[Feature Request] Pull SoundCloud album art and show it while playing #140

Closed FranciscoG closed 8 years ago

FranciscoG commented 8 years ago

when playing a song off of soundcloud, use the album art (if it exists) instead of a generic DT logo. I know it exists in their API.

I wish plug had done this, and I would like it if dubtrack did this, too. The main argument against it is that image quality isnt always the best, but I don't think it's that big of a deal and would be better than seeing the secondary (primary? i'm still baffled over the two different logos) dubtrack logo on the screen.

I began working on this myself and the results aren't pretty: http://prntscr.com/91jsso. I even tried making the image centre itself as a 128px*128px size but you could still see the pixels. :crying_cat_face:

Disregard, I figured out changing -large to -original on the end of the URL loads a high-res version of the artwork.

@swordling There's also a -t500x500 version, and a -crop version that is 400x400

Since the images are square what about centering it in the video window instead of stretching it to fit it? Just put black space or maybe an interesting pattern in the background?

This is a thing!
