Xion Community

Dear Cliff
Please can you fix it for us sad gits who like to listen to particular songs on repeat

Repeat to be 3 state + an indi layer for track
Off(current), All(current) & Track(new)

thanks

I second this lol

Cliff, are you considering making this feature, kind of like you did the stop button?

bump

I've added this for build 118.

Repeat button now toggles between Repeat Playlist, Repeat Track and Repeat Off.

I've also added an indicator for Repeat Track called 'indi_repeattrack' or 'indi_repeattrk'

Cliff

yay an oldie but a goodie nice Thanks Cliff

Sweet man thanks for this!

However...I'm a little concerned to what this will do to the thousands of users of older skins without the 3 indicators involved. That's why I suggested leaving the current button as it is with just 2 states for Off and rpt Track and have the rpt PL option on the PL itself. If the current repeat button suddenly has 3 states, all skins before this point will disfunction and confuse everybody.

That said, I would much prefer it all on a single 3 state button, but I'm just thinking about the compatability. But I guess all things have to upgrade at some point so screw it, have 3

If the new public build is marketed as "Xion 2" and not just an update, it will attract more downloads and hopefuly more skin author updates so we have less problems

Peace, Lance

Here's how I see the new tristate button working with older skins to avoid any compatibility issues.

1. If old skin and does not have any repeat icons = no change
2. If old skin and does have 1 or 2 repeat icons only = then no change on repeat track icon (ie the track icon uses the repeat playlist icon as a fallback)
3. new skin should have all 3, if not falls back to 2 then 1

Ok 2. is not ideal, however, I would also have thought the status would be changed in the songticker i.e. Repeat: Track, Repeat: Playlist, Repeat: Off

Tell us this is what is implemented (or not ) Cliff

This next release won't be Xion 2.0.

I didn't separate this into two separate commands, I wanted it all as one.

I was coming up with all kinds of ideas to support it backwards, but its overkill. I'm NOT allowing a skin to change functionality. That's even more confusing. 'When I use skin X I can only get repeat to repeat playlist or be off, but when I use skin Y, I can get all 3 options, WTF?!?!?'

Here's how it works:

There is only one button still. The repeat button. Its just a toggle now. Most skins use just a button so this breaks NO functionality.

The ONLY thing that's changed is there is a new indicator. A LOT of skins don't even use indicators so this shouldn't be too big a problem.

Cliff

My XSe7en skin will be broken if this is the case.

But I would be willing to change it.

So should everyone else, so I'm with Cliff on this one. It's not a hard fix to imply if your skin is broken by this.
