Feature Request: Just the Now Playing View

[pmcdonough8133]

I know there isn't much development on this anymore but would it be possible to get a minimal/lightweight version of Georgia where it's just the Now Playing view without any of the library/playlist access nor any of the menus/transport buttons? Something that could be inserted into a spider monkey panel in any CUI layout. The now playing view is beautiful but I find I prefer a more utilitarian and functional view for browsing my library.

Alternatively, if this is something you're not interested in, could you point me in the direction for where to look to ensure I grab every last section of code that interacts with those bits so I can try this myself? I've dug around in the code a bit and have located some of the code that is responsible for those sections I am asking to be removed. I have made small modifications in other places for my own usage but there's quite a lot of code and commenting out bits to trial and error my way through this feels a little daunting. Perhaps just specifically the sections where Georgia looks to read the data for the library/playlist at a minimum.

I might be able to whip up something like this. It may not be ideal since there's a lot of excess code you won't be using, but I don't think this would be too hard to implement.

That said, it might just be better to do it as a foo_uie_webview. This is something I'm planning to work on (since you can do beautiful animations with cdArt), but I've just been too busy with work and consulting and personal projects, etc.

I do have some minor bugfixes and such that deserve a new version of Georgia for the few people out there who haven't switched over to -Reborn, so if you'd really prefer it here over the webview, let me know and I'll see if there are any serious roadblocks to doing it.

I'll defer to your preference on this as I can do either. Just a quick question, will the foo_uie_wbview version be eventually shipped as a single file or similar to georgia where it will have editable js files? I mainly ask as I like to make small changes to what metadata fields some parts map off of as well as change how the logic to display artist logos on multi-artist projects is handled. (I am assuming this is the current work on the foo_uie_webview version: https://github.com/kbuffington/georgia-webview)

I still enjoy this version of Georgia over Reborn as I am able to more-or-less embed it in my current CUI layout as a Now Playing view.
