Facet or playlist that changes based on metadata of active playing track?

Objective: Using DUI I want a view that basically shows two panes. (1) the playlist, and (2) something like a facet, a second playlist view, or comparable component that displays a list based on particular metadata of the active track.

Example: In pane (1) The current track selected in the playlist Madonna - Song Name.. In pane (2) the component that shows all tracks based on %artist% of the active track, which in this case is Madonna, and therefore shows a list of all tracks that meet the criteria of %artist% = Madonna.

Is this possible? Preferably without using the JS component.

^ Library Tree script, most likely, with filter set to "Now Playing Artist"...

Code: [Select]
artist IS $nowplaying{$meta(artist,0)}

Why though? On DUI, I think you'd not find anything else besides the script above.

Over on CUI, the original Library Tree component has the same type of filter.

(I think the SMP script is far better though since it can show different views with artwork, etc)
