Title: connecting to library server, how to show artist, album genre in playing now?
Post by: HTPC4ME on June 03, 2010, 10:40:44 pm
 my htpc connects to my library server and when i choose to play music then goto playing now-list, all that shows up on right side under the cover art of the track playing is keywords.. (customize view... if so where is this setting?)  can i make it so it shows me the artist, album, duration genre,keywords etc?

thanks

Right-click on the column heading.
So if the keywords field is showing, right-click on the word keywords.
Start clicking on fieldnames and it will put a checkmark next to them.

In the playing now window.
At the top is the coverart or a visualization showing.
Then the bottom part is a list of the songs that are in the queue.
Right above the list of songs is a row that shows the titles of the fields.
Right-click on one of the field titles.

yeah I was talking about standard view.

For theater view, I can see the customize file info panel setting but I don't think that's it.
When I go to list, I see coverart and the song title.
Can't find where to set that if yours shows a different field.
Does it do it regardless of which theater view theme you have selected?
Might need an answer from staff on where the setting is if it's the same in every theme.

ok on server side in theater view playing now - info : it shows artist,album,name,date,duration, keywords
server side theater view playing now - List:  it shows cover art, artist, and keywords.. if i want to add more to list...EX year, duration album etc.. how does one do that? i'm not seeing where to do that in customize view.

on HTPC when searching for servers connecting to server
HTPC in theater view playing now - Info : it shows artist,album,name,date,duration, keywords
HTPC in theater view playing now - List: it shows cover art and keywords thats it. it doesnt show artist, but it does on server end. and like server end is it possible to show more fields in playing now list view.

Really? In Customize File Info Panel, select the Audio template and one of the "missing" fields. Is the Show value set to "Always show" or "Show only in small view"? "Large view" is what appears in PN Info, while "small view" are the details that appear below the cover in PN List.
