[Not My Release] EsPlaylist Options

[Gapkiller]

Bug Report:

Latest esplaylist (00.7.1), foobar, columns ui.

When I drag a cover from es_playlist to ng playlist,
commands in context menu of ng playlist: remove,sort, etc.
are greyed out like i was using an auto playlist.
Restarting foobar solves the problem.
Can't reproduce it at any time, it happens not always.

Thank you for the new version and bigger artwork ! I really enjoy that !

Here are 2 screenshots for those who want to see how it looks




Really nice playlist that I love now use... Congratulations to the developer !

2 new things : Is it possible to copy to the clipboard some text like the title (without having to open the property box) ? Is it possible to change the speed when we scroll down ? (it is extremly slower compared to ngplaylist for me with my mouse, above all when you have a long list of albums !)

try foo_utils. It adds a context menu command for copying to the clipboard.

Is it possible to change the speed when we scroll down ? (it is extremly slower compared to ngplaylist for me with my mouse, above all when you have a long list of albums !)

1.) still alpha /prebeta.
2.) bigger album covers....

i use context / Copy names and it works in esplaylist till 0.6 (not sure about the version but it works in newest for sure). this command is hidden by default so you have to a) unhide it in preferences / display / context menu or b) set it to a hotkey in preferences / keyboard shurtcuts (in this case i strongly recommend to not use global hotkey for some crucial shortcuts like ctrl+c )

Minor bug that's yet to be fixed: It is currently impossible to paste playlist items into an empty playlist.

This issue now seems to be resolved, but the "Remove" command is broken

Helpful Bug (?): One Single Library Viewer Playlist for all Library viewers - Funny Behavior with different Library Viewer Playlists in DUI (with Facets, Album List and EsPlaylist)

On certain configurations the "Send to AutoSend Playlist"-Option messes foobars whole Library Viewer Playlists in DUI

As it it a little complicated to explain in a few words i suggest you reproduce it step by step (No panic, it is reversable!! ):

1. Check the "Browse Library" Option on an EsPlaylist-Panel

2. Uncheck all Library Viewers:
Options\Media Library\Library Viewer Selection Playlist\Disbled
Options\Media Library\Facets\Events\Selection Change\None
Options\Tools\EsPlaylist\Behavior\Browse Library Action\Selection Change\None

3. Activate Facets Playlist
Options\Media Library\Facets\Events\Selection Change\Send to the Facet Playlist

--> Facet Changes are shown in >Facet Playlist< as intended

4a. Activate EsPlaylist AutoSend Playlist
Options\Tools\EsPlaylist\Behavior\Browse Library Action\Selection Change\Send to AutoSend Playlist
and define a Playlist Name, e.g. >Whatever Playlist<

--> Facet Changes are shown in >Facet Playlist< as intended
--> EsPlaylist Changes are shown in >Whatever Playlist< as intended

5a. Activate Album List Library Viewer Selection Playlist
Options\Media Library\Library Viewer Selection Playlist\Enabled

--> Facet Changes are shown in >Facet Playlist< as intended
--> EsPlaylist Changes are shown in >Whatever Playlist< as intended
--> EsPlaylist Changes are NOW shown in >Facet Playlist< too [??????]
--> Album List Changes are NOW shown in >Facet Playlist< too instead of the intended >Library Viewer Selection< playlist [??????]

6a. Deactivate EsPlaylist AutoSend Playlist
Options\Tools\EsPlaylist\Behavior\Browse Library Action\Selection Change\None

--> result for Album List and Facets like in (5.)
--> EsPlaylist Changes are NOT shown in >Whatever Playlist< as intended
--> EsPlaylist Changes are STILL shown in >Facet Playlist< [??????]

VARIATION:
4b. / 5b. Activate Album List Library Viewer Selection Playlist (5a.) BEFORE EsPlaylist AutoSend Playlist (4a.)

--> Album List Changes are NOW shown in >Library Viewer Selection< playlist as intended
--> EsPlaylist Changes are shown in >Whatever Playlist< as intended
--> EsPlaylist Changes are NOW shown in >Library Viewer Selection< too [??????]

6b. Deactivate EsPlaylist AutoSend Playlist (like in 6a.)

--> EsPlaylist Changes are NOT shown in >Whatever Playlist< as intended
--> EsPlaylist Changes are STILL shown in >Library Viewer Selection< [??????] (comparable to 6a.)

To REVERSE the Bug you just have to uncheck all library viewer playlist

To AVOID the Bug you leave either EsPlaylists or Album Lists autosend playlist unchecked

By the way:
For me this is behavior is very helpful, as i do not want 3 different Library viewer playlists but only one.
(Though i would prefer if this SINGLE LIBRARY VIEWER could be labeled individually, but therefore Facets and AlbumList would have to give this opportunity)

-->@ ssenna: Just wanted to report the "Bug", but please do not change anything as it is very comfortable as you once understood it ;-)
or at least keep the extra-opportunity to use one single library viewer playlist with this unintended-extra- hack

[LXtreme]

hello,
I've noticed that EsPL does not support multiple values Fields, like genre.
genre 1 --> ok
genre 2 --> ok
genre 1; 2 --> shown "genre 1; 2" instead of being including in equivalent genre.

EsPlaylist really rocks! Thanks Ssenna :-)

I second kabuki's request:
It would be fantastic if there was multivalue-field support to browse the library by multivalue fields like genre, etc.

Now in beta with release of v0.0.8.0

Option for pseudo-transparent background added

[WilB]

I have one poblem that has persisted through a number of versions.

When import a new DUI theme file (fth), dynamic format information tends to disappear, e.g. on the first track change. This happens at least in flat view (fixed) but apparently not in layered view.

Has anybody a clue how "artwork:icon" in the grouping options is supposed to work?!
What icon is used there?!

I am looking for a way to assign a single picture for groupings like %rating%...

[Erich_2]

v0.0.8.0 beta:
I've changed the "Artist Name" of the first Album of an Artist, after ok the "Track Title" of all tracks disappeared. Only the Filenames where shown.
I tried to reproduce this event, but I couldn't up to now. It appears to be rarely. I'll watch that.
I've already reportet this at Post #35 with v0.0.5.2 aplha.

Now again:
Changing the "Artist Name" (from 'Black Crowes' to 'The Black Crowes') killed all the Track Titles of a CUE-Sheet!

It was the first thing I did after starting foobar and opening the new added Album.

What about other Playlist viewers(e.g. DefaultUI's Playlist View) ?
Esplaylist doesn't modify any cue-file directly.

# Edit: I had a missunderstanding.

I use CUI (Dark One) with ElPlaylist and NG Playlist too. With CUI mostly NG Playlist because of the bigger Covers – and that’s the reason why I love EsPlaylist. In DUI I used Foobar “standard playlist view” so far. Never happened such an event when changing TAGs.

I first had this problem with version 0.0.5.2 alpha. Changing the "Artist Name" in a MP3-TAG deleted the "Track Title" of all marked tracks of the Album. At that time I could reproduce it more than one time (but not always, it rather rarely happened). I thought it’s “alpha”, went back to CUI NG Playlist and had no problem further.

The next alpha-versions the problem seemed to be disappeared. Maybe situations where not the same. I use Foobar2000 very often a day, ripping CD’s or getting FLAC’s with wrong tagging, changing the TAGs very often until everything perfectly fits. The reported situation happened only with EsPlaylist, mostly just after the start of Foobar, when I did it as first or second action after the start (could be a luck).

From my report on till now every thing was ok when changing "Track Titles" and others with v0.0.8.0 beta. I’ve done "Track Title" changes about 50 times since then. I really don’t know what the cause was, the next time I will report again with a picture. And I hope to remind all the things I did before.

Again:

Changing Artist Name "Maurizio Pollini (Chopin)" to "Maurizio Pollini" caused deleting the track titles . I 've done that 5 times before today and about 10 times later without any problem.
@ssenna: I will change to "DefaultUI's Playlist View" to see if there is such a mistake there too. I'll report the next days about that.
Maybe it's a problem of another component. I will reinstall foobar2000 v.1.01 too. Let's see...

[ssenna]

Thank you for your reporting.

The thing EsPlaylist does is only sending the selected tracks to "Properties" command,
and EsPlaylist does not concern with editing TAGs.
Therefore, your problem is quite strange for me.

[Sixth Street]

I ESPlaylist in the beginning with little success of handling of embedded artwork. So I skipped the last 5 versions and came back and tested today and it handles my artwork perfectly!

I'm using it in one panel as vertical cover flow with large album art and in my playlist view for the facets selection (replacing the default playlist view) with small artwork. No more CUI envy any more!

Thanks ssenna!

Please, can't you share more info on your configuration?
Seems interesting...

Here's a screenshot of it with both ESPlaylist panels in view. I have a lot of stuff going on in this setup, so ignore the rest.



If anyone needs help configuring their ESP, I'll try to help. It's really fairly easy. I was screwing around in it for only about 5 minutes before I was able to figure out the things I wanted to do with it. This isn't anywhere near as complex as say ELP.

@ssenna and @all_foobar_users:
I’ve told you that the changing of the "Artist Name" deleted the "Track Title" of all marked tracks of the Album. See my messages #35, #87, #88, #91.
Now I can tell you:
EsPlaylist is DEFINITELY NOT GUILTY on this behaviour!

I’ve set up a naked new Foobar2000 v.1.0.1 – and it happened again! I was able to reproduce the manner this way:

1. Mark all songs of an Album in DUI Playlist View.
2. Add an “Album Artist” into the field
3. Safe the changes (OK)
4. Right afterwards change the “Artist Name” (delete a part oft it or add something at the end).
5. Safe the changes (OK)
6. Sometimes the "Track Titles" of all marked tracks are gone away and only the filenames or the CUE-sheet names are shown.

I’ll report this behaviour in the foobar support forum.

------------------
@forumadmins: PLEASE...
I’d like to change/edit/delete my entries in „[Not My Release] EsPlaylist”, but I’m not able to change them any more. It should not stay anymore, BECAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EsPlaylist! How can I do that? Would you please delete #35, #87, #88 and #91?

[Hottamale]

I'm lovingg EsPlaylist aswell!

One question though: is it possible to show the name of the folder below the cover art? If you understand what I mean? Right now I'm using %album artist% - %album% but not all my music is tagged correctly, my folders are though.

Let's say the folder path is: C:\Music\B\Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde and I would like to use "Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde" from the folder path, how do I do that? Or is it even possible?

v0.0.8.1 beta released

Added: glossy effect.(contextmenu->options->configure->gloss-effect for album art)

Fixed: information of the playing track disappeared after import DUI theme file

Thanks for the fix – it now works correctly

[WilB]

Hottamale

Try something like (not tested):

$if2([%album artist%][ - %album%],$directory(%path%,4))

Adjust the last number to the correct directory level if required. But its always best to have correctly tagged files…

[Keesface]

I'm looking for a way to only create subgroups (flat view) when an album has more than 1 disc. $ifgreater(%totaldiscs%,1,%discnumber%,) doesn't work (still shows subgroups for single cd albums), is there a way to do this now or will I have to wait for a future update?
