Overview#

This provides full playback queue management as an embedded UI element for Default UI and Columns UI. There is also a standalone popup window available from the View menu.

There is full drag/drop support from other playlist / library viewer selections. You can select single or multiple items to re-arrange or remove them entirely.

Unlike the original foo_queuecontents component, there is no support for multiple columns but the Item column supports custom title formatting.

By right clicking on the column headers, you can set the title format pattern used for the Item column, choose to Keep queue on close and sort the entire queue by randomising or reverse.

Usage#

It is assumed you know how to add UI elements to your layout. Basic guides can be found below.

Default UI

Columns UI

In addition to the drag/drop capabilities mentioned above, you can also right click any playlist or library selection and use these new commands found under the Queue Viewer sub-menu:

Send to playback queue
Send to playback queue and play
Add to front of playback queue
Add to front of playback queue and play

The Send commands flush exisiting queue items first.

Note

If menu items appear to be hidden, it's because the queue is limited to a maximum of 256 tracks.
