There is nothing that can not be solved in SQL Yes as you say this is something like a view that goes
Composer
Album
Tracks
but you only want this view to be for albums with a genre of classical. The only way to do this currently is add a level of genre on top and then filter this on "Classical". You can then tick the skip option and it will kind of work.
Bigger problems come in if you say want to have this view but for albums with a genre of classical or opera. Currently this is not possible.
I do it as a job so this is fairly simple in comparisonI know, SQL is turing complete I have developed quite some complex things in SQL.
It skips one level if there is only a single value so in reality does not work too well with these complex viewsThe skip only works on 1 item, doesn't it. We need a general filter option then.
I am guessing the album tags are something like "the album (CD1)" and "the album (CD2)" or the like. Make sure the album tags match. You should use the disc# tag to split between discsAnother one: In Albums view I see 2 albums if I have a 2 cd box set. I can check logs & stuff later, but could it be due to different genres set to each cd of the set (I know tagging error, but I am not using genres too much).
Everything that works for TV should work for radio so I will have a quick look.It seemed to work very nicely, but some of the labels don't seem to be recognised (see attached .jpg).
Not yet. It depends on whether a dev has the time to pick this up.regarding Mantis 3396 - Is this open and planned for 1.3?
hi jameson!
do you think it would be possible to bring lyrics to the now playing screen? as far as i understood, it is not possible to integrate the mylyrics plugin in the now playing screen, but maybe one could show lyrics stored as mp3tag?
thanks and greetings!
Totally agree. I have played around a lot with this but as soon as I add more info to one screen it ends up becoming unusable via a remote. WinAmp / MediaMonkey etc are designed for control via a mouse rather than a remote so they can get much more on screen.@IchBinsShort: You can not compare a 10-foot-UI (see 10-foot user interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) with a normal PC SW UI. You have limited screen real estate since all text needs to be large. If you would try to build a table with lets say Title, Album, Artist, Genre & Year you would have to fit it in say 50 chars max. Otherwise you can not read it from 10 feet (3 m) distance.
Yes I understand, that a View equal like Winamp is not possible. But to me it is more about the functions of Winamp. For example in Winamp there is no fixed order of each level. On the fist view you can choose for example which of the Songs you should see. You can make a View which shows all Songs with a Rating better than 4. And on the next level you can choose between the Filters. For example you can Choose the "Genre" Filter, than you can choose on this Filter "House", and see all the Songs with Genre "House". And now you can set another Filter like "Year" and choose "2011", now you see the Songs only for "2011".
This is a function that I would be have in Mediaportal. Because in Mediaportal you have a fixed order. I hope you understand what I mean. My Englisch is not so good, that makes the explaining very difficult ;-)
For me that would be more confusing...Yes I understand, that a View equal like Winamp is not possible. But to me it is more about the functions of Winamp.
