Title: Beta track info out. Comments needed!
Post by: escaflo on September 10, 2004, 01:45:20 pm

I've just created a beta track info template. Please check it out here (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=23522&start=0) and let me know if you all got any comments.

All constructive comments are welcome!

Please comments as much as possible.

Naming for it are helpful too. :)

Wow!  We get to give suggestions for a free template.  That's great - thanks.

I use my NTSC RPTV as an interface, so I would love a template that shows cover art along with basic track info that is easily read at 800x600 resolution.  Desired track info is the basic Track Title, Album, Artist, Year, Rating.  Would also like the analysis data such as BPM and Tempo.  It would be great if we could modify Rating right on the template like in the Media spreadsheet (by simply clicking on the stars).

Next step would be to add a scroll window with the lyrics and/or artist info etc.

Option of showing visuals in a side panel or not would be nice, but I usually switch to full screen if I care to watch visuals so would prefer to use the limited screen space for the above info.

Thanks for considering my input.

It would be great if we could refresh the stars on the track info when we change rating by remote controll or keyboard shortcuts (Shift+Ctrl+Number).
Maybe automatically refresh after every x seconds?

Beautiful!!

Some suggestions: Could I have Album / Track info combined in the "playing now heading". I play classics and only get for example "Andante" in the heading. Instead of "Brahms: Symphony No. 4 - Andate"  - Hope you get what I mean.

ALso would it be possible to show the "comment" column below the artist in the details listing. This is where I keep recording info etc.

Like Artist: Evgeny Kissin

The BPM info is may be not so imprtant and could be skipped instead ?

Many thanks !! and again, the best track info plugin I have seen in a long long time !!

VERY COOL!

Any chance getting a modified version that uses larger fonts (or automatically switches :-)) for fullscreen mode?

Ask and you will get it.. :)

Auto font-resize version (might not be low resolution friendly)
Change the font-size as required in style2.css under .TrackInfo

Get it here (http://student.cbs.curtin.edu.au/~12255106/inDevelopment_autoResize.zip).


Hope you enjoy it.

Comments in the other section please.... :)
