[QUOTE="ZetaVu, post: 43550, member: 17069"] Ok, still playing with the xml file, figured out how to add pages and popups, so I'm gonna spend some time this weekend making some basic navigations and setting up some pages for future use. WHat I'm thinking of is a page to display lyrics if we can actually display that. Another page would be for a list of selected songs. Now with both of these, like shuffle, I am in need of guidance, from anyone who is in the know. I see how the now playing data comes, #Play.Current.Title for song title, question is how would I call the titles of other songs in the play que? (tried #Play.Next.Title, worth a shot) How would I call lyrics or album art for the current selection? I have tried to dig through all the MP info I can and cannot find a list of the nominclature. If I had that, I could try to populate a selected songs list, maybe 10 per page, where you could select the song and immediately jump to it. Basically, is there a list or instructions anywhere that could tell me how things are labelled in MP? Ok, now some issues I found. When I built a new database in rc3, if I select unknown under an artist, I play ALL the songs that have album as unknown, not just that artist. I checked my old database that I sent you, and that works fine with or without indexing. Not quite sure why that happened. Also, I cannot select an artist name and play all songs by that artist, it lets me select the artist but does nothing when I select play. I also started playing with looking at other databases. I have a recipe database that I thought would be cool to access. However, I can get as far as making the screen for it, I assume the actual searching of fields is done by your program. Let me know if there's anything editable I can do to setup other databases or if you have to (main reason being my lack of programing ability) If the fields of databases could be defined in xml files, then users at my low level could edit how their databases function. That would also let users make their own personalized skins and orientations for the plugin just by xml editting, which would be cool. [/QUOTE]
