I really like a lot of these ideas! I think I'm going to try making several of these. I'm starting with a combination of and (I will look like the 2nd when everything is expanded).

This will hopefully be fixed in the next version of Mediaflow. Thanks

The main problem is that it uses canvas. On some linux systems there are issues where canvas (which is used to draw) is really slow. You can try what was said in this comment: http://blog.songbirdnest.com/2008/05/...

There was still a smaller search bug in MediaFlow if the filter panes were toggled. It should be fixed now though.

Thanks joe, it took me a little while to figure out what you were talking about, I was just being a little slow. I'll try and make some reflection adjustments for next time. I like the album you used to demonstrate that with too ;)

johnm replied on August 13, 2008 01:04 to the idea "Clearing album art" in Songbird:

Sorry about the confusion! Previous versions relied on the Album Art Manager extension. When that is installed a 'Clear Artwork' and 'Get Artwork' menu item shows up. The presence of those menus should have made the Remove item more clear. I'll rename it to remove album and try to have the Clear Artwork menu show up without the album art manager extension installed.

The no cover art image is provided by songbird, so that isn't something I will be messing with in mediaflow.

Well that's slightly less than what I get, around 60-80, keep in mind MediaFlow has more to draw than that test. I'm not really sure what I can do to fix anything for you, since it runs nice and smoothly for me. I'd look at updating your driver if you could, but that's all I can suggest. Sorry. I'll hopefully be adding a 3d version eventually which might render differently, but I don't think that will be happening very soon.

Can you open this site in songbird: http://glimr.rubyforge.org/cake/canva...

Do those animations appear choppy? They use the same technology MediaFlow uses.

What OS are you using? You mention using iTunes so it looks like windows or mac. I've seen this problem on linux, but not on a windows or mac. On linux I haven't been able to narrow it down(my linux machine died) but it was looking like an issue with the graphics drivers. MediaFlow currently uses canvas to draw. From what I understand Songbird(and Mozilla) use cairo to implement the gfx in canvas.
