How do get only the song /title/ on tiles in the music browser?
#1
Hi,

I would like that Kodi doesn't display the full information about a song in the music browser, because that uses too much space on the tiles.

In other words I want:

Image

instead of this:

Image

where the long string "track number.artist name - song title" is obviously truncated.

I cannot change 

              <control type="textbox">
                    <posx>10</posx>
                    <posy>199</posy>
                    <width>385</width>
                    <height>100</height>
                    <font>font20_narrow</font>
                    <selectedcolor>selected</selectedcolor>
                    <align>center</align>
                    <aligny>center</aligny>
                    <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
                </control>


to

              <control type="textbox">
                    <posx>10</posx>
                    <posy>199</posy>
                    <width>385</width>
                    <height>100</height>
                    <font>font20_narrow</font>
                    <selectedcolor>selected</selectedcolor>
                    <align>center</align>
                    <aligny>center</aligny>
                    <label>$INFO[ListItem.Title]</label>
                </control>


in Estouchy's ViewsThumbnail.xml because this would change the tiles' text everywhere, including during navigation in the music tree.

How can I get the expected results?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Can't you just change the track naming template from:

[%N.]%A-%T
to just
%T

Change the settings from System->Settings->Media->Music->Track Naming Template at least in Confluence.

Terrific! Thanks so much. I vaguely remembered having seen some printf-like template in one of the zillion places where something can be configured, just couldn't remember where!

Now I'll think about a way to replace the somewhat useless footer that reads

Music - Library - <name of my UPnP server>

with something like:

<artist> - <album>
