Possible to include tag info in Xion display?

[verciretti]

Is it possible to include tag info other than Title and Artist in the display?
I'd like to display info like album and year, that'd be cool

Thanks in advance.

Thanks! Now... by any chance, do you know the layer names that must be used?

I've just updated the Layer information on the Help page to include these, but here is a quick run down:

To use them you would call your layers as follows:

Code: Select All Code

track title

or

Code: Select All Code

track artist

etc

You can actually combine a couple in the same string to create custom scrollers, but I don't recommend doing this as you can't dictate the order just yet.

For example:

Code: Select All Code

track title artist year

Will produce something like:

Code: Select All Code

Killing The Right - The Living End - 1996

It won't matter what order the title artist year is in above, the internal ordering is as follows:

Title, Aritst, Album, Year, Genre, Comment.

So like I said, if you do use this, stick to just 1 unless you really don't mind about the order.

Hope that help!
