)
ListItem.Property(Artist_Formed)
ListItem.Property(Artist_Disbanded)
ListItem.Property(Artist_YearsActive)
ListItem.Property(Artist_Instrument)
ListItem.Property(Artist_Description)
ListItem.Property(Artist_Mood)
ListItem.Property(Artist_Style)
ListItem.Property(Artist_Genre)

ListItem.Property(Album_Mood)
ListItem.Property(Album_Style)
ListItem.Property(Album_Theme)
ListItem.Property(Album_Type)
ListItem.Property(Album_Label)
ListItem.Property(Album_Description)

The same info is now also available to the MusicPlayer:

Code:

MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Born)
MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Died)
MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Formed)
MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Disbanded)
MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_YearsActive)
MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Instrument)
MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Description)
MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Mood)
MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Style)
MusicPlayer.Property(Artist_Genre)

MusicPlayer.Property(Album_Mood)
MusicPlayer.Property(Album_Style)
MusicPlayer.Property(Album_Theme)
MusicPlayer.Property(Album_Type)
MusicPlayer.Property(Album_Label)
MusicPlayer.Property(Album_Description)

And last but not least, fanart of the currently playing artist:

Code:

MusicPlayer.Property(Fanart_Image)

You'll have to be running SVN r24295 or up to make use of this.

Thanks.

The album info is available only at the album level. It *may* be available to the container rather than the listitem.
