C3POwen,
I assume your playlist viewer is NG Playlist.
I have the foo_dynamic_range component installed; can you explain the steps of how you make that Dynamic Range image automatically appear in the playlist viewer display.
Thanks.
As chiwou and marc2003 both correctly said, it is indeed ELPlaylist that I'm using.
As for the Dynamic Range images, these are first created using the "Copy DR value/logo" function within the component after it has run, and I then created a .png of each value by pasting the logo into an image editing program. As the DR component can write the dynamic range to the files as tags, I use this as the basis for a small script to show the correct value, on a per album basis. The component actually writes two tags per file: %dynamic range% and %album dynamic range%, which are both purely whole numerical values. The script I use is this:
$if(%album dynamic range%,$imageabs($sub(%el_width%,52),49,42,42,skins\dynamicrange\DR%album dynamic range%.png,),)
The script is just a simple $if argument, which checks for the album dynamic range tag in the file and displays the relevant image, as long as it is named correctly. If there is no album dynamic range information, it doesn't display anything at all, but that can always be modified.
More information on the $imageabs function can be found here.
I've included links to the images that I created, in both the default blue and the modified grey that I use in the skin:
- DR images (blue)
- DR images (grey)
At the moment I've only got images covering a range between 1 and 20, as I don't have any music that has a higher range than that.
