I have a keyboard shortcut (Alt-3) set to display the file property box (still a relic from my Winamp-using days ). However, since the latest version, I can't use Alt as a modifier for a keyboard shortcut any more. Ctrl does still work.

You can control whether headers appear or not by making the result of the Group By box be !noheader! - for example, mine is:

Code: [Select]
$ifgreater($num(%totaltracks%,2),01,%album%%disc%,!noheader!)


Which results in albums getting headers and singles not. Singles are denoted by their TOTALTRACKS tag, Which should be set to 1.

How does one not display a header with autoplaylists that are determined by track ratings? for example, i have a favorites playlist that only displays tracks with a rating of 5. each track actually belongs to an album and therefore their total tracks tags are not equal to 1. any ideas? i guess i want to know if its possible to display headers or no headers based on the playlist's name, instead of tag values.

Can we get some sort of $set_global() and $get_global() support?

I'm basically looking to store a variable between groups. I'd like to have only the first group that belongs to an artist to display the artist's name. The groups afterwards that belong to the same artist would just have blank space. The look I'm going for is the WMP11 look.


This will not work as $set and $get_global are per-track evaluated. It is NOT possible to reliably get all the meta-data from all tracks of an album (or a collection of tracks).

yes it is just use %playlist_name% to get the name of the current playlist.

thanks, but pardon my idiocy, what would the full syntax be? and is it possible to use a conditional to display both the artist name and the song title only when there is no header?

Haven't tested this properly but if you name your playlists that have ratings with a character or character code (I used "-r-" is this example):
Code: [Select]
$if($strstr(%playlist_name%,'-r-'),!noheader!,<some grouping patten>)

And for your display:
Code: [Select]
$if($strstr(%playlist_name%,'-r-'),<display for ratings>,<otherwise>)

Replace the <*>s for your setup.

I'm just looking for a way to set variables across the whole playlist, like Column UI's global variables. and be able to get/set them in the group and item display boxes.

Unless you are some sort of genius, how exactly are you going to put foobar on your iPod?

This way i have my music collection & foobar setup with me at all times

ive been looking at this plugin for a while and it looks pretty cool. is there a way prevent grouping unless there is going to be a particular number of files in the group? for example..

you could compare $right(%tracknumber%,2) with the number of files that are to be grouped. if it matches, they are shown as a group. if not, they are shown as individual tracks. this would prevent grouping from happening if the list is not sorted by albums.

Well you could like, use an if statement or any other function in the group box - it groups things by the output of that, I mean you could group it by the crc32 of the albumname if you wanted.

I don't think you could "compare" with tracks above, you'd have to use something like %totaltracks% ?

ok im not sure if i have a bug or not. although it may have happen since i changed some code

for some reason the playlist dropdown and quicksearch plugin have stopped working on my scpl but when i switch to a columns playlist it works fine.

its wierd because if i right click on the scpl and change the playlist it changes but if i select one from the drop down plugin it does not.

i think i have the latest version of scpl i will download again and go have a play

When you right-click and select a playlist from the single columns panel, make sure you pick the 'Active' option instead of the playlist name. It'll work like normal then..

thats what i meant. ;) if only there was a way to compare %totaltracks% to the number of items that match %album%. group them if the the number of tracks match the total tracks, and dont group them if they dont match.

Like if %_itemcount% = %totaltracks%?

yes.
group if %_itemcount% = %totaltracks%
dont group if %_itemcount% != %totaltracks%

but i dont know if it is possible to get an item count unless the croup is already created in which case it would be too late of there are not the right number of files to make it a group.

someone mentioned above they would like to have a minimum group size. if you could make minimum group size = total tracks, that would probably work well, even with multi disc albums.

Yea, it wouldn't work because %_itemindex% and %_itemcount% wouldn't be available until after grouping.

Can someone tell me about the bugs from the version of scpl you can download now?
I have no ideas how the versions of the plug-in changed about the features
The wiki helped me a lot.

@terrestrial:
Maybe a changelog would be a really good idea.  Maybe some could post it here or in the wiki
