Mp3tag Lister Plugin

[fnheiden]

I've just released mp3tag.wlx - a basic lister plugin to display ID3v2- and ID3v1-tags of MP3-files.

You can download it from
http://www.mp3tag.de/download/tc/wlx_mp3tag.zip

With best regards,

Thanks a lot!

Florian,
great job! I just tested it on some of my mp3s and it works perfectly.
Thanks very much!

Hello

This sounds interesting. I've downloaded the plugin, and installed it (following the README file and replacing the path with my own), but then, I don't know how to view the MP3 tags.
Is it F3 / Shift+F3, or something similar ? Isn't there any file extension to specify ?

Thanks for your answers
Geoffrey

2Geoffrey :

Probably, just like me you have Irfanview installed and configured to be used with lister.
Logically, at least in my case, if I press F3, Lister/Irfanview will play the MP3 instead of displaying anything.

Just use the key you normally use to view a file with Lister (default: F3). You don't need to specify an extension.

- Restarting TCMD after installing a plugin or changing your wincmd.ini is a good idea (like chriss said)

and

- if you have more Lister Plugins installed, don't forget to give them all an unique number. This is from my wincmd.ini:

[ListerPlugins]
0=C:\TotalCMD\wlx\fileinfo.wlx
1=C:\TotalCMD\wlx\ieview.wlx
2=C:\TotalCMD\wlx\iniview.wlx
3=C:\TotalCMD\wlx\listdoc.wlx
4=C:\TotalCMD\wlx\office.wlx
5=C:\TotalCMD\wlx\SyntaxColorizer.wlx
6=C:\TotalCMD\wlx\symbolview\SymbolView.wlx
7=C:\TotalCMD\wlx\sysinfo\SystemInfo.wlx
8=C:\TotalCMD\wlx\borlandview\SynUs.wlx
9=C:\TotalCMD\wlx\mp3tag.wlx

As said, if one has configured the Lister to play multimedia
and / or Irfanview intergration it doesn't display but plays.
Only on first invokation of Quick view it displays
but going to next file it plays again.

Clearly there is a conflict of how Lister should know what the user wants.

This is IMHO a bug, because also in TC551 beta, this problem persists and you cannot cycle through plugins while in "real" multimedia mode.

[pdavit]

A similar situations and a possible workaround is here: http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=162

Similarly you can invoke let’s say Winamp by pressing Enter on a mp3 file and configure TC for text viewing mp3 files with a proper association. I don’t know though if in this case there will be an association conflict with IrfanView as the case here is a bit more complex than the above topic!

Thank you all for the nice feedback about the new plugin

Regarding the play/view quirk, I've disabled the 'Multimedia'-option in my configuration. This displays the ID3-tag by default and if I want to play the file I press 4 within lister.

Hope this helps,

The trick works fine ! I had the same problem... (MP3 Played instead pf getting the Tags) Thanks !

[Geoffrey]

Indeed disabling the 'Multimedia' from the viewer config solves the problem.

Thanks for your help

Indeed disabling the 'Multimedia' from the viewer config solves the problem.

At my Total Commander it solves only for F3. When using Ctrl+Q (that is more useful) only first file shows tag. The others play mp3.

How on earth didn’t I think of that! I’m lost lately! It’s probably all this sleeping at 5am waking up at 12am!

Do you think this problem relies upon the plug-in itself or is it a TC behaviour?! (oh, what have I just done! I’ve accused TC! That’s blasphemy! )
