What's the problem?
And sorry for my English.

WebParser doesn't support dynamic variables yet. If you do that !WriteKeyValue, I guess you'll have to refresh the skin, not only update a measure. Also, I guess this is not all of the skin. The MeasureLastArt uses a variable #lastURL# that is not defined or used anywhere else in the ini file. If you want to know why only the art is working, I guess we need to know where that variable comes from.

#LastURL# is for art, all variables in #ROOTCONFIGPATH#/Variables.inc, #liURL# too
#liURL# look like: "liURL=http://www.lastfm.ru/music/Papa Roach"
lastURL="http://www.lastfm.ru/user/Rang3r"
How can skin refresh skin every 60 seconds for example, than MeasureLastInfo and MeasureLastLifeGroup will update too?

What you are trying to do is not an easy task, especially because WebParser doesn't support DynamicVariables yet. I know that some people here have managed to get around it, but I've not yet written any skin that does this, so I'll have to pass this to them.

Oh, i get it.
Anyway thanks for help.

You could use a simple Lua script to detect when the Artist changes, then refresh the skin:

Code: Select all

function Initialize()
	MeasureArtist = SKIN:GetMeasure('MeasureArtist')
	LastArtist    = SKIN:GetVariable('LastArtist')
end

function Update()
	CurrentArtist = MeasureArtist:GetStringValue()
	if CurrentArtist ~= LastArtist then
		SKIN:Bang('!WriteKeyValue', 'Variables', 'LastArtist', CurrentArtist)
		SKIN:Bang('!Refresh')
	end
end

Then use the #LastArtist# variable in the URL for [MeasureLastInfo].

Code: Select all

Url=http://www.lastfm.ru/music/#LastArtist#
