ListItem.IsSelected bug?

ListItem.IsSelected

does not work for me. I have to use

<visible>StringCompare(ListItem.Label,MusicPlayer.Album)</visible>
or <visible>StringCompare(ListItem.Label,VideoPlayer.Title)</visible>

... depending on container.content instead. Can anyone confirm before I trac it?

You have to use ListItem.IsPlaying... should work for movies, episodes & songs.

Thanks for the tip. Do you happen to know what's the difference between these 2:

ListItem.IsPlaying Returns whether the current ListItem.* info labels and images are currently Playing media
ListItem.IsSelected Returns whether the current ListItem is selected (f.e. currently playing in playlist window)

No idea... maybe IsSelected is obsolete and that's the reason why it's not working anymore.

IsSelected typically means it's highlighted for some reason (eg is the focused item for the context menu). I don't think there's many places you'd want to use it other that perhaps in the filemanager.

IIRC it's all done of the <selectedcolor> you specify in labels - i.e. you probably don't need to use ListItem.IsSelected anywhere.

OK, thanks for explanation.
