Shows tracks from your library that are related to a selected track
Description
This addon adds menu items and a toolbar button that allow you to easily find all the tracks in your library from an album, artist, genre, year, album artist, or playlist. Using the right click context menu you can find tracks related to the selected track (or tracks) and if you use the toolbar button you can find tracks related to the either the currently playing track or the selected track/tracks. The toolbar button menu also contains a list of all the playlists that contain the currently playing or currently selected track, which when selected will focus on that playlist.
Thanks to the guys at songbird-dev (Stephen Lau and James Moschou) for helping me make this and thanks to the translators.

Awesome.
nickm
Thanks for the comments guys, I should be updating this puppy in the next few weeks.
nkler
I've got translated this plugin into german.
But it only works if I replace the original en-US files, maybe you could make it work with different languages.
nickm
Thanks! I'll add that to the next release which should be done soon.
GeekShadow
@nickm
you should put your extension at babelzilla for easy translation ;)
nickm
Good idea, I just might wait a bit until I stop working on it and the strings are a bit more stable.
toe_head2001
I'm not liking the second status bar thing.
nickm
You mean the button down the bottom between the media view and the bottom content pane? I wish I could remove it, it seems to show up automatically whenever you add anything to the context menu. I'm hoping that after I mess around with the code a bit more I'll know enough about how it works to get rid of it.
atreiu
Can't you just hide it, in the meanwhile? With CSS? It look pretty ugly :-(
Besides: Great update, i love the new position of the Buttons and the new functions! Thanks! :-)
nickm
If you know how to do it with CSS it would be great if you could tell me, I find it pretty annoying too. I've tried
#sb-commands-toolbar {
display: none !important;
}
but that didn't work and I'm really new to XUL/Mozilla programming so I sort of ran out of ideas after that.
nickm
OK I worked it out. Protip: If you change chrome.manifest you might need to restart Songbird instead of just refreshing the UI.
atreiu
Yay! Thanks for the update :-)
But I wonder: the Main-Toolbar-Button (the one next to the search-field) is moved back to the right side of the search-bar, again. You changed it to the left side with your v0.2, which was more beautiful, imho.
nickm
Hmm ... I didn't do that on purpose and it isn't happening to me (on my dev environment or clean install environment). Maybe try uninstalling and re-installing?

Would be nice to be able to manage this addon's button icon with 'pane buttons'. But as it stands, it is not movable from its current location... which for me is between the default media views drop-down button and the search window..
Thanks for this update you made, because I had stopped using it owing to the button u removed being a distraction :)
nickm
Oh, I think I know the problem. I have set my button to show up after the media views dropdown button and I'm guessing you have that turned off. I might as well update it so that it goes before the search bar instead because I've found a small bug that I want to fix too.
nkler
here is the new german translation
http://rapidshare.com/files/180514760/de-DE.zip.html
without the new translation songbird crashes and wants to restart in english
nkler
Ok my last translation wasn't working right, but here is the new one
http://rapidshare.com/files/180520437/de-DE_More_the_Same.zip
but I think there is still a problem whit the "selectedFromPlaylist" and "fromPlaylist" stings.
They doesn't show up in the german version
nickm
Thanks nkler! I don't know whats going on with those 2 strings, probably something to do with the fact that that menu item is added dynamically, but I couldn't see anything wrong with the way it was parsing the strings. I'll keep an eye out for a fix.
atreiu
Yay, toolbar-button-position fixed for me, finally :-) Thanks!
klint
Hello
Sorry, but the French translation does not seem to work!
Thanks
nkler
@ klint: you have to reinstall the addon, there was for a short time a bad version online
nickm
Yes I had a bad version up for 5-10 minutes. Please let me know if the problem persists after you reinstall (or update to 0.3.4)
joux
This sound like a good plugin. Is there a reason I can't install it in Songbird 1.0 on Linux?
nickm
No reason I can think of, I'll check it out on my Linux box when I get a chance.
nickm
I've just tried installing it on Ubuntu and it seems to work, sorry I don't think I'll be able to help, I don't have easy access to any other distros.
klint
Could you please but the SB version to 1.1.1?
Thanks
nickm
No worries
klint
thanks :)
klint
Hello
I'm using More of The Same with SB 1.1.1a, and there seems to be a problem with the URL bar: the URL is not refreshed when browsing between sites... I have narrowed the behaviour to this extension. Could you please check?
Thanks

I'm experiencing the same problem as klint, using the latest nightly build. If you'd have a look at it that would be great, hiding the service pane in my library is a must-have feature ;-)
nickm
OK I'll try to have a look at it this week some time.
nickm
This seems to be a general problem with toolbar buttons. Hopefully one of the experts at songbird-dev can help out.
nickm
For anyone interested - http://bugzilla.songbirdnest.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15262
Should be fixed in an overnight build some time.
toe_head2001
If the extension Pane Buttons is installed, the toolbar button does not show up.
Maybe if you put the button to the right of the search bar (like Recommended Playlists and Ad-block Plus do) , it would solve the problem?
atreiu
Hi Nick, after toe_head2001s report. I took a deep look into it, and only can say, that it's not Pane Buttons, that is hiding the button, it must be a bug in a your extension.
I could reproduce the Bug without Pane Buttons:
1. New install of Songbird 1.1.1 and fresh profile (on XP SP3)
2. Only installed 2 Addons: "More of the Same" and a Feather ("Elegance").
3. After restart, I see the "More of the Same" button in the new skin, like it should be.
4. I switch to Gonzo (default) - Skin, "More of the Same" button is gone. FOREVER! O.o
The button can't even be revoked by uninstalling the two addons and reinstalling them. So it must be broken in the profile somehow.
nickm
Thanks for testing it out, I've made some changes which I think will fix the problems but I'll double check it with the pane buttons addon installed. I also just noticed a problem with the context menu when this addon and Now Playing are installed which I'll have to look in to. Toolbar buttons and context menus are much harder to implement than they should be. Unfortunately I don't have the internet at home at the moment so I won't be able to upload any fixes for a week or two.
moopet
This works really well (in 1.0 anyway) - good work.
Hiromacu
This release works much more better. Great job! :p
Hiromacu
Hmm... My previous comment was too fast! :(
The toolbar button bug still occurs!
Unfortunately the toolbar button is disappeared after the first feather switching and never came back! (Feather switching to the previous used, Songbird restarting, add-on reinstallation, uninstallation then installation again but nothing helped!)
I created a new profile then installed the add-on and everything was fine. But I didn't want to install an other feather so I switched the player mod to Mini Player to test this bug and the toolbar button is disappeared again and never came back in that profile too.
Songbird 1.1.1, Build 1018 (20090309144748)
Windows XP MCE Version 2002 (SP3)
nickm
Sorry, I'm trying to get some advice about how to fix it. Hopefully at least the context menu works better this version and you can use that.
Hiromacu
@nickm: Yes! The context menu still works. But I hope you can fix this toolbar bug. :P
leoperbo
Great! I was missing a feature like this since Amarok, but I like much more the way of your add-on works in Songbird.
Hiromacu
@nickm: Looks like the toolbar button problem is gone. Great job! Thanks! :)
zbu
Any chance "selected track's playlists" will make it as a standalone addon?
nickm
zbu - I'm not really sure what you mean. I have no plans to take that bit of functionality out and make it an addon by itself.
Shoggi
First: I really like this add-on.
And now, as stupid as that may sound, could you add a "More of the same Song" option? I'm a huge fan of cover songs and sometimes it's nice to see if you have other versions of the same song lying around.
zbu
Okay, thanks for the reply. I have another question, is there a way to change the behaviour, instead of having a button on top, having the "more of the same" options in the right-click pop-up-menu. I think it's more natural and it reduces 2 clicks to only one.
nickm
@Shoggi - I'll take a look into it if I get a chance
@zbu - There should already be a right-click menu (like it shows in the second screenshot) but I guess that has stopped working. I'll also have a look into that.
zbu
@nickm: Sorry for the late reply. There's still a menu on a right-click, but not all options are there. the "Current track's playlists" is missing.
nickm
Oh right, that's because it is not possible (or very hard) to make the right click context menu dynamic. The other options are there because they never change, but I couldn't get it to show a list of playlists there.
