Hi Guys
I have been playing with code for the last few weeks, trying to wrap my head around coding with the intention to helping out in the not too distant future. For now, lets just say, coding is hard as hell. Never had a clue.
Anyhow, trying to figure out how to display album details on the home screen. I am indeed trying to figure out "Latest/Recently Added" widget stuff, but album/artist related details are baffling me a bit. I use the following to call info to the home screen: Container(id).ListItem.Property()
I have used this method successfully with my video library, quoting various details like "Plot Summary" and "Year" successfully on the home screen. In terms of Albums/Artist details, I can't for the life of me get any details to display on the Home Screen. I can use Container(id).ListItem.Label and this displays "Artist" and "Album" successfully. Unfortunately, I cannot get Container(id).ListItem.Property() to work with anything.
I have tried "ListItem.Property(Summary)" for the album review and "ListItem.Property(Year)" for the album release year, but have had no luck. Do these tags even exist for Album related information? If so, where can I find a list of these properties I can use. I have checked the WIKI, but yeah, I'm a girl, so I may have missed a specific page. My structure is as follows for displaying info.
<label>$INFO[Container(7455).ListItem.Property(Summary)</label>
Furthermore, have had a problem with the album rating not displaying properly on the Home Screen as well. "Container(id).ListItem.Property(rating), rating, .png" works for Movies, but not Albums. Any help super code masters?
