---+!! !PictureFlow Plugin

%TOC%

---++ Description

!PictureFlow is a plugin that provides a nice visualization of the albums with their associated cover art. Since r21143, it took a few steps away from just a visualization, and is since then able to start and control playback.

It is based on code from [[http://code.google.com/p/pictureflow/]], and uses the DataBase and AlbumArt features of Rockbox.

---++ Requirements

   * The main buffer is used, which means unless the size of the playing tracks is small and/or the RAM of your player is large, you'll have to stop playback.
   * The DataBase needs to be initialised in order to find the albums.

---++ Known issues

   * Smaller images break the illusion of sliding on a black reflective surface, as they are placed higher than the rest.
   * Quickly moving towards the opposite direction while the animation is running causes Pictureflow to interrupt the animation in a choppy and unexpected weird way.
   * The album index can get confused pretty quickly (e.g. by updating the databse), causing covers to not match the corresponding album.
