Fixed playlist possible ?

[kwaakie]

Hi there,

I was wondering if it's possible to put a playlist into the main window, so not seperated.
Like when i click a button the playlist will scroll out of a slot or something.
I've tried to put this code into my main window xml:

code:


<component

      x="0"

      y="0"

      w="0"

      relatw="1"

      h="0"

      relath="1"

      noshowcmdbar="1"

      autoopen="1"

      autoclose="1"

      param="guid:{45F3F7C1-A6F3-4ee6-A15E-125E92FC3F8D}"

    />

But that won't work

Tnx !

and when I do this, the main window (of which it is a part) wont show up.
I've tried deleting studio.xnf, setting the xy coords to something sensible and nonconflicting (even though it was already on its own layer), and made sure the skin wasnt attempting to load the same component anywhere else (although I think we should be allowed to have multiple instances of the same component.. maybe).

what gives?

[kwaakie]

yeah, i have the same problem. And the only way to get it back is to delete the studio file, or reinstall WA.
Is there really no other way to fix this ?
I think it should be possible...

[dead_honky]

no really
*bump*
I saw that Adil's noir was supposed to have the playlist in the main window, and doesn't, so I'm sure someone else has run into this.
shed some light please?

i believe this is a bug in winamp3.

i have run into this same prob 3 times over in enefex (avs, pl, ml) it needs fixing soon

Yup, I had the same exact experience. What gives with the playlist anyhow? I'd really like to see this skinnable with XML, and I've had a lot of difficulty trying to figure out just how the playlist skinning works.

I'm working on a skin where I'm trying to make the playlist pop out in a drawer, and then the list of playlists pop out of another drawer from that. I'm thinking maybe I can write some maki to just move around the playlist as an entire separate container :-/

[mc^^^^]

the playlist is all one component, you cannot seperate the song list from the playlists (should be an option - no rush though)

you can however, seperater the button line at the bottom (see aero)

I've been looking around in the maki lib files, and I found a bunch of functions that work on a "List" object:

extern List.addItem(Any _object);
extern List.removeItem(int pos);
extern Any List.enumItem(int pos);
extern Int List.findItem(Any _object);
extern int List.getNumItems();
extern List.removeAll();

If the playlist were accessible SOMEHOW in maki, perhaps it may be possible to build up a playlist from scratch. Any thoughts on this?

[dead_honky]

you might be able to build a window in maki that is skinnable, and that is just a dupe of the contents of the actual playlist.. i.e. mirroring its contents, but having different and separate functionality (maki one skinnable, component does all its jobs).. and thats prolly a good idea.

actually rebuilding the playlist from scratch in maki though, thats a bad idea. playlist responsible for too much, and interacts with too many other components to make it anything aside from a huge hassle.

but a skinnable window that just mimics what content is in the actual playlist component.. any takers?
