Hi! Really thanks for this one.

Works perfect.

Only thing I noticed, on foreign characters it will show some weird characters (seems it show two weird characters for every foreign symbol) instead of the actual one. Not sure if this can be fixed.

Thanks

Not sure why was logged as guest. Well, who knows

With foreign character I mean á, é, for example.

I found a small bug maybe?

When playing "a-ha - take on me" (dont judge me lol)

I get on artist name "a"

And song name "ha"

Probably the - is causing the problem.

Indeed, thanks for pointing that out! No judging here, that's a classic tune!

Here's an updated version that should fix that issue. (Not the character issue yet though unfortunately, I'll look into that at some point)

Hi, yes, a classic!

Will try the new version as soon as i get home.

Foreign character problem could be related on how the plugin was built? Maybe something to do with utf-8 support?

Thanks

No worries!

And yes, it is indeed something to do with the character encoding, I'm still trying to figure it out but will let you know when I get around to it next and I end up solving it.

Hi, thanks. I f you need some testing, just ask

Maybe it's the way spotify handles the utf encoding. Or on the plugin side. You will know better

Hi! How are you?

Been using the plugin for a couple of weeks. Works really great.

Sometimes I get "nothing" on screen when the first song of a playlist starts, but hitting stop and play usually solve this. Or just skipping to next track. Not really important.

Did you had some time to check the foreign character thing? On some french song names I get really weird characters

Thanks.

Thanks again for the Spotify Plugin. I thought you might get a kick out of the custom LCD I built using it. Combined 5 inch HDMI LCD, LCDSmartie, VirtualLCD Display, SPCV2 for the Equalizer, and spotify2lcd for scrolling song. Works great!

One ask, can you change it to just no text instead of the word "Nothing" when nothing is playing or make that configurable in an ini or variable in the parameters?

[trihy]

Been using this plugin for many months. Still works great besides the foreign character problem.



It should say "Más" instead of those symbols.

-----

Also found that when there is more than one artist, separated by " , " it will only show the first one.

Just reporting, but guess dev is not around here anymore.

Thanks

Hi guys, It's been a very very long time since I done anything with this plugin or LCDSmartie in general but as its still getting some use and downloads in the next few weeks ill see if I can dig out the old files somewhere (if I still have them that is) and see what can be done about some of the bugs and requested features.

Hi! Thanks for your answer. Not too much people here, but saw on your web that has more than 300 downloads. Pretty amazing for lcdsmartie.

If you need some testing, I could try.
