getting an image to appear with streaming audio

I'm attempting my first simple app. I'm streaming audio and it's working perfectly. I would like to have an image appear with each track while it's streaming instead of seeing the QuickTime logo. I could work around by streaming a video of a still shot and the audio, but I'm interested in saving bandwidth. I've tried to study the adding files to an app section, but I'm green and going to need it spelled out. Thanks

Hi Intone, Have you tried setting the background image in the advanced properties section of that streaming audio plugin?

Fred, Starting with iOS, I don't know what Buzztouch version, but I'm new new so I would say current. would like to develop Android too but one thing at a time. Parker, I used the drop down menu in Buzztouch "I want to add streaming audio" and provided the link there. I don't see any advanced properties. I'm looking for the simple feel of Pandora only for just 10 tracks. Thanks again.

This is the suggestion in the app..... Displaying images with your music or podcasts is easy. To do this, use iMovie or other media editing software to create a simple movie containing one still image (your album art) and one sound file (your song or podcast). Export your movie as a .MOV file. Finally, use the Streaming Video screen instead of this screen. I can accomplish this easily enough, I feel it would require greater bandwidth to function. Im not sure the server I'm using accepts anything but MP3's.

You're using BTv2.0 if I'm not mistaken. Always post version and iOS vs Android answers will vary accordingly. For images you'll need to use an HTML Player. Or perhaps, create an new Plugin. Need help, start the project invite others and a few will join. Many are interested in seeing this done. Fred
