G-Force Gold Not Showing Album Art

Post by venusstar »

I am currently running G-Force Gold and I love it. I am also using Windows Media Player 9. When I start to play a sound track only the Artist and Song Title appear on the screen, not the album art. When I switch to a different visualization the album does appear on the right-hand side of the screen. But when I switch back to G-Force only the Artist and Song Title appear. Can anyone help me out, it sure would be appreciated.

Thanks. 8)

It's not clear why this is happening. The method that GF uses to get cover art in WMP is what's described in their SDK. I know for a fact that in WMP 10, when you edit a track's graphic properties (and add an image there), it will show up.

As for your post, what other visualizer(s) show cover art? Where/how does it show? (ie, are you sure it's the plugin showing it and not WMP?) Before WMP 10 came out, MS kept the ability for plugins to get cover art closed.
