My Music Playlist - Filename instead of ID3? (1 Viewer)

[Furious Yellow]

MediaPortal Version: 2.04
Windows Version: XP

Is there any way to get MP to show the filename of a track when viewing "Current Playlist"?

I can get it to show the filename in the main My Music view but as soon as I add a song with no ID3 tag to the playlist it comes up in "Current Playlist" as "Unknown - Unknown"..

I downloaded the source and made some adjustments myself. Now I have ID3 displayed when available, and filename displayed when tags are not available. And this is not only for current playlist, but also for "now playing" screen and that small scrolling text under the small visualisation. I also made playlist not play automatically when I add a song to it. I just don't know how to send this to you, cause I dont know which assemblies were affected by these changes. Maybe some of the portal programmers could help, or you could compile the source yourself after I send you instructions on what to change.

your windowplugin.dll should be enough - but I doubt you compiled against 0.2.0.4...

I downloaded the SVN on 13th of august. Will the dll work for later(so far) releases? It will not hurt to try!

please also submit your changes to sf.net I'd be interested to have a look at it!

OK, I will. But I'm not a programmer so I will be a little embarrassed as my "code" probably doesn't comply with any coding standards...
Is sf.net=sourceforge? I hope I'll find a way to do this. If not, I'll post again.

I don't have a clue how to do this! Either you could help me or I could send it to you via e-mail!
