Help needed regarding 'shuffle' and 'play track' defaults

[buffotoad]

I am trying to modify a skin. In the section for playing music, I can go to a menu which allows me to choose what action happens when I click on a song title. There are buttons for 'play the song' and 'add the song to playlist'. The default is to play the song. I would like the default to be 'add the song to playlist', but cannot figure out how to accomplish this change.

Also, same thing for 'shuffle' songs in the playlist. The default is to shuffle the songs. I cannot figure out how to change the default to play the songs in order.

Can anyone point me in the direction to change these?

Thanks.

in your startup group, you need to add events which will turn on the features you want.

1st of all, try to locate startup group. it is usually called "startup" but it's not a rule. it can be any group that has "startup" event in the "triggers" setup.

on the right-hand side of the setup window, in events, you'll see "triggers" tab. in there should be event-startup.

but most probably the group is called startup or similar.

then, under commands, add following events to startup group:

music->album add, to add albums to playlist
music->track add, to add tracks to playlist
or
music->shuffle, to toggle shuffle on/off

Since you say that shuffle is already on, that means it is being set somewhere... try searching the events if u can find it...

Hope this helps.

dalanik, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I was able to change both items. I am not very good at using the internal editing features in xlobby - I am more familar with editting the program files - I'm old-school and they make more sense to me.

Anyway, I edtted the file named '\xlobby\bskin\eventgroups\startup.xml' and was able to add a section for 'track add', so that fixed the first problem.

I wasn't abel to find anything in that module for shuffle, but I messed around in the xlobby screens - somehow I got shuffle turned off. I don't know what I did, but it worked. I hope I didn't mess something else up with my messing around in there.

Thanks for the help!
