Here's one - but I'm not sure it's a problem with your software.

I have one setup for Mercia FM (for example, but it does it with others). When it luanches the 'play screen' the radio station plays but some of the text overlaps. It's as if the radio station is sending 2 lines of information and they overlap. For stations that only send one line (e.g. Touch FM) there is no problem. These are not the lines I've entered - they seem to be reported by the radio station itself.

In the play screen, it would be nice if the logo jpg was displayed instead of a blank box. Is this possible?

Any ideas?

I would love to do that but the image show there it comes if the stream have a valid metadata attribute with it, so i cant modify that any way the metadata suppose to show the currently playing song metadata, so I imagine this could only work with digital radio station responsible enough to add that kind of info.

 and believe me thats one of the things I want it to add, a custom "album art" for each station but i couldn't .

can you post the station you said you have problem with it.

Hi again,

For the ovelapping problem, over half the stations I use have this problem. Here's one - Mercia FM:

http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/V1/Playlist.asx?show=50

Sometimes, when I go to the station for the first time after starting VMC, it displays correctly. Thereafter, it looks like the second line of info retrieved from the station is displayed too high, overlapping with the first line. Like I said, any station that returns 2 lines of info exhibits the same behaviour for me. I've tested this on two different PCs with two different displays - same problem.

I've attached some pictures of the problem:

Hope this helps.

Regards

been playing for like 20 min nothing strange to me

.

ok now I see what you mean, i play the station if i hit the same station again like reloading the same station it occurs weird because the info that seems double doesnt come from the data i enter in my application  also any of my other stations do that i try to relunch every one of them and nothings maybe is something with the station data that is sending.

Thanks for the app, but it's not working for me for some reason.  I created a station (I think I did this right...the program said "station created succesfully"), but when I went into VMC it doesn't show up.
