The image below was my best guess of what you intended but it apparently isn't right. I also tried it with Album in place of where Name is in the image and that goofed things up but good. Any chance you can nudge me just a little further along?
Sure, I think we can get you there with just a little bit more effort.
What you were trying to do, in your screen shot, was to *define* a new view, specifically for JRemote, by laying out all of it's parameters. You can do this, but in this case, you probably don't want to. Instead, let's do it the easy way. Click on Albums and click the Remove button in the center. Ok, now it's gone.
Let's add the right one. Click on the Add button in the center. Go down to "Library Item from standard view", and find your Albums view that you modified recently to show the thumbnail text the way you like it. Click on that to add it. Make sure it got added under Audio in the location you want it. Drag it around, or use the move up and down buttons if you need to reposition it.
That should do it. Just restart MC and JRemote to have those changes show up.
While we're together again, can I ask you a question? How are you able to come up with the answers to questions like this so often? The only documentation I can find barely covers the basics. I've been able to answer a number of questions by searching but part of my problem is that I don't what terms to search for. I really appreciate your stepping in to help, hopefully I'm almost out of the woods.
I'm happy to help out; it's nice when someone appreciates it.
I've read a bunch of the wiki and a BUNCH of questions here. I've learned by experimenting with settings and things. In this particular case, I can't remember how I learned about customizing JRemote views. After I was told where it was, I did some experiments (numerous actually) and learned more about it.
I just tried to search the wiki for information about this and I was unable to locate it. It might be there, but I couldn't find it. Unfortunately, MC is such a big program that sometimes not everything is documented, or when it is, not always easy to find.
Many times a google search will work better than a wiki search because it can hit the JRiver forum and other forums too.
Keep asking questions here and you'll likely learn how to do nearly anything you want with MC. As always, good luck!
Brian.
