iTunes 11.0.3 Album Art

I have two problems with 11.0.3

1) I am using DocArt(http://splook.com/Software/DockArt.html) to show the album art in the doc. It has been a trusty companion since iTunes 9 or so. It is now broken, it dosn't show the artwork unless I select Visualizer -> options... and simply click OK. But then the artwork dosn't update when the song changes. Too bad, I have really enjoyed this great software.

2) The revamped mini player looks great, I wish it was 100% usefull. Album art dosn't show for me. To be honest it hasn't worked since v11 came out anyway. I plug in my iPod to my MacBook using USB, then pay off the iPod directly. in previous versions of iTunes 11, the art didn't show in the miniplayer unless you clicked on the black 'empty' album icon to show the art preview. Alas, that dosn't work anymore, if you click on the artwork icon in the mini player it just shows a larger empty album artwork icon. if you select get info for the track playing, the artwork is clearly there.

Any fixes?

I've also met the problem1. in fact,if i want to let the dockart to show the album art, i must command+t,but in that case, the main interface can't be operated. In the last version of itunes,the dockart counld work even without cmd

+t. It might not be the mistakes of the osx progammar. when i use another itunes plug-in,named rtlbacklit,the albums art also can be shown without cmd+t……i wish the programmer of the dockart could fix the bug soon.

DockArt 2.2 is in the hands of several users as of this morning. Once they confirm for me that it's working (so far so good from the first few) I'll make it generally available on my site and MacUpdate.

pull RtlBacklit into the trashbin, may ask you to Input your password.

Then rebot itunes~

Yea! iTunes 11.1 fixed my issue. The mini player now shows album art for tracks being played from my iPod.

Thanks Apple.

Sigh. Yep, apparently Apple broke 3rd-party iTunes plugins again with the new version. I'll see what I can find; so far I've only seen other plugin authors note the breakage with no solution.
