[Not My Release] ELPlaylist

Reply #376 –
i have a small problem:

here is what i am working on: semi transparent band logos in elplaylist
>>Picture<<

my logos are white with black background, so i draw a rectangle, which is slightly darker then the el_playlist background, so the black parts of the logo become invisible.

here is the code:
Code: [Select]
$imageabs(330,$max($div($sub($mul(%el_item_count%,%el_row_height%),200),2),0),450,200,c:\albumart\logos\%artist%.jpg,)
$drawrect($getlastpos(x),$getlastpos(y),$getlastpos(w),$getlastpos(h),68-68-68-255,)
$imageabs($getlastpos(x),$getlastpos(y),$getlastpos(w),$getlastpos(h),%BANDLOGO.PATH%,,,20,)


but on some logos, the rectangle is drawn too big... see the small grey line on the right side of 'behemoth' logo?
happend on some logos, most time resizing the image fixed it.

can anyone explain why that happens?

also, when i set the first imageabs to 'nodisplay', nothing shows up.
I always thought with nodisplay i can load images into chache with out showning them. But $getlastpos() doesn't seem to get the information then...

thanks in advance!

I tried to install ELPlaylist.
Now, the problem is that although it's in the components folder(and list), it doesn't appear in the options, and it doesn't replace NGPlaylist.

So... What do I do now?

EDIT: Working now, but I still can't find it in the settings, and the album arts aren't shown

Menu File --> Preferences --> Columns UI --> Layout --> Right-click on the Splitter your NG Playlist is currently inserted and choose "Insert Panel --> Playlist views --> EL Playlist".
Then right-click on the NG Playlist and choose "Remove panel"

EDIT:
Just saw your edit now...
ELPLaylists settings are available with right-click on ELPlaylist --> Settings.
To get the album art you have set the path to it on the "field definition" tab (double-click on ART.PATH and enter the path to your album art in "definition")

Yes, I've found it out, but I still can't find the ELPlaylist settings in the options, and the album arts aren't shown.

I have an ELPlaylist in a Panel Stack Splitter and now was wondering if it is possible to use a butten in the splitter to change the way of sorting the playlist. For example a butten "Artist" sorts the playlist by artist and a button "Album" sorts the playlist by album. Anyone a suggestion?

This question more belongs to PSS thread

Button command in PSS:
COMMAND:Edit/Sort/Sort by Album

To view available commands in PSS go to Splitter Settings --> Script and choose from the dropdown list (where "function" is pre-selected) "Menu Command", then click on "list".

Is there any way to dispaly images provided with foo_covers?
I tried $imageabs(3,3,$sub(%el_height%,8),$sub(%el_height%,8),%path%,artreader) but that only displays the no cover image...
(Btw. i'm talking about external album art, not embedded)

I tried to add a transparent background.  I found that just enabling pseudo transparency on the elplaylist it really slows down scrolling, particularly one line at a time as opposed to one page at a time (although that's slow too).  Also uses much more CPU while scrolling.  About 50% on a AMD X2 3800+.  I have the latest version of all components.

Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?  thanks.

It's normal, unfortunately.

ELPlaylist 0.6.5.3b

added: restore scroll position on startup.
added: $imageabs creates a thread and reads an image file in the thread.
nodelay option disables this behaviour.
added %el_group_first_path% for $imageabs.
eg.$imageabs(,,,,%el_group_first_path%,artreader_front).

It doesn't work :/

Restore scroll works for me but the whole thing has become slower and it takes time to display the album art as you scroll down

set the option "nodelay" to your $imageabs-function for the covers.

OK, "restore scroll position on startup" doesn't work when playlist have ~600 items. On another playlist with about 200 items it's working well oO

In which cases does the new thread stuff for images improve anything? For me it makes everything slower. Not good for a default value to have this on in my opinion.

I released fixed version.
scrolling on startup maybe works.

thanks.  It appears the latest version (5/15/09) fixes a problem with the previous version where memory usage keeps climbing up as you scroll through the playlist.

%el_group_first_path% returns the path of the first file in the group, right?  Is it possible to extract %artist% and %album% from this to do your own cover art drawing rather than use artreader?

[Not My Release] ELPlaylist

As i understood, %el_group_first_path% is for use with artreader. If you want to draw your own cover in the file's path use $directory_path(%path%)\cover.jpg (or folder.jpg or %album%.jpg or whatever.jpg ... )

@Ssenna:

problem for me:

"added %el_group_first_path% for $imageabs.
eg.$imageabs(,,,,%el_group_first_path%,artreader_front). "

this is great to optimize the display of covers from artreader, thanx, but unfortunatly the nokeepaspect option is nomore available when coding this in elp

can you make it back ?

If you just want to sort using the pre-defined sort on the main menu, it's easy.  You can use COMMAND:'Edit/Sort/Sort by Album' or COMMAND:'Edit/Sort/Sort by Artist' etc with $imagebutton or $textbutton.  Syntax for those is here

http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...panel_splitter)

I want to do something a little different: I want to invoke the right click command Group/Sort by<preset>.  I think this is put there by ELPlaylist.  I can't figure how to do this though.  Alternatively, I want to invoke COMMAND:Edit/Sort/Sort by .../(custom sort string) but I can't figure how to do that either.  The best I can do is bring up the dialog, but I don't know how to programatically put in the string and press enter.  Any idea is appreciated.

nokeepaspect seems to work on my PC.
e.g.$imageabs(0,0,100,100,%el_group_first_path%,nokeepaspect artreader_front)
if this code doesn't work, please provide more information.
