is there a playlist database or not

by **kasje** on Wed Sep 20, 2006 8:43 pm

i'm using baddabings skin for a while now and suddenly when i pick a full cd to add to the playlist..i can't find the playlist anymore in the overlayplaylistscreen of baddabings skin.

i restarted xlobby with the default skin and yes theire was the playlist again. I wrote every down of the skineditor so i could see what the difference was..but i can not see any difference.

i even checked the color of the font....nothing.

how do i show the playlist in this category.

under the editor in that overlayplayscreen under category/general....under name it says playlist
when i look there under databases...i see m3uplaylist...but when i look under F2 ..there is no such database.

What am i doing wrong..or how do i make this new database?

tanx in advance

In short...there is no actual playlist database. This is kinda like a "special" category where the list is made directly from the Winamp playlist. I think it is done by internal Xlobby commands. To help in getting it back read this post:
http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.p ... highlight=

As for the m3uplaylist, the category list is derived from the directory Xlobby/playlists and is setup just like creating other databases (through Setup/database Import).

Hope this helps.

nope doesn't work.

i had that post alraedy tried..like i said..i compared differend skins and some work and others don't. The kiss skin doesn't work to..and the default skin works.
Very strange.
i made the new database (m3uplaylist) and linked it to a directory called playlist in xlobby.
so the playlist saving works. So it does the tric.
only the

For playlist: Create a category named playlist for the display use %position%. %display% for the info screen use nothing

doesn't work...nothing shows up.
i have no idea were the problem is

Another thing you could try. You mentioned that your using the Heavy Metal skin, and that at one time it worked for you. What would it take to copy over that xml file from the original skin? I think it is in the skins/Heavy Metal directory called playlist.xml.

One thing to ask before you try that. If you go to the skin editor/category, then click on the Databases tab, is anything highlighted there? Mainly "none"? Seems to me from what I have tried, all the categories where that was highlighted, I could get a playlist to show up.

Now the question that I can't answer for you, how to get rid of any highlights on that list?

by **lar282** on Thu Sep 21, 2006 6:26 am

maybe it helps by looking at the default(stevens) skin. He has playlist.rename,load,save and so on.

anyone have an idea
The only playlistscreen that works here is from the heavymetal x skin.

winamp version is 5.24

I do not think I understand what u are trying to do?

All playlists are saved in the directory
\Xlobby\playlists

they are not real databases

In the def skin I can load these databases. I can add songs and then save a playlist and rename delete and so on.

What are you trying to do, I failed to understand this?

Hi lar282,

the problem is when i want to play a full cd and i say in the musicdetail screen...add cd to queue ...the the first number starts to play...
then i at other numbers or cd to the queuelist...so when i go then to the playlistoverlay..normally i have to see this list of numbers..but it's empty.

thats my problem..i can not show the list of queue numbers

by **Marbles_00** on Thu Sep 21, 2006 2:25 pm

I am pretty surprise that by default, the playlist in those skins don't show up, especially in Steven's default skin.

You mention using Winamp 5.24. With all the problems other people are having with that version, have you tried a previous version of winamp?

I also made a typo in my previous post.

Seems to me from what I have tried, all the categories where that was highlighted, I could get a playlist to show up.

It should have been I COULDN'T get a playlist to show up. That's what I get for typing at 2 in the morning.

by **kasje** on Thu Sep 21, 2006 3:45 pm

i tried previous versions of winamp...i recopied the kiss skin and had a look at it..nope this playlist isn't working...i tried the default skin..nope..that playlist isn't working either. The only one that is showing a playlist is the heavymetal x skin.

i'm trying to figure out why.

i checked everybit twice..nope no difference between all the playlistskins.

the only thing i can come up with is that i tried to change the databases when i highlighted the database entry in the skin. Then, i tried to set it back to none...from then on, i couldn't get a playlist anymore.

i think that is problem is...that when you try to highlight an entry of the databases..you can not turn it back to none or whatever it has to be standard.

so now i have no ideas anymore

how to fix it.

by **Marbles_00** on Thu Sep 21, 2006 4:46 pm

You don't want to set it to "none"...you don't want to have anything selected period. That's where the problem is. I'm trying to find out where that setting is in the xml, but I haven't been able to find anything.

Currently I tried it on an experimental skin, and I can't get the playlist data for currently playing albums to show anymore. Currently selected in the category/database is "none", now I've been careful not to modifiy Steven's skin and it is working fine. In the Category/database, NOTHING is selected and it is working fine (same with all my other skins).

Now I'm not sure if this is a bug, or if we are just missing something.

by **Marbles_00** on Thu Sep 21, 2006 6:35 pm

Ok, I think I got it.

Goto the playlist xml file of whatever playlist is NOT working for you (whatever the name could be for a particular skin). Open it in a text editor of your choice. Scroll down so you can see the following code:

Code: Select all: <eventbutton> <imagename>playlist</imagename> <location>272,175,372,328</location> <navitem>True</navitem> <fontresource>medium text</fontresource> <font>Arial,3%,regular</font> <alignment>top left</alignment> <backgroundcolor>#2E5B99</backgroundcolor> <backgroundoutlinecolor>#FFFFFF</backgroundoutlinecolor> <backgroundoutlinesize>4</backgroundoutlinesize> <type>category</type> <database /> <detailscat /> <instantupdate>False</instantupdate> <mousewheel>page</mousewheel> <details /> <ratio>1:1</ratio> <columns>1</columns>

There could be more, or it may not even be in this order (this is taken from Steven's default skin). Now the culprit line is:

Code: Select all: <database />

Replace it with:

Code: Select all: <database>playlist</database>

You should be good to go.

Hopefully this works.

BUMP!

Good detective work there guys... I was having same problem, allthough i was suspicious about same tag u guys found as culprit in the end, i reached the quick confirmation here rather than stabbing it myself, cause im still skinning newb.

Thanks!
