4.1.3.2 Album widget

The album widget can either be in an own window (when the tree is in tabbed mode) or in a notebook right of the tree widget. It lists all tracks of that album. At the bottom there is a toolbar and a display of the total playback time of the album.

A track in gmerlin is a piece of media, which can have an arbitrary number of audio-, video- and subtitle streams. A track can be divided into chapters (which are just seekpoints). Some files (like ALBW wrapped mp3s or concatenated Ogg streams), will show up as multiple tracks. You can move them around in the whole tree as if they were separate files.

Doubleclicking an album opens it if it was closed or vice versa.

The right click menu offers lots of options and shortcuts, not all of them are documented here.

Adding tracks can happen in multiple ways:

Drag and Drop is supported:

Error tracks are tracks, which failed to load last time you tried. They are marked red but remain in the album. If they are on removable disks or in the network, you might retry playing them when they become available. To delete all error tracks, go to “Select error tracks” in the right click menu to select them. Then, press <CTRL>+DELETE to get rid of them.

For keyboard commands, see Shortcuts.
