More of the Same nickm

Shows tracks from your library that are related to a selected track


More of the Same



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.

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.

Good idea, I just might wait a bit until I stop working on it and the strings are a bit more stable.

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.

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! :-)

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.

OK I worked it out. Protip: If you change chrome.manifest you might need to restart Songbird instead of just refreshing the UI.

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

This sound like a good plugin. Is there a reason I can't install it in Songbird 1.0 on Linux?

No reason I can think of, I'll check it out on my Linux box when I get a chance.

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 ;-)

This seems to be a general problem with toolbar buttons. Hopefully one of the experts at songbird-dev can help out.

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?

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.

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.

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.
