Nikolay,

One question I have about Track Info SDK that is not completely clear to me....  Since a track info page is an HTML file, can I use scripts, DHTML, and the MJAutomation interface within a track-info HTML page.?

Assuming the answer is Yes, can I make a track info PIP within Hairstyle or within the "normal" full-screen view?

Thanks!
Soundman

This is great, nice to see it being extended
but...
you knew there would be a but  ;)

It'd be even nicer to be able to queries as well
Something along the lines of

TrackInfo_Has(Lyrics)
inserting 0 or 1 into the generated html (or True/False)

This would simplify decision making in javascript,
eg automatically swapping to a lyrics page if it has them etc

What do you think  ?

Quote

TrackInfo_Has(Lyrics)
inserting 0 or 1 into the generated html (or True/False)

New Track Info plug-in in the new build will have the ability to query if a field is empty or not. (look for TrackInfo_IsEmpty)

Oops, spoke too soon
We have a teeny problem here

Javascript is case sensitive  ;)
Could you change it to lowercase true and false please

We can work around it with string comparisons, but plain boolean would just be 'nicer'  :)
