Is there a possible to have the trackinfo in the Artist/Album view ?
It would be nice that i can see the tracks and coverart in the Artist/albumview.

Thanks

No but you'd probably be able to something similar with tiles (introduced in v11)

I use the following code (based on somebody's code but modified by me:

Quote

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Track</title>
</head>

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" style="background-color:#F0F8FF">

<table border="0" bordercolor=black width="100%" cellspacing="5" height="50">
<tr>
<td width="135">
<font color="#000000">
<img border="0" src="[Image File]" onError="this.onerror=null;this.src='C:\\Programmer\\J River\\Media Center\\Data\\Tile Templates\\Default\\logo.png';" width="122" height="122" align="center"></font></td>
<td width="400"><font color="#000000"><font size="2">
               ';[Name]'from '[Album]' ([Date])

track #: >[track #]

By '[artist]'

Duration : [Duration]

[Genre]

</font>

</td>

</tr>
</table>

</body>

</html>

Which will show coverart on the very left and
Title from [Album (year)
track#
by artist
Duration: total time
genre

These are easy to modify and you should be able to make them pretty much how you'd like.

They are found in MC's folder under data\tile templates

Yeah, sure I can try... Remember this is my second language though, so I may not be as clear as you'd like

So tiles were introduced in Media Center 11, and they're IMO great.

It's basically a html code so your able to have it showing almost anything. An example on what a html-code could look like was shown above. You can edit them for personal need quite easily and therefore they're quite easy to customize to a specific skin etc.

They (or currently it) are(/is) found in ..\Media Center 11\Data\Tile Templates\default\
you can edit the index.html fx with the code I posted above. As of now, remember to take BACKUP of index and other html files as they will get overwrited when you install a newer version of MC! This will hopefully get fixed in the future as well as support for multiple tiles.

Specific enough

THereès no harm on trying 11... It can run side by side with 10...
