The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,
I really like what you are doing and always have been supported to open source projects like this one. I find out that it is really easy to change/upgrade skin on my own. But I find out one problem. While using playlist for multicast TV I modify the information about the track, so I can see what channel ("title" in media information) is playing instead of annoying "location" in media information (stream with IP etc.). With no skin mode it is working correctly. But in skin mode i got only that "annoying" location showing in the playlist. Have try google and this forums but could't find any relative answer. Maybe one possible solution will be to rebuild code but I don't like it as approach. Maybe only if you will rebuild with such a patch also your repositories....Or is there another solution?

Thanks for advice

Same here. I created skin but I can't find a way to display any additional info available in 'skinless' mode (artist, album, duration). Since I'm using VLC as DTS audio player it would be really nice to add some extended info to playlist (tags retrieved from pl file) and format them via "playlist row format" param in updated version of playlist class

So I am not the first one who wants more information in the playlist. Anything new in this issue? I have try to modify the source code but I think the modification of variables in playtree.cpp is beyond my limit. And even the compiling on the linux was pain, on my favorite Centos distribution even impossible.
