Sorry guys, just had to keep this my music thread near the top as it is one of the best in depth development topics we've had in ages.

I saw frodo did some work on MyMusic these days, fixing some bugs. At least that's what written in changelog :

# MediaPortal mymusic:

# MediaPortal MyMusic:
On 13/03/2006 [19:46:17] _Frodo_ added the following change: fixed 0000656: Auto shuffle playlist on load is not working

# MediaPortal mymusic:
On 13/03/2006 [19:27:17] _Frodo_ added the following change: fixed 0000655: Saving playlists generates an empty file with only #extm3u in it

:lol: It's been a painfully busy couple of days at work so not much time for MP

I was, however, able to commit the changes posted here

Hi SteveV,

hopefully the busy days are over , so I can make a request which has been made some month (years?) ago (not in this thread, as far as I can remember):

can you make it possible to burn an audio-cd from playlist? It should be possible with Gucky's burner-plugin. The playlist should be limited to 79 Minutes to fit on a cd-r.

Would be great, if you can manage it

Steve, I was told you made the Now Playing section?

Got a question.
The skin id's 9 and 10 are hardcoded the playtime and duration.
Why not use the allready available tags #currentplaytime and #currentremaining ?

These r allready used in different parts of MP (in B2 for the tv osd and video osd) this would make it more consistent.

I wanted to change this myself but as the tags r hardcoded now MP crashed when these 2 r missing (id 9 and 10)

Hope to talk to ya soon about it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll make the change when I get home from work.

thanks

i've been followin MP for a couple months now, and i want to say thanks to SteveV for the work he's put into the music plugin.

It's swayed my choice from mythtv to a windows based MC.

THANKS!

Would it be possible to load the available WMP plugins while playing music through the WMP engine ?

Right now i'm using winamp as player, because that way the (winamp) volumelogic plugin gets loaded. I also have the WMP version available, but that won't load through mediaportal.

Since the WMP visualizations get loaded, it might as wel be possible / just as easy to load the other plugins.

Hey Steve - a quick suggestion:

when you're in database views, and click play on anything that's not an album (ie, artist, genre, etc), the playlist is sorted alphabetically. Since that basically results in a random playlist anyway, can you make it shuffle this list? That way, if i hit play on an artist or genre it will start randomly playing songs from them, instead of always playing the same (basically random) order which it is now?

Hi.

Searched many threads but got directed this way:

Does MP fully support .ape files? My tags shows up fine the first time entering the folder, but afterwards all files within folder shows up as "unknown". Any pointers?

Great work on my music!!!
