EXAMPLE 1: [/B]-SEARCH STRING-: JPS, -FORMAT NAME:- PEEL, -DISPLAYED TITLE FORMAT STRING-: (JOHN PEEL SESSION) ON THE LMS SETTINGS > INTERFACE PAGE YOU'D FIND A NEW TITLE FORMAT UCTI_PEEL (= PLUGIN ID PREFIX + FORMAT NAME IN UPPER CASE) CREATE AND CHOOSE A NEW TITLE FORMAT: TITLE UCTI_PEEL NOW EVERY VIEW THAT USES TITLE FORMATS WILL DISPLAY TRACKS WITH JPS IN THEIR COMMENT TAGS AS -TITLE NAME (JOHN PEEL SESSION)-. OTHERWISE JUST THE TITLE NAME. [B]EXAMPLE 2: I have a collection of songs that I like very much by bands I saw live, some are rated, some are not, very different songs from all over the place. -search string-: favlive, -format name:- sawthemlive, -displayed title format string-: black heart icon I use the custom title format to display some icon on the now playing screen of my -Boom- device using the -Music Information Screen- plugin. there should be a custom title format called UCTI_SAWTHEMLIVE on the LMS settings > Interface page I'll create a new one called RL_RATING_STARS UCTI_SAWTHEMLIVE and on the LMS settings > Player > Music Information screen page > Screensaver Two lines (standard) so I can display both, track ratings and this icon I choose this title format for the upper left corner to display available track ratings and the black heart in case the current song belongs to that group. I'm not sure if my explanations helped but I hope they gave you at least an idea of what you can do with this plugin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114968 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
