I saw a strange bug... In EsPlaylist the sorting looks like this:

1969|Led Zeppelin II
1969|Led Zeppelin
1970|Led Zeppelin III

I use the following script for forced sorting:
$stripprefix(%album artist%)|%date%|%album%[|%disc number%]|%tracknumber%
The same script sorts correctly the albums everywhere else (Filters, Album Library etc.), but in EsPlaylist they are sorted in this strange way... My bag to Ssenna is to check if this is a bug (and eventually consider to fix it in future release) or there's something wrong with my script.
Thank you in advance!

P.S. The same situation is with the artist sorting - "Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention" is sorted before "Frank Zappa" and again this behavior is only in EsPlaylist (the same script sorts it correctly everywhere else i'v tried).

Please Ssenna or anyone, how could i change length between each lines and colones ? I really don't like the distance between each artwork, i really would like someting like facets, more close.

See my picture :

I think it's the best foobar DUI plugin ever! Anyway, everything can be improve, so there go my suggestions:

- Statistics in groups, just like the Facets plugin (for example, the average rating of an album, the number of tracks in a folder, etc...)
- Set different image size in each level.
- Show more of one image in a group. When there is an entire album in the playlist, there is enough space to put the front cover and the back cover below, even with group details below.

v0.1.3.9(2011/05/28)

fixed : a crash when the opening clipboard fails.
fixed : a faint white line around borders of album arts.(GDI+ issue)
Removed the constraint of height of the group info column.

Couldn't agree more!

There are actually group statistics! For instance, number of tracks in group, total duration. Don't know about average rating, but since ESPlaylist has a custom ratings column, it wouldn't surprise me

This is definitely one of my top wishes too!! I would like to have much more covers on my screen at one time when in an upper level view - smaller distance between them and smaller images. I guess it would entail different column widths in each level.

Thanks for new version!! 
Can someone explain me, what and where is "group info column"?

To show the group info column, you need to right click on the first column header - then you can choose 'Group Info' under 'Insert Column'. This column can have multiple lines. You get this from writing $crlf() in you column script. Here's an example:

Code: [Select]
$if(%tracknumber%,$if2($meta_sep(album artist,', ',' & '),$meta_sep(artist,', ',' & ')),$meta_sep(artist,', ',' & '))$crlf()$puts(lr,$ifgreater($len(%released%),7, $left($right(%released%,8),3),))$ifgreater($put(r,$right(%released%,4)),%date%,%date% '('$get®$get(lr)')',%date%$get(lr))$if(%tracknumber%,,[ '('%album%')'])$crlf()$if(%discogs_release_id%,,?)[ $crlf()%genre%$crlf()][%publisher%$crlf()][%country%$crlf()]

Maybe I'm missing something. I don't know how to display the number of tracks in a group, or the total lenght, or the average bitrate, even using the "info group column". In fact, in that column, i'm only able to show information of the first track of the whole group. The same thing happens when I tray to display group statistics into the Side Info panel. 

Anybody can help me? Thanks in advance!

Absolutely amazing plugin!! Thank you!!

There is one importante setting, that could make it best plugin of all - multiline info below the  Album Art..

I had found two comments in this thread about it:

Quote
The ability to use $crlf() within the Title field of the album. This would allow me to include the album artist in the title, thus being able to typefind by album artist. I wouldn't have to worry about the album title being truncated, as it would be on a new line. I could also include more information under the album artwork should I choose to. Alternatively, it would be useful to be able to display the Side Info below the album artwork.

Is it possible to implement in future release the $crlf() function in the title field? It would be great to be able to organize the group header in more then one row.


Im telling about this (i made it in Graphical Browser):

Seconded (thirded / fourthed?)

This feature would be really great.

Also, thank you thank you thank you for such an amazing CUI component.

^^ an old but very good request.

I would absolutely like to see this feature, too.

Just to clarify, this is my usage:




ColumnsUI: filter(s) - Esplaylist - NG Playlist

the Esplaylist instance is set to follow active playlist, layered view, double-click sends selection (entire album) to active playlist and plays.

the NG Playlist instance on the right side shows the entire list of songs in the library, and moves around to highlight whatever the active selection is.

Basically this setup allows you to browse your collections primarily as a bunch of albums, and not as single tracks.  The filter lets you filter by Album Artist (as opposed to Artist, which would lead to an overpopulation of one-off compilation tracks), Genre, Year, the same way you would organize a physical collection of CDs.

As such, Esplaylist is the central component for browsing.  As you can see, however, since it's not possible to include ctrlf$ in the grouping title, it's just not possible to get all of the information necessary underneath the album cover (really only two lines would be necessary - album artist and title of album, perhaps year).  Switching back to using side info is of course a possibility, but it really breaks up the cover-centric approach by introducing more white space and text to the overall presentation.

I've tried working with Foo UIE Graphical Browser, but it's just not as polished as Esplaylist (ie, I can change the thumnail size on the fly by enabling clolumn header with Esplaylist, no scripting required, everything is handled through context menus, etc.)

The above roughly approximates the Zune Software interface which is one of the few mass market pieces of music software to break the itunes/collection-presented-as-excel-spreadsheet model.  It would be great to be able to put in the finishing touch and show the album titles correctly.  I think it would really make Esplaylist THE plugin that advances the foobar browsing mechanism the most.

Nice config you got there, but how did you center the album title beneath the albumart?

Under ESPlaylist's grouping presets properties, go into the grouping preset you are using and unclick "side info".  Since there is no longer side info, the "title" field will now display below the artwork instead of next to it.  Problem is, you cannot use the $crlf() function in the "title" field just yet, so a longer title (such as artist name and album name) get placed on one line which gets truncated/cut off.

I'm half tempted to return to the side info just to avoid getting the information cut off, but that somewhat fundamentally changes the look.

I wonder if there is any way to obtain data from multiple tracks when using the Group Info column.
For example, when I uses %bitrate% in the Group Info column, it displays the bitrate of the first track.
This is fine when the entire album is the same bitrate, but this is never the case when using lossless formats such as FLAC.

What I'd like is a way to compute the average bitrate of the entire album, instead of the first track. Thanks!

Another awesome application of this would be having a '%playback_time%/%length%' for an entire album, instead of single tracks.

(sorry for not being so active on this forum. I spend almost all my time on Head-Fi, and I keep forgetting to visit this awesome forum.)

I read it from top to bottom before your post, and a second time after it. I didn't find anything that would answer my question.
What I want is to have some sort of way to have a list of different values of a tag from all the members of a group.

E.g. I want the values for bitrate of a certain group. What I want to get somehow is a list similar to the following:
Code: [Select]
657; 584; 893; 475; 937; 543

These could be the bitrate values of all the members of a group (an album in this case) encoded in FLAC.

Then simply using the add() and divide() functions I could calulate the average bitrate of the album.

As you know that isn't possible, not least because title formatting doesn't have lists or arrays - however, I find that the most useful group stats such as group duration is already available.

That's unfortunate to hear.
I had hoped it was possible, though I had my doubts it would be. Hopefully foobar2000 title formatting will have support for loops and arrays sometime; it could be useful.

Thanks for the fast response, btw!

how can i change the artwork width to 60px on ES PLAYLIST?

you can drag the column header to change the size. you might need to squint a bit if you want to set it to exactly 60 pixels.

Hi, I was wondering, is there a way to display the index (the order in which it appears in the playlist) of a specific item (e.g. artist, or album, or song)?
