Hello, I dont know if I should report this to the dynamic theme author or here but my subconcious made me post here [I think that there may be a way to change a codec name].... My problem is that, using dynamic theme, everything works fine EXCEPT when playing Windows Media Audio files (well, adding them to the playlist).

It's hard to explain, but anyway here's a diagram:

--------|Author|--------
|Codec| Album
| kbps| Year + Genre
--------- Comment

Well, with FLAC and Mp3s, Codec is replaced by the respective name (MP3)... anythings are 3 letters beside FLAC, which is 4 but it still looks good, my problem is that WM Audio is reported as:
Windows Media Audio V7/V8

*So* this takes 25 characters, and *fuks* up the thing...

What I would like to do is the following:
-Changing the Windows Media Audio V7/V8 to WMA
and *Possibly* but I think that required only a theme modification, padding so it always can contain 4 characters, and it's aligned on the right, (like the KBPS).

Here's a picture:


I am using foobar v0.8 beta 10 special with *most* plugins installed but not all.
Windows XP Pro with SP1
AMD XP2700+


Thank you.

------EDIT---------
I found an interesting part in the dynamic theme...
Here is it:

//codec
$if($stricmp(%__codec%,MP3),$puts(t_codec,'MP3'),
$if($stricmp(%__codec%,musepack),$puts(t_codec,'MPC'),
$if($stricmp(%__codec%,vorbis),$puts(t_codec,'Ogg'),
$if($stricmp(%__codec%,Monkey''s Audio),$puts(t_codec,'APE'),
$if(%__codec%,$puts(t_codec,%__codec%),$puts(t_codec,$upper($ext(%_path%)))
)))))

Though when I set a new one (to test) I.E.:
$if($stricmp(%__codec%,LOL),$puts(t_codec,'LOL'),
(right under MP3) it gives me SYNTAX INVALID but if I replace by exemple Monkey's Audio with Windows Media Audio V7/V8 and WMA, it does work... I'm lost :< Please help!!


----EDIT2-----
It was because it needs a ) to all IFs so I just added one...

PS: If anyone knows how to pad it faster than me, post

-----EDIT3-----

Job done. Works perfectly now, if anyone wants it email
mat128_2003@hotmail.com (it's in syfm format but I could post only the playlist tab, since I have only modified others to be like I wanted not to be more useful or anything [roman %tracknumber% in copy and taskbar ]

If all you want is the file extension, use $ext(%_path%)

Or $ext(%_filename_ext%).

Also, new to 0.8: $codec(), which returns codec, or extension if codec is not present. All of this is handled on the interpreter side for slightly faster processing and smaller code than always using $if2(%__codec%,$ext(%_filename_ext%)).
