Music Library

[jathef]

I have 1.3.7 installed and just now adding my music collection to GBPVR. I have been playing with the built in Music Library and just have a few questions.

Is there anyway to build a playlist for music or import a playlist? I read in the WIKI that you should be able to change the view to an icon view but I don't see where to configure that in the config program. Keep in mind I am using the slick skin.

Does everyone else out there use the default music library or what do you suggest? I have one computer with 4 MVPs connected and most of my music is in mp3 format but I will be converting some wma files over to mp3.

Finally have the wife onboard with this and adding music is the last step.

Thanks in advance!

No. Its just a simple file/directory browser based music player. It doesnt do play lists etc, but you can recursively play directories. If you need more than this, you'd probably need to look into music plugins like http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/Music or http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/MusicLibrary2

Only some skins support multiple views. The slick skin doesnt. If you use the blue skin, you'll see a 'mode' button in the music library that changes the view.

Thanks Sub for the info. I did try the first link you provided but did not get it to work but I will probably try again.

Not sure if this is what you mean, but you can play a playlist with Music Library - obviously you would need to create this outside of GBPVR and then browse to it in Music Library...
