for 2) why is it not needed? Some of the images I use in ELPL are located in the images folder of foobar.


i run foobar from multiple locations (hard drive at home, usb key on other computers) using the same el_playlist code and it works fine as a relative path.

Code: [Select]
$imageabs($sub(%el_width%,150),6,15,11,images\whatever.png,,,,)

Not sure if you can manage a workaround with this component (foo_cmd_playlist)
I use it to activate certain playlists.

Unfortunately, not. I guess there is no underground plugin to fetch the active playlist name... And cwb_hooks is dead.
Will hope our (dear) developer adds it some day, this question was asked here few times already.

Why refreshing a playlist is so slow if 'Follow Active Playlist' is activated compared to the same playlist display when option disabled ?

I'm not sure, but I think performance of ELPlaylist is almost same whether "Follow Active Playlist" is enabled or not.

Activating playlist affects not only ELPlaylist but also some other components.
As a result, Follow Active Playlist may seem to be slow.

@ Ssenna:

I´m using EL Playlist with a library of 62K tracks.

Performance of the list (scrolling, loading covers) is really good, but what´s so slow is collapsing/expanding groups! This takes 5 up to 10 seconds.


To find out why I did the following:

1. only used drawtextex (instead of sometimes drawstring) in the script.
2. unchecked pseudo transparency.
3. Deleted script parts.
4. Removed all scripts completely (!).

Nothing helped (not even point 4). So the reason must be somewhere in the component itself or some of my other settings.

Do you have an idea?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Gotta say I love ELPlaylist.

I do have a feature request. I'd love to be able to add a Group Footer as well. There doesn't seem to be anyway to do this currently.

Keep up the great work ssenna.

it's already possible by adding an empty (or many) line in the groupe (last index of the group+1)

You're right, I figured out how to do it, but it wasn't very easy. It seems that when ELPlaylist is iterating through the lines, %el_height% has a different value depending on whether we are looking at an actual track, or if it's an extra row. My script was using %el_height% to draw backgrounds and display text, and it took a decent amount of work to get everything located properly. I'm still kind of new at scripting for foobar, particularly using ELPlaylist, so it takes me longer than it does most people I assume.

I still think a dedicated Group Footer might be a nice addition, but I suppose it isn't necessary.

I was able to do some cool things though:

I did not find how to display my covert art named folder.jpg in each album header, how can I do that ?

use the $imageabs function. check the documentation for how to use it. here's the titleformatting needed for the path...

Code: [Select]
$directory_path(%path%)\folder.jpg

Thank you so much, I found this function but i didn't have any idea about the way it worked.

@Ssenna: There are some really minor issues:

1. Group headers aren´t updated after changing Tags.

2. It would be nice to have options for right click actions. What I miss is, that all tracks in a group are selected and the context menu appears when right-clicking the group header (now you have to first left-click the group header then right click to get the context menu, would be handy in only one click)

3. Using the up and down arrow keys works very well with expanded groups. But when groups are collapsed, it would be nice, if scrolling using up and down arrows would switch (and highlight) the complete group instead of going through the (invisible) tracks. (I´m asking this because I use foobar with a remote control, which uses up and down arrow).

As I said, minor things. Nevertheless I really love, how EL PL runs now. These are just ideas to make it perfect

Hi,

I am trying to insert the artist name when the CD is a compilation. Here is the code I wrote in the Track List script:

Code: [Select]
$ifequal(%band%,%artist%
  ,$puts(track.text,%tracknumber%  %title%)
  ,$puts(track.text,%tracknumber%  %artist%  %title%)
)


If it is a compilation, then artist and band (album artist) will not match, therefore ELPlaylist should write a line including %artist% tag. But it does not seem to work for me. Yet if I write $puts(track.text,%tracknumber% %artist% %band%  %title%) ELplaylist can read both tags and they are really different. Any clues ?


Thanks,
Leo

$ifequal only works with integers not strings. Your strings are always TRUE so that's your problem. Do this instead:

Code: [Select]
$if($stricmp(%band%,%artist%)
   ,$puts(track.text,%tracknumber%  %artist%  %title%)
   ,$puts(track.text,%tracknumber%  %title%)
 )


if %band% and %artist% are equal $stricmp will return 0, so you have to reverse the order of your $puts as well.

New small issue I guess. How can it be done even on the albums not currently playing ?

i just use that one line of code to display album art in all my group headers.

i guess you must have some conditional title formatting in your group header displaying different stuff depending on if something is playing or not?

Here it is :

// ----- ALBUM-ART --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$if(%el_isplaying%,
   $imageabs(3,3,$sub(%el_height%,8),$sub(%el_height%,8),$directory_path(%path%)\folder.jpg)

It looks like you are using a modified DarkOne script.
I made a mistake in its field definitions...

Please do the following:
Right-click in the playlist --> Settings --> field definition tab --> double-click on the entry __ART_OPTION__ and change the value artreader_front nodelay to artreader nodelay and all your covers should be displayed.

If you want to get back the play arrow on albums that are playing, change the line:
Code: [Select]
$imageabs(3,3,$sub(%el_height%,8),$sub(%el_height%,8),$directory_path(%path%)\folder.jpg)

back to
Code: [Select]
$imageabs(3,3,$sub(%el_height%,8),$sub(%el_height%,8),%__IMG_PATH__%Images\GroupPlay.png)


If you only want to display album art not depending on play state, change this whole part of the script:
Code: [Select]
// ----- ALBUM-ART --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$if(%el_isplaying%,
$imageabs(3,3,$sub(%el_height%,8),$sub(%el_height%,8),$directory_path(%path%)\folder.jpg)
,
$if2($imageabs(3,3,$sub(%el_height%,8),$sub(%el_height%,8),%__ART_PATH__%,%__ART_OPTION__%)
,
$imageabs(3,3,$sub(%el_height%,8),$sub(%el_height%,8),$get(sub.pic),nodelay)
)
)

to:
Code: [Select]
// ----- ALBUM-ART --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$if2($imageabs(3,3,$sub(%el_height%,8),$sub(%el_height%,8),%__ART_PATH__%,%__ART_OPTION__%)
,
$imageabs(3,3,$sub(%el_height%,8),$sub(%el_height%,8),$get(sub.pic),nodelay)
)
