Br3tt,

I have some code that may be worthwhile to add into your config.  I was finally able to get something to work that would recognize Lyrics stored in a file, rather than in a tag, and display your new Lyrics Icon.

In ELP settings add the following Field Definition:
NAME: __LYRICSFILE__
DEFINITION:  $findfile($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,%artist% - %filename%.lrc))

Then in the Track List tab of the Script section, change this:
Code: [Select]
$if($or(%LYRICS%,%LYRIC%),

to this:
Code: [Select]
$if($or(%__LYRICSFILE__%,$or(%LYRICS%,%LYRIC%)),


Enjoy!

Ok thats enabled but there just grey boxes nothing like the images people have posted.


First you may have to change the path, second - if you want the popups posted in the last few pages here you gotta download my tweaked version of elPlaylist-config.

Onkel, is there any special reason not to use $swapprefix(%album artist%,The,Die) ?
Is it something I'm missing?


Actually.... there is not one single reason to not use the code you've provided  I was just blindly copying the stuff posted here - big thanks for that hint... everything could be so easy

Thanks!

By the way, I changed my album artist code from this:
Code: [Select]
$if($strcmp($left(%album artist%,4),The ),$right(%album artist%,$sub($len(%album artist%),4))', 'The,%album artist%)

to this:
Code: [Select]
$stripprefix(%album artist%,the)

It works in all of the places I did the former code, plus is it more compact.  I also only did "The" as I don't believe an artist like A Perfect Circle should go under P.  Belongs under A.  But that is my opinion.

Onkel Andy,

how do you get to save additional presets in ELP settings - I don't make it. Changes are not saved and I can't rename them.


First change the code, then hit new, then change the name and hit "rename" afterwards. To use the presets you have to put the relevant names in the grouping tab, the option is called "associated script name"

I've updated my tweak-file This time it also has the correct link  So get it while it's hot.
Download tweaked Curacao

elPlaylist:
These are the tweaks:
-Sorting and grouping with swapprefix(The)
-Lyric-Icon also showing when LRC-File exists, not only tag
-2-digit discnumber
Additional stuff:
-Different group/sort-possibilities: change between single track listing (inkl. special treatment of "History"-playlist) or album group
-Show Album art for Single- or Soundtrackfiles in the playlist as well as relevant comment-info
-Popups completely re-designed, showing album- and artistpictures

Graphical Browser:
-Sorting and grouping based on prefix "The"
-totally redesigned album/artist-browser based on Thuans great config. Features are:
display info for missing artwork, show play-icon on playing album/artist and of course.. popups

you just have to put them available in the ELPlaylist settings (enable mouse over ...)


I checked that option and got the little blank box pop up. I imported OA's file and it totally changed the look unless I missed something, I want it to look like original out of the box but still have the popup thing.

You may have missed the group/sorty by option. Just sort by Album and you have the completely same look as before! You can also delete the other grouping-way in the preferences if you don't like the tracklisting. If nothing works for you, just copy the popup-code and put it in the old config.

Lieber Onkel, if I'm not missing something your script gets only folder.jpg as displayed covers. I added another variable for cover.jpg and then modified the script to display it if folder.jpg is not found.
Maybe you can do the same for your next update?

I also made all the changes for the graphical browser.

Looking at your popup I see that it also displays the comments from the tag. Only thus the window gets very large. Should it be possible to limit the display length of the comment line or to introduce a line break lets say after 20 chars?

I've provided the optimized popup-background and optimized elPlaylist config (two-digit discnumber, group/sort artists with "The" and standard scrolling on my server. Just download it and put the image in the images/curacao/bg-folder.

Would you mind either fixing this link or pm'ing me a new link?  I'd love to fix the background problem I talked about earlier with the popups.  I need those modified images.  Thanks, and nice work.

I think I got it...the other issue is the popup...comes up just fine as far as the color but there is a white border on the right side and bottom and that looks like crap....any place to fill the whole popup with the same color or get rid of the white border?

Okay, so the link works now! It includes the tweaked FCL with all the tweaks mentioned above, an altered popup.png and a play-icon for the graphical browser. Have fun.

Done. I just cut the comment to %__commentcut__% characters right now, you can define the number of chars in the variables under field definition
Coverart is now also considering cover.jpg and directoryname.jpg. Add additional stuff in the art_path field definition.

Implemented the cover.jpg and %directoryname%.jpg check in graphical browser and splitter -> more flexible.
Some other tweaks done.

Yes, the popup looks fine now. I tweaked the GB to display not only the folder.jpg, but also cover.jpg. Same for the Splitter setting.

I have another question: the playlist grouping startup by default is by Single, how can I make it startup with
Artist Album as default?

EDIT: nevermind, the alphabet deal at the top isn't working anymore....so thats a big problem. I imported OA's altered config and elplaylist deal and popups look nice now but I need the alphabet deal at top to work! Please help someone! Thanks!

EDIT 2: got the idea to download OA's .zip config again and there were changes made so I imported both again and still the little alphabet deal at the top isn't responding no matter what I click, its just stuck at the beginning.

This is strange... I have tested it and it works.. have you tried different playlists? Maybe it's just not updating. Maybe you right-click on the alphabet at the top and go into the settings. After hitting "Okay" or "Apply" it may update..?

If that doesn't help download the zip, you only need to import the FCL, not the elp seperately.

well I only have 1 playlist

I can mouse over the letters and click them and that part looks normal but the area below doesn't move or do anything like the original

Using the original and setting it up as required its working fine. With this altered version do I still follow the original setup instructions? Or just simply import it and thats it?


*EDIT*

There is a screenshot...I am playing Alice In Chains and before if I clicked any letter, in pic its M, it would jump to the M section of the playlist and I could then play other music....but as the screen shot shows I clicked M and nothing happened.
