"Album Cover" attributes

[Bee-liever]

1. Does the "aspectRatio" attribute work with AlbumCover element ? (and if no, can it be enabled?)

2. Is it possible to have the album art rotation from "Now Playing" available in Embedded Theater mode?

1. it always keeps the aspect ratio - are you looking to stretch it to a square?
2. if its not already done (thought it was) then i will add that

I was trying to map Album Art to a scaling autohide panel and have the albumcover stay centered in that panel. Just like you can with the Gallery element

  <autoHide name="#CoverPanel" xAnchor="HL2.Left" x="1" y="15" widthDock="X:Panel.Right" width="-5" heightDock="Panel" height="-20" bg="0,0,0,0" allowPinning="false" resizePictures="false" >
    <element type="AlbumCover" xAnchor="#CoverPanel.Left" x="20" y="17" widthDock="X:#CoverPanel.Right" width="-10" heightDock="Y:#CoverPanel.Bottom" height="0" min="200" max="400" fillColor="0,0,0,0" brightness="1.0" ></element>
  </autoHide>

would you be able to send me the skin file?

[Bee-liever]

Oops. Sorry, sent link in PM earlier 

[Steven]

for embedded skins it now respects the aspectRatio setting which by default is "Keep", so you will now get it centering by default.
its in the next update

for embedded skins

I see now that I left that important bit out of my original post. 

[Bee-liever]

tested and works fine if kept small



if the panel is dragged up to enlarge, AlbumCover ignores min/max settings and doesn't respect panel size limitations

[Steven]

this should apply the min/max rules for this scenario:
