Hi,
First off i'd like to say Great plug-in. I have been looking for a method to control my whole home audio and lighting system via one interface. I have tried a bunch of android apps and tried to use xbmc web-interface and such to try and accommodate this. Homeseer and your iTunes plug-in seems to be the most promising solution so far.
There are a few features i've come across along the way that I have grown attached to and was wondering if they'd be possible to integrate into your plug-in.
1) iTunes radio. Its not the greatest source of online music, but it is a nice feature to have included. I have seen a few android apps that are able to access this though their itunes remote.
2) Album art for album library. In xbmc's web interface, when you select artists, the list is compiled and shows the album art for said album. So far, I have only seen text feedback for your album library. Would it be possible to add album art to the library display?
3) Artist fanart. In a custom skin for xbmc's web interface, there was one that would download fanart of the artist and use that to display when you are in your artist library. Since itunes does not store artist fanart, I'm sure this feature is not possible, but I thought I would ask.
Thanks in advance for all your efforts, even if none of these features are possible.

1) Should not be too difficult to add Radios, I will have a look
2 & 3) The web player I have implemented was supposed to be a short term solution to browse iTunes library, the long term solution being the Media API which will give a more native integration with HSTouch. So I don't want to invest too much time in fancy features but I will have a look and see how difficult it is to implement.
You also mentioned in the email you sent me that you wanted a dark background for the web player. It's already possible to change the background color, add this parameter to the url: bgcolor=RRGGBB
where RRGGBB is the RGB hexadecimal value of the color

Spud,
No worries about 2&3 if they will be available in the future through the Media api. It will be better when it is fully configurable any way.
Thanks for looking into #1. That would be a nice added feature.
Bground=000000 works great man.
Thanks so much

Spud,
Is there any way to change the size ofthe player? The tablet I want to control from will be in portrait orientation, and when the player opens, aportion of the right side is off the screen.
Thanks

You can control volume in an event using the "Control a device" action. Select an iTunes speaker device and then you can set the volume to a specific % or increment/decrement using +/-

Would it be possible to save the album artwork as a constant image file? I am going to set up a windows tablet and alas there is no iTunes remote app that can run on the desktop but the skinning software (Rainmeter) can load from a URL. I can pull the artist, song etc from the device using RESTful or JSON but the image file seems to keep changing every time the track changes (i.e. cover1, cover 2, etc)
