Album art for any album listing
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:12:10 UTC
Hope i'm not duping, if so sorry again. When doing a Browse Artist / Aritist / All Songs It shows album art for the first on the list, however, is it possible to display maybe 5 or as many albums included for that artist in row at a lower resolution of like 100x100 or even 200x200 the album covers for all the different albums included?
That level is a track listing actually, so not really sensible to have many album artwork nor in fact even the one that DOES show. The problem is that the server THINKS that it is a list of tracks on a single album. The server already supports the ability to show album covers whenever there is a list of albums even below the "browse artwork" level. however, there are some changes in the split-scanner branch that change how this will be done. I'm holding off completing the effort until the branch is merged back into the trunk. I'll relabel this accordingly and assigned to me for later.
some preliminary work being done in the split-scanner branch as of change 7319, and change 7328
Created attachment 1290 [details] add gallery view toggle option to browse pages This is the current state of play. The idea here is to get rid of "browse by artwork" and simply have Albums available in "list" or "gallery" view. This UI would add a couple graphics for toggling the view, and every album level could then show in the current style. The patch also makes use of a cookie to track the last chosen state per browser.
most recent patch left here for safe keeping, pending approval for 6.5 (currently 'feature complete') or for future use.
Created attachment 1316 [details] proper mime first one it buggered, wrong type. this is a better archive.
As far as my existing plans, this is completed. Moser, Nokia770 and Touch skins are not altered for support of this feature either becuase they have an owner or becuase they don't immediately lend themselves to the new UI. I will leave this up to their respective owners to decide and implement or not. please reopen if there are issues or missing implementations.
