ML3 Nightly testing

[mvallevand]

I used to have in ML2 that you could hit the red button on a playlist (from the play list screen) and it would randomise it and play it. Ther
backend code that Martin needs to perform this should still be there, it should be a matter of connecting it up when he gets around to that point.

Ok psycik, I re-enabled this too.

- Now Interfaces.dll.log generations are correct (except they are not Vista/Win 7 aware)

Martin

Logs rolling over nicely - thanks for that.

A minor issue: when I open the Home menu popup I see
Collections
Go to Top
Icon View
etc...

If I select Icon View, Icon View is displayed. If I open the Home menu again I now see
List View
Go to Top
Icon View
etc...

The only way to get Collections back again is to exit and restart pvrx2.

Thanks Alex I will look at this. How is navigation in icon mode supposed to work if the l/r arrows exit the title panel? Maybe I will just take it out.

Icon View is not something I ever use - I just went into nightly tester mode and started pushing buttons
Navigation is a problem - and IMHO I can't see much use for Icon Mode in ML3 anyway - the album art is displayed bottom left already.

FYI ML3 is now 'Live' on my dev machine - I will be rolling it out to my MVP/NMT servers right after Christmas - good work.

Yeah Icon view was just something I was playing with to give the eye candy police something to look at. I'm not sure how practical it will be in real life, as with 4000 tracks or so the memory usage will be pretty high and load times will take a while (it's why I implemented partial list loads though)

[mvallevand]

I might add the icon view to the top view since it could have album art and to keep the logic in the code otherwise it will be removed.

For today only some small fixes, inserting a song into the playlist is harder than I thought it would be

- Selecting Icon View would "lose" the ability to select Collections
- Red/Ctrl-R on an M3U playlist will shuffle play the playlist

A few UI changes

- end Playlist Playing will return the the Library view if that is where you start
- Enter/OK on Artist or Album will act like "Left arrow"
- Enter/OK on Track will queue the track (Yellow/Ctrl-Y)

- Enter/OK on Track will queue the track (Yellow/Ctrl-Y)

I always left this action different. I know a lot of people liked the enter/ok button on the track to queue it, but I used the enter/ok to show meda details of the track.

You can see in ML3 I started to implement this, and I was trying to use a pop up list to do it, so I didn't have to construct a skin file with field name and field value.

I has this at least popping up I think but not having the details filled in.

This works great! Between this and Collections I'm a very happy music listener.
thanks again

Merry Christmas ans Happy New Year!

[mvallevand]

Merry Christmas and a happy holiday to everyone. Of course this means there's not much computer time today, just enough for a daily.

- .cue file support
- screen saver returned to library when activated on the playlist screen

Interfaces.dll

- Cue count was right but the first FILE entry was not being returned,

@psycik, I will be bringing back the details on the enter, right now it wasn't a popup, but a list box which didn't meet me needs.
