hi. a newbe here

can somebody help me make the images in my single column playlist a bit smaller? let's say around 60x60 px
I have this code (cepiperez's), and I have tried everything but I can't figure out what all those values mean. I thought (82,82 specifies the size of the bounding box of the image, but if I change it it just disappears. I've played around with some of the values but I just seem to move the image inside that bounding box..

CODE

$imageabs2(82,82,0,$sub($mul(%_height%,%tracknumber%),%_height%),,%_height%,10,,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,cover.jpg),)
$font(calibri,8,boldshadow glowalpha-50,)
$if($strcmp(%tracknumber%,01),$alignabs(100,-3,120,110,,)%date%,)
$if($strcmp(%tracknumber%,01),$imageabs(96,15,images\lineSHORT.png,))
$font(AvantGarde LT Medium,7,boldshadow glowalpha-50,100-100-100)
$if($strcmp(%tracknumber%,02),$alignabs(100,-3,140,110,,)%album%,)
$if(%_selected%,$drawrect(246,0,0,0,brushcolor-207-216-215 pencolor-null))

$alignabs(272,10,220,110,,)$font(CorpoS,7,,140-140-140)
$if($strcmp(%play_count%,?),No plays,%play_count% Plays)

)

Also, if someone could point me to some page that explains in detail this $imageabs2 function, I'd appreciate it, cause I've searched the wiki and the forum and I couldn't find anything..

Here is an imageabs2 explaination I got from somewhere + added some a bit of my own:
Look at this code (example):

Actual string: $imageabs2(50,50,,,40,40,10,1,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,folder.jpg),)
What it means: $imageabs2(1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th,7th,8th,path name,)

The 1st and 2nd values (50,50) are for the size you want to show the image (resizes the original)
The 3rd and 4th values (empty values) are for the left and top of the image (usually not used in group display), usually when it is used it would be in item display (and you'd multiple the track height by track number to split the images&offset the layer in the consecutive rows)
The 5th and 6th values (40,40) are for the size of the showed image (you can resize an original 150x150 image to 100x100 with the 1st and 2nd values, but with these values you can show only a part of the resized image)
The 7th and 8th values (10,1) are for set the left and top of the showed image.

Think it would be possible to add the F2 renaming feature of ColumnsUI to quickly change an ID3 tag field? This is the only feature of ColumnsUI that I miss.

Sorry, could anybody take a look at this piece of code cuz I'm going nuts already

Here I'm trying to calculate the average rating of the album by adding up all the rating fields of its tracks and then divide by number of tracks...

CODE

$puts(average,0)
$puts(tracks,0)

$if($and(%artist%,%album%),
$puts(average,$add($get(average),%rating%))
$puts(tracks,$add(%get(tracks),1))
,)
$puts(average,$div($get(average),$get(tracks)))

One quick request, the ability to resize images out of ratio(non square images could be made into squares etc)
I don't know if its possible or even smart(in regards to performance) but I thought I'd throw it out there.

edit: actually what I really need is the ability to align the resized object, something other than having it centered in the panel

Nice idea, El Nino. I also tried to set up a code based on your idea but failed, too.
As far as i know it is not possible, because all foobar components just read the tags of one song ~~(selected or playing)~~.
If i am wrong about this, please correct me!

Every line in playlist gets it's data from single track only,and cannot interact with other track's data,so for now it's impossible to sum up the values of many tracks from the playlist,however foo_browser has an ability to calculate average values of a group.

but maybe collecting tag-infro from defined tracks is worth a request at cwbowron's other component foo_cwb_hooks?!

anyway, to get stick to this threads topic again, a more single_column_playlist related question:

i am using parts of Snowsfall's group display code for my scpl-view:

CODE

$imageabs2(%_width%,%_width%,0,0,width%,%_width%,0,-$div(%_width%,2),$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)%album%.jpg,alpha-100)

some covers did not show up as soon as there was a vertical scrollbar in my playlist. i edited the code to:

CODE

$imageabs2(%_width%,%_width%,0,0,$sub(%_width%,6),%_width%,0,-$div(%_width%,2),$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)%album%.jpg,alpha-100)

first this seemed to fix my prob, but later i recognized there are still larger album-covers refusing to show up.
is this some kind of a bug?! is it my stupidity?! right now i have no idea....
(maybe i should go to bed and get rid of my headache

The only problem I ever ran into was that any cover that was smaller than the width would be just that, smaller, since scpl only shrinks images. But other than that I never had any problem with covers not showing.

hey, i know what you mean. though i do not think it is a problem.
of course a full width cover looks better than a not "resized" one. but NO COVER definitely looks worse than any cover

Hi,

I tried in foo_uie_albumart and it's working, but when I try:

$imageabs2(85,85,,,,,16,4,'matroska://'%path%'|front.jpg',) in single_column_playlist it doesn't show the file. Is my syntax right or foo_ui_single_column_playlist just won't work for some reason with that new feature ?

The big downside to an otherwise great plugin is that you cant simply select some tracks like in colums_ui. No simple order changing.
I would really like to use this single comlumn playlist, but i need that simple functionality. How do you cope with that problem? Or do you guys never switch the order?

So will this be possible in the future?
And what about single track mode? Now all track get grouped by some tag.

Hi,
First thanks to CepiPerez for a great and easy to mod config.

I have some questions about image cropping. I tried implementing a "walker" variable like columns_playlist but it didn't work. I believe because there is no concept of "global" variables and an "event model" in single_column_playlist. Basically, I think, it is a one time rendering. Correct?

The problem shows up when there are fewer then the required number of tracks to fill the image, for instance:

[image removed]

I can, sort of make it better by not showing the image if %disc% is equal to 2:

[image removed]

This is not quite what I would like for a few reasons. the problem also shows up when generating a custom playlist:

[image removed]

To solve the first problem I need to add empty rows or space of some kind to finish the image. To solve the second problem I need to start the first line on the first track of the playlist on the album, regardless of the tracknumber. As I mentioned I was hoping a "walker" variable could solve, at least the the playlist (second) problem, but I don't think that is an option.

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks.

Yotsuya

Oct 23 2006, 23:38

The entire item code gets re-evaluated for every item so your "walker" code will not work.

What many of us do is something like:

$ifgreater(%totaltracks%,4,CODE TO DISPLAY ART,)

so that the art only displays if there are enough tracks to accomodate the image. I've also seen implementations where different sizes are used based on the number of total tracks.

Oct 25 2006, 00:35

So I'm having trouble getting that little image in the middle of my group headers to resize vertically/horizontally. When I specify a size in the resizew part of imageabs2, it just moves the image that many pixels to the right, and if I use %_width% it just centers it horizontally. Same deal with resizeh.

So, am I doing something wrong? Here's the code:

CODE

... $imageabs2(%_width%,%_height%,0,0,%_width%,%_height%,0,0,C:\playlist\ovrly.png,alpha-90) ....

One bug report

There are two bug that just occur if ColumnUi Playlist and Single Column Playlist are in one tabbed panel stack:

1. Fresh restart of foobar -> change from ColumnsUi view to Single Column Playlist View by clicking the tab. You will see the result: Some parts of the view still belong to ColumnsUi. The only thing you can do is either scrolling the SCPlaylist or switching back to ColumnsUi and then back again to SCP.

2.Create a playlist with one album -> select several tracks in SCP -> switch to ColumnsUI. The result is that you see the same tracks more than one time

In terms of my grouping code, I have tried that exactly how it is there. Obviously I have a lot more in my header and item display code, but that shouldnt have any affect on grouping, as far as I know.

I think I just realized what may be going on, though. The problem (grouping of each track) is only happening when I have duplicate albums. What is happening is that the tracks are being sorted by album and then tracknumber automatically, which is causing this:
Group: track#1 in first folder
Group: track#1 in second folder folder
Group: track#2 in first folder
Group: track#2 in second folder folder
etc..

The only way I could think to fix this would be to have it sort tracks by album, then path, and THEN by tracknumber. I have no idea if this is possible, though.

kockroach

Oct 25 2006, 09:03

Should be able to sort by album, then path, then by tracknumber. This is my group by code:

%codec%|%date%|%album artist%|%album%

Works just as you would expect. First it groups by codec, then by year, then by Album Artist, then by album. Hope that helps.

Nope, still won't work. If there is a duplicate album and any of the sorting factors are different, it causes the tracks to get grouped individually. I explained why above, and I dont think there is any way to get around it simply because the playlist will always sort by tracknumber. For example, try duplicating an album folder and putting it in two different places on your computer. Load both folders into a playlist and then try getting them to be recognized in two different groups. I've tried everything I can think of to get it to work, but they either get lumped together or put into individual track groups. This really isnt a huge problem anway, since this situation rarely arises (I have one or two albums that are doing it), but it'd be nice to figure out a way around it.

Maybe you can fix it with you sort order? Edit > Sort > Sort by file path

hi. Some sorting problems here too.

I'm using single column playlist
group by: $if($stricmp(%comment%,'single'),!noheader!,%album artist%)

And my sorting string: %ALBUM ARTIST%|%DISCNUMBER%|%ALBUM%|%TRACKNUMBER%

My problem is that when I start foobar or when I change the playlist, everything is fine EXCEPT the various artists albums. In those, the tracknumbers are completely messed up. but when I do Edit>sort by>%ALBUM ARTIST%|%DISCNUMBER%|%ALBUM%|%TRACKNUMBER%, they get in order. I mean, for this albums I have to refresh the sorting string every time.. Anybody know how to fix that?

And another thing... as you see I group by artist (album artist, in fact), and then album. Is there a way to sort the albums insiden a "artist group" by date? how could I do that?

thanks in advance

is there a way to set an image as the background for the whole panel?

to use a background image for the entire panel, simply specify the image toward the top of your code so that all other code gets drawn on top of it. For an example of how to tile an image vertically see this post.

I know that, but that only works for the background of the items. I want the whole panel to have a background (sometimes my playlists don't reach the bottom of the panel)
