You are using the core's mechanism, then?
Yes, coupled with the settings in CUI prefs for those storing artwork in a single folder. I may expand on the settings.

I have to say that the settings in CUI prefs for those storing artwork in a single folder also work for those storing album art in each album folder. Actually i use the same string as in the album art panel and it works great both in the album art viewer and the NG playlist. Which is great since with the way i store my album art i can't get it to work in DUI.

That's the way i store my album arts : link

And that's the string i use in CUI
Code: [Select]
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,,$if(%disc%,$directory(%path%,1)'\'),)Covers\Front.jpg

It works perfectly even with 2+ CDs albums.

So thanks a lot for all the last great improvements you've done in CUI.

Thanks for this very valuable information.

Question: The artwork settings in CUI have "Front", "Back", Disc" -> But in the panel or ng playlist I have no choice. How can I display "back" and "disc"?

%bitrate%


He maybe wants to know the bits per sample of the file (16 or 24 bit), I don't know if it's possible.

In the panel, you just clic the cover and it cycles through Front, Back and Disc (if they're available of course).
For NG playlist i'm not sure we can use Back and Disc.

Oh, thanks.
There's a difference from the album art panel here, though. No support for wildcards.
I spent some time wondering why
Code: [Select]
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,,$if(%discnumber%,$directory(%path%,1)'\'),)front.*
doesn't work.

There's no side panel in the latest versions.
You can configure the layout in Preferences, Display -> Columns UI, Layout tab.

I've seen it in other peoples configs .......did they use something different and create code for it ??
They either used the panels ui playlist viewer or ELplaylist component.

In NG Playlist of Columns UI, you can change group text color by using $rgb. As for the line, the only way to change its color is changing theme, I guess.

I even use this:

Because the album art mechanism always does first use jpegs in the audio files folder, then looks into what is defined in the columns options.

Bug? I have NG playlist in a "tabbed panel stack mod". Together with artwork view and playlist switcher. When I change to e.g. artwork panel and go back to NG playlist, the focus is on the dirst playlist entry. I can quickly return to the currently playing track with the internal command though...

I knew this, but it has some issues. For example, when a internet stream is being played you will probably be supplying a web address which the component will probably try and open.. I am going to expand/improve the settings a bit, anyway.

The problem seems to be that it resizes the panel to a point when you switch to another tab, which resets its scroll position to 0. It's true the Columns Playlist and some other panels don't behave like this, I'll check why, but also the built-in tab stack doesn't have this problem.

Any way for it not to expand groups to minimum height for groups when artwork is enabled if there is no artwork for the group?

Columns UI

Then, things would jump around whilst it is loading the artwork. Better just set a place holder image, I will probably include one by default soon as well.

I'd like to see reflection on images in the playlist, like in iTunes. That would be really cool.
