I just recently installed it, and I love it too. But I have a question. I have quite a few tracks with multiple artist tags. What does the plugin do in this case, just take one at random? I suspect it may be doing more than that, since it usually comes up with the singer.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Biography plugin problem when launched from Spotify track
Not quite there yet, I'm afraid... On the sb controller, if I have a spotify track playing, press "+" and select biography, I now get the "read biography" entry (I didn't with version 2.9.0 so that's a step in the right direction), but none of the other entries (like "artist photos" etc). When I select "read biography" nothing happens. Server log says: [10-09-22 06:40:08.8768] Slim::Control::Request::execute (1945) Error: While trying to run function coderef [Plugins::Biography::Plugin::cliQuery]: [What string to format? at Plugins/Biography/Plugin.pm line 1311 ] But here's the interesting part; If I go to the SBS web ui and select biography (which by the way works fine), and then retry the operation on the sb controller, the biography is displayed correctly. It's almost as if the data has to be cached first. But that isn't quite true either because if I do this with another artist and then go back to the first one, the issue is still there (until I fetch the biography from the web ui). Please let me know if there's any more information I can provide. Ideally, I would like to be able to access all the biography entries (photos, see also, followers, influenced by etc) from the track details menu of a spotify track. Spotify has its own biographies but it's not nearly as comprehensive as your plugin. - Björn -- bjohol bjohol's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40476 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80764 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I seem to have the same problem.
In the SBS web ui it works fine, but on my controller i get the
spinning wheel and nothing happens.
Same message in server log as previously posted by Erland.
Plugin does work on controller with library material, only not with
spotify tracks.
Running SBS Version: 7.5.1 - r30836 on Windows Home Server with
receiver/controller at 7.5.1 r9009. Biography plugin v2.9.0, Spotify
1.0.5, latest MHCPAN modules in the plugins folder.
Not sure what to make of your reply, does it mean it will be fixed in
2.9.1, or that 2.9.1 is already released ('cause I can't find it)?

Both mherger(Biography) and Triode(Spotify) monitors this forum
section, so I'm sure one of them will respond when they have thought
about it. This has also been discussed in a bit bigger scope in several
other threads. So I would just suggest that you wait a month or two and
remind us if you still haven't got an answer.
If you are interested in this kind of functionallity you might also
want to take some time and contribute to the following thread, read the
questions in the first post in this thread and post you answers.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Biography plugin - can't find Mozart?
Oh, don't get me wrong, I appreciate very much all that you do for this software - thank you. It's just that I found this strange. And, after checking it at their site, yes, string Mozart returns a lot of %Moz%art% crap, including a full name, but not a single reference to just 'Mozart'. In my library, I didn't see a need to include anything else, other than 'Mozart' in my artist tags.

Is it "Mozart", "Amadeus Mozart", "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart"? Go enter "Mozart" at allmusic.com's web site: the plugin has to "guess" from the resulting list which one to take. Sometimes it succeeds, sometimes it does not. The more popular a name is, the more variances of it exist.

Anyone knows of an easy fix for this? Or should we just wait and see?
Could you please give this version a try? Rename it to Plugin.pm and move
it to the Plugin/Biography folder. Then restart your server.
I can't test thoroughly right now as I'm on my laptop without my music
collection at hand. If you could give me a thumbs up I'd upload a new
release. Thanks for the feedback!
