Where to debug?

Hi, you can do this by changing the skin.ini.

Follow these steps:

  1. ensure that there’s an attribute set for “Year” in your database

  2. open the skin.ini-editor in the playout-window

  3. specify the year as one of eight attributes with this code

[Playlist]
Attribute1=Year

(change Year to whatever the attribute is named. You can even add up to 8 additional attributes for BPM, Album etc. with this method, naming it then Attribute2, Attribute3 etc.)

  1. set the order of your playlist columns. Here is an example, feel free to change to your needs
[Playlist]
Columns=Timing,Icon,Title,Attribute1,Attribute2,Ramp,Link,Duration,Time

Please note: The way how to display Artist and/or Song Title is now set with another entry in the skin.ini

[Playlist]
TitleDisplayMode=

Attach one of these:

Title
JoinTitleArtist
JoinArtistTitle
HSplitTitleArtist
HSplitArtistTitle
VSplitTitleArtist
VSplitArtistTitle

This is a short summary for your question, if you want to dive deeper in the skin.ini please read this introduction here:

Here’s what I’m using as an example - you can copy it and remove unwanted parts. It may help you to understand the settings better:

[Playlist]
PeakmeterColumnVisible=off
Attribute1=Jahr
//Debug=on
