Is it possible to show a certain view only when a certain playlist is active.

I want to show the Character View only when the user has clicked the "Kids" icon and the "kids" playlist is running.

String compare on the path I would guess

Got it, the path of the playlist. Testing now. Thanks!

How do you do this exactly? StringCompare(info,string) I get but what is the info that you should compare to special://skin/extras/playlists/hd5.1soundonly.xsp for example?

something like this perhaps?

Code:
SubString(ListItem.Path,.xsp,right)

Yeah I thought about that but isn't ListItem.Path the path of the selected movie?

I don't have ability to test this right now...

nope, it's the path of the selected item in any list,
not just movies.

I'm trying to do something similar, but I want to make a few controls visible when a particular playlist is loaded in the container. Is that possible? I've tried a few different combinations, but couldn't get it to work.

UPDATE: Should have kept looking...found the solution further down the search results.

Code:
<visible>stringcompare(container.folderpath,PLAYLISTPATH)</visible>
