Could you please help me with 2 little problems? I tried you config because I really like it. Unfortunately it looks like this:

So my 2 questions:

1) Why is the album name cropped? Probably because of using 100dpi fonts. So how do I fix it?

2) My album art images are named after following scheme: %album% - front.jpg. Sometimes it is different, in the case I'd like to display any .jpg image in the album folder.

And one more question: In the code I found a link to a file "images\minidisc.png". What is this image good for? Where can I get it?

I'm sorry for my laziness, I would be probably able to find the answers by studying the code more deeply. But I hope the questions will be really easy to answer for you.

Thanks in advance.

Could you please make options to change the default clicking behavior in the playlist? Especially for double clicking, because this would make it possible to use jonpb's new component to have a true "Now Playing" playlist.

I wrote some code which will determine if a group is playing:

The only problem is that this information only seems to update after you switch playlists and switch back. I'm not sure why, but I have a feeling it has something to do with foo_cwb_hooks.

Hi, I've set the row height to 17 and the the header height to 3 rows:

to display images labeled %album% - front.jpg just exchange every occurence of folder.jpg in the code with %album% - front.jpg ... very easy indeed. To display any .jpg found in the folder is another case... don't know if it is possible... but you can check if a file exists, but you have to know what alternate names the jpgs can have.
The minidisk.png is there to display albums stretching acrossmultiple discs... it is diplayed beneath the disc number...:

I am having a strange issue: some of my images do not display in SCPL using $imageabs2 and absolute paths.
They do however if you use album art display.

See my foobar screenshot. The top trackinfo shows the output of the following command:

CODE

$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg)

This is the key code for album art in single column playlist:

CODE

$ifgreater($mul(%_height%,%_itemcount%),88,
$imageabs2(250,90,0,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,1)),,%_height%,175,,images\ART_cd.png,)
$imageabs2(230,79,0,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,5)),,%_height%,190,,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg),)
$imageabs2(250,90,0,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,1)),,%_height%,175,,images\case.png,)
,)

All my album art is a file called folder.jpg stored in the same folder that contains the tracks. The strange thing is that this only happens for some albums.....

Any help is appreciated.

SCPL and Trackinfomod have issues with #

remove the # from the path and they will work.

Yotsuya

Jan 18 2007, 20:13

beto: I suspect the proble is that your path name for the album art contains a pound sign '#'. This is a known issue with SCPL. Avoid using the # character in path names and this should resolve your problem.

What you could do is make a row of buttons using a trackinfo_mod panel and put it right over the playlist. Then you could make them perform sorting to simulate column headers. Of course its still not true resizable columns, but it's better than nothing.

Example with SORT command:

CODE

$button2(DstX,DstY,X,Y,W,H,TEXT,HOVER TEXT,
'SORT:source|!source!:genre|%genre%:artist|%artist%:album|%album%',)

Sorting

CODE

SORT:name_1|value_1:name_2|value_2:...:name_n|value_n

Enables a sorting context menu which shows name_1, name_2, etc, corresponding to sorting by value_1, value_2, etc. SORT sorts the currently selected playlist, which manifests itself in all playlist views of that active playlist.

CODE

$sorted(field)

Returns a sort index of the field, ie if the playlist is sorted first by genre, then artist, then by album, $sorted(artist) will return 3. If the playlist is not sorted by 'field' through the SORT command described above, then $sorted(field) will be evaluated as false and produce '[UNKNOWN FUNCTION]' as text output.

So I've had some fun learning about the sort command however I am having a bit of difficulty. To begin with I do not want a sorting context menu I just want the button to perform the sort. I found out that by specifying only one item/value combo, that value will auto execute. First hurdle cleared. However it appears that when using multiple buttons their sorting accumulates. So if you click a button to sort by %artist%, then click a button to sort by %album% this is the same as only clicking a button for %artist%%album% (or did I get that reversed?).

What I would like to do is have each button's sort isolated from each other. So that when I click on a button to sort by %artist% the list will sort by artist and if I then click on a button to sort by %album% the list is then resorted by album regardless of artist. (The difference in this example is slight, becomes apparent with various artist albums, but the problem is amplified with complex sort strings). There is an option called "reset" available from the context menu which will allow the user to manually clear each tag from the sorting string however I can find no way to automate the process.

Does anyone have any ides on how to create buttons that will sort the playlist regardless of which buttons have been clicked before?

shakey_snake

Jan 20 2007, 23:54

you need to use more specific (and complex) sort algorithms.

Sorting by %artist% is incomplete. What happens when two songs are by the same artist? Then how does foobar decide which comes first? By default it (rather intelligently) then uses the previous sort method. Columns (and the rest of windows for that matter) does the same thing.

To avoid the problem, each sort string needs to have all tags found in all other strings.

I tried to oversimplify things during my previous example maybe that was a bad choice. I am not siimply using column headings like the previous post but instead trying to apply different sorting strings to change the view of the playlist between albums, singles, and online radio streams. This is my current code:

CODE

$drawrect(0,0,0,0,brushcolor-210-210-210 pencolor-null)

$alignabs(2,2,%_width%,%_height%,,)$font(tahoma,7,,0-0-0)Sorting$font(,,,128-128-128):$rgb()

$button2(50,1,0,0,37,13,'$rgb()$char(91)$font(tahoma,7,,128-128-128)Albums$rgb()$char(93)','$font(tahoma,7,shadow,255-255-255)Albums',
'SORT:Albums|
%album artist% - $if(%tracknumber%,%date%,0) - $if(%tracknumber%,%cdid%,) - $if(%tracknumber%,%album%, ) - %discnumber% - %tracknumber%
:dummy',)

$button2(90,1,0,0,35,13,'$rgb()$char(91)$font(tahoma,7,,128-128-128)Singles$rgb()$char(93)','$font(tahoma,7,shadow,255-255-255)Singles',
'SORT:Singles|
%artist% - %title%
:dummy',)

$button2(128,1,0,0,29,13,'$rgb()$char(91)$font(tahoma,7,,128-128-128)Radio$rgb()$char(93)','$font(tahoma,7,shadow,255-255-255)Radio',
'SORT:Radio|
$if($strstr($replace($lower(%genre%),$char(39) , ),goa),Goa,
$if($strstr($replace($lower(%genre%),$char(39) , ),trance),Trance,
$if($strstr($replace($lower(%genre%),$char(39) , ),techno),Trance,
$if($strstr($replace($lower(%genre%),$char(39) , ),anime),Anime,
$if($strstr($replace($lower(%genre%),$char(39) , ),japanimation),Anime,
$if($strstr($replace($lower(%genre%),$char(39) , ),jpop),JPop,
$if($strstr($replace($lower(%genre%),$char(39) , ),jrock),JPop,
$if($strstr($replace($lower(%genre%),$char(39) , ),japanese),JPop,
$char(255))))))))) - %codec% - $num($sub(1000,%bitrate%),3)
:dummy',)

This more or less works with the exception that I have to go and click reset between each button. This is why I have added the :dummy entry at the end to reveal the popup. Ideally I would like to find a way that the button would auto-reset the sort string after the sorting is performed so that I can eliminate the menu completely and use the different buttons to toggle different playlist views.

hi all
been searching for a solution to this but can't really figure a way out
for singles/singletracks, i use a SINGLETRACK tag to distinguish them

what can i type in the Group column
so under a playlist with both albums and singles
the singles will be all grouped together without headers
or if there's a header, it's under a common header called SINGLES

thanks!

Yotsuya

Jan 21 2007, 01:05

wilflare: First you need to change your sorting string so that the singles appear together. add %SINGLETRACK% toward the beginning of your sort string:

File> Preferences> General> "Sort incoming files by:"
(for new playlists) -or- (for existing playlists)
Edit> Sort> Sort By...

Once your playlist is sorted you can change your group by code to something like this:
$if(%SINGLETRACK%,!noheader!,%album%%discnumber%)

ciaran

Jan 21 2007, 02:50

Can you add standard UI behavior to SCP? Specifically, have tab cycle back and forth to SCP? As if right now, if track in SCP is selected, you cannot tab away to anything else within the :B window.

This becomes necessary for remote control operation.

Thx!

Then if you want to group adjacent single tracks together, you can do something like:
$if(%singletrack%,%singletrack%,%labum%)

Then in the group display box, something like:
$if(%singletrack%,SINGLES,Code for displaying non-singletrack songs)

Jan 21 2007, 12:54

What I currently do for sorting is to have a ColumnsUI playlist above my Single Column Playlist that is so small that only the column titles are showing. You could define your own columns with your own customized sorting strings and name them however you want. This strategy allows much flexibility and you don't have to reset anything like you do with the SORT command in Trackinfo mod buttons.

I find it's also handy to have a ColumnsUI playlist to the side of my Single Column Playlist because with all the images I use in Single Column Playlist, it scrolls kind of slowly, whereas ColumnsUI scrolls about as fast as my mouse can move ;-)

I believe those square characters are what is displayed for a character that is not defined in the particuar font you are using. Try swithing the font to Arial Unicode. If something other than square characters are displayed, then it's just a matter of using a font that has those characters.

adrosenth: This situation has been discussed several times already please read the earlier posts before posting. Many (including myself) have requested a minimum rows/minimum group height option. Until such a feature emerges you can have the cover art removed for groups not large enough to display full image like this: ...

You can alternatively have the image sized to either the dimesnsoins of width x width [width being the width that you choose to set aside to be available for album art] when there is enough room [when $mul(%height%,$get(numrows)) is greater than the width], or to the dimensions of height x height when the width that you allow is greater than the available height.

The code used is nothing special. The images that are being stretched are small, less than 30 pixels in width.

You should be able to reproduce it. I'm surprised no one else has this problem as well.

Here's a bit of VB.Net sample code I use for the proper tiling of an image.

CODE

        Dim G As Graphics = Graphics.FromHwnd(Me.Handle)
        Dim Img As Image = Image.FromFile("C:\Program Files\foobar2000\images\selectionmiddle.png")
        Dim IA As New System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageAttributes
        IA.SetWrapMode(Drawing2D.WrapMode.Tile)

        Dim dstRect As New Rectangle(0, 20, Me.Width, Img.Height)
        G.DrawImage(Img, dstRect, 0, 0, Img.Width, Img.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, IA)

        Img.Dispose()
        G.Dispose()

So maybe you can add a TILE option to the $imageabs2() function?

If I enqueue a track in ColumnsUI or the defaultUI it will switch playback to the playlist where I enqueued the file.

However if I do the same thing in SCP it goes back to where it was before. Also while playing the enqueued item %_isplaying% returns 0 and %cwb_queue_end_playlist% returns an empty string.

It's kind of annoying as I use add to playback queue to gaplessly change playlists.

However this still is not executing the reset. This is my current button code I am using for testing:

CODE

$button2(90,1,0,0,35,13,'$rgb()$char(91)$font(tahoma,7,,128-128-128)Singles$rgb()$char(93)',
'$font(tahoma,7,shadow,255-255-255)Singles',
'SORT:Singles|RESET %artist% - %title%:Dummy',)

After the button is clicked and "Singles" is selected, the menu no longer displays "Singles" unless you choose "Reset".

I think I've found a bug with adding to the playback queue.

If I enqueue a track in ColumnsUI or the defaultUI it will switch playback to the playlist where I enqueued the file.

However if I do the same thing in SCP it goes back to where it was before. Also while playing the enqueued item %_isplaying% returns 0 and %cwb_queue_end_playlist% returns an empty string.

It's kind of annoying as I use add to playback queue to gaplessly change playlists.

Any chance of getting this fixed? It's just a bit of a blocker for me.

seems to work fine for me...

'SORT:Singles:RESET %artist% - %title%' should do it.

yep, that's a typo on my part. here's some code that should work:

that's by design (since "Singles" is already added to the sort string).

Thank you for your help this appears to be working now. I do have a few more questions though. Am I right in assuming that by placing the RESET at the beginning, the sorting string isn't reset until the beginning of the next sort? I tried to expand upon the idea by using $sorted(Title) in the SCPL group by code but have once again come upon a stumbling block. I tried to expand on your previous example like this:

CODE

$if($sorted(Title),$drawrect(0,0,40,12,pencolor-0-0-0 brushcolor-null))
$button2(0,0,0,0,40,12,
    '$alignabs(0,0,40,12,center,middle)$font(tahoma,7,bold,0-0-0)Title',
    '$alignabs(0,0,40,12,center,middle)$font(tahoma,7,bold,255-0-0)Title',
    'SORT:Title|%title%',)

$if($sorted(Artist),$drawrect(50,0,40,12,pencolor-0-0-0 brushcolor-null))
$button2(50,0,0,0,40,12,
    '$alignabs(0,0,40,12,center,middle)$font(tahoma,7,bold,0-0-0)Artist',
    '$alignabs(0,0,40,12,center,middle)$font(tahoma,7,bold,255-0-0)Artist',
    'SORT:Artist|RESET %artist%',)

//$if($and($sorted(Artist),$sorted(Title)),$drawrect(100,0,40,12,pencolor-0-0-0 brushcolor-null))
$if($sorted(Both),$drawrect(100,0,40,12,pencolor-0-0-0 brushcolor-null))
$button2(100,0,0,0,40,12,
    '$alignabs(0,0,40,12,center,middle)$font(tahoma,7,bold,0-0-0)Both',
    '$alignabs(0,0,40,12,center,middle)$font(tahoma,7,bold,255-0-0)Both',
//    'SORT:Artist|RESET %artist% - %title%',)
    'SORT:Both|RESET %artist% - %title%',)

$alignabs(0,14,100,14,center,middle)$font(tahoma,7,bold,0-0-0)%sortstring%

But this is giving me odd behavior. The "Title" and "Artist" buttons behave as expected however the "Both" button has somewhat unpredictable behavior. Although I would have thought that with the RESET at the beginning of the string, clicking on either of the first two for a second time wouldnt clear the sorting. Also, does %sortstring% only return the first field of the current sort string?
Sorry, it appears $sorted() and %sortstring% refer to the name before the pipe, not the fields included in the sort string. I renamed the last command and realized this. I actually prefer this :)

Is %sortstring% and $sorted() available outside of the panel in which the buttons appear that set them? I keep getting ? or [UNKNOWN FUNCTION] when trying to use these in a different panel than the one the buttons are in.

thanks Yotsuya for the sorting code
just one last thing
i don't need my singletracks to display track number
so is there anyway, for it to display the artist name in the column instead.

using bbmartini's config.

here's the item display for the single column playlist
$ifequal($mod(%tracknumber%,2),0,
$imageabs(,,\images\LE5\reluna1.png,),
$imageabs(,,\images\LE5\reluna2.png,))

$if(%_selected%,$imageabs(,,\images\LE5\relunagreen.png,),)

$if(%isplaying%,$imageabs(,,\images\LE5\relunablue.png,),)
$if(%isplaying%,$font(Calibri,8,bold,0-0-200),$font(Calibri,8,,0-0-0))

$alignabs(277,2,%_width%,20,left,)
$if(%isplaying%,%_time_remaining%,%length%)

$padding(7,)
$align(left,middle)
[%tracknumber%]

$alignabs(28,2,%_width%,20,left,)
[%title%]

$ifgreater($mul(%_height%,%_itemcount%),88,
$imageabs2(100,90,0,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,1)),,%_height%,175,,images\ART_cd.png,)
$imageabs2(80,79,0,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,5)),,%_height%,190,,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg),)
$imageabs2(100,90,0,$sub($mul(%_height%,%_itemindex%),$add(%_height%,1)),,%_height%,175,,images\case.png,)
,)

sorry for the trouble but really appreciate the help!

Any ideas why it doesn't work like this for me?

I've got the latest SCPL (0.4.5 beta), ColumnsUI (0.1.3 beta 1v7) and Foobar.

I do not use bbmartini's config but this looks like the chunk of code that controls the tracknumber and title columns:

CODE

$padding(7,)
$align(left,middle)
[%tracknumber%]

$alignabs(28,2,%_width%,20,left,)
[%title%]

This would be my suggestion on how to adapt this code for use with your SINGLETRACK tag, replacing the track number with artist name for those singles:

CODE

$padding(7,)
$align(left,middle)
$if(%SINGLETRACK%,
[%album artist% - ]%title%
,
[%tracknumber%]
$alignabs(28,2,%_width%,20,left,)
[%title%]
)

Hey, I have pretty much no experience coding and would like some help. What I want to do is have the song title aligned to the left when the genre is Classical, and to the right for everything else. Is it possible? Thanks in advance.

As far as I know there is no way to code one line based on another, however you may be interested in something like this:
$if(%_selected%,$drawrect(0,0,0,1,brushcolor-0-0-0),)

$alignabs(0,0,%_width%,%_height%,$if($strcmp($lower(%genre%),classical),left,right),)%title%
