Feature request - 3D Wall, add to Playing now - Please!!!
« on: June 23, 2009, 08:29:51 am »

Ability to add the entire album, or a single (or selected) songs from an album to the current Playing Now list when using the 3D view/wall. The 3D Wall is a VERY "spouse friendly" interface except for lack of these basic features.

Thanks!

A pop up menu with the ability to add track (next played), add track (play now) and play could do the trick. I can't stand to replace the playlist all the time my self either. That's one of the reasons I never use 3D browsing.

The Cover text also have to scroll down when you move down to the 9'th or 10'th track. It's a bit lame that you can't see more than 10 tracks. It's been like this for a looong time now. Should be fairly simple to add I hope.

not related to playing now but i thought these 2 ideas could be good for the 3d wall.

1.  when moving left or right, the tiles need to all rotate in the opposite direction giving them a true 3d effect.  right now the 3d doesnt do much for me visually.

2.  customize how many rows are avaiable.

It could look like other audio views (artists, albums,...) where a bottom location shows the files of the selected or searched album(s) in the 3D wall. The 3D wall would be the top location.
Would it be difficult to implement?
Please, consider this. Then, MC14 would be unbeatable!

I definitely agree with that last post. When you have an album selected in the 3D wall it needs to show artist/album text at the bottom of the screen as well as some text showing what track is currently playing. And please, please give us the ability to right click on a track (or push enter on the remote) and have options for "add next to play", "Add shuffle all" etc. The 3D wall is gorgeous, but the lack of these features doesn't make it real practical to have up on my big screen as the primary music playing interface in my house.

Gracias.

Hi,

It would be nice to let us know if there's any chance that this feature will be implemented in MC14. This would be so great.
Thanks,

In Media Center 14.0.31 (available in about a week):
NEW: 3D album views allow playing, adding, shuffling, and adding as the next to play.

Smooth! I can finally use the 3D wall for something usefull :) I love the way you added more options like that. Simple yet effective. Seems like the selection is remembered as well. Except for exiting MC that is.

I have a great big long wall.  What about the possibility of adding the alphabet to the top.  Or to go to a certain letter by pressing the appropriate key...?

I'd like higher resoloution thumbnails from a greater distance.  I'm fairly sure my machine could handle it.

It would be nice if the names of atists/albums show all the time, not just when scrolling fast.
