Show headers in Playlist Grid View

I can display the "Songs Album Artist Genre Videos Match" hedaders when browsing my Music Library in Grid View, but I can't find a way of showing these headers when browsing a Playlist.
Is there a way?

Hi All,

Can any one help how to start.
Thanks in advance!

Hi AnilKarthik,
You can get user details by name using DirectoryService namespace. Then you can create a DataTable to restore the information and then bind to the SharePoint GridView.
Here are some deatiled code demos for your reference:

My itunes video playlists (grid view) keep changing to audio playlists

I'm using iTunes 10.7 and stream a lot of movies to my AppleTV. I have video playlists and the AppleTV recognizes them as such.
Lately, my video playlists, in the poster art (grid) view, have been changing to audio playlists and changing the order of the files from alphabetized by Title, to alphabetized by Artist. The buttons at the top of the playlist - "Movies Genres Unwatched" have changed to "Albums Artists Genres Composers"
If I create a new playlist, it retains the video qualities until I select another playlist, then it changes to the audio playlist, when I select it again.
The titles are all out of sequence, on the Apple TV - reflecting the setting on the poster view setting (e.g. "Artist") on the itunes playlist.
What do I have to do the get the playlists to retain the video characteristics?

thanks. i got it.

Grid view of books doesn't show everything - thus selective sync impossible

I have recently added a bunch of audio books to iTunes. However, only about half of them showed up in the grid view. Only after checking out the list view did I see that the books were actually in iTunes and just weren't shown.
This wouldn't be so bad if the selective synchronisation of books wasn't based on said grid view, with no possibility to change said view. Therefore, I have the choice between syncing all audio books, for which I do not have the space on my iPod, ignoring the ones the grid view doesn't show or deleting the ones I don't want synchronised and sync all others.
So, what do?

At a guess your "missing" books are simply organised as Music instead of Books - here's how to fix things...
Audiobooks
With iTunes 8.x or later you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that now make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. The main issue is that the iPod lists all audiobook files by track title/chapter name so unless you rename every track using a scheme such as *Book Title, Chapter XX* the tracks will play out of sequence. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore it's Audiobooks feature and use my own playlists for access.
Note that I've used leading digits in the playlist names to arrange these in chronological rather than alphabetical order.

N.b. If you're having trouble organising audiobooks within iTunes see my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.

All episodes don't show up in Grid view

I've got 20 seasons of Top Gear all converted and waiting to be added to iTunes. They exist on my external HD, so when I drag them in to iTunes I hold in Alt/Option, so they stay there.
If I drag in the folders for seasons 1 through 13, all episodes show up, and if I select the show in iTunes I see "tabs/buttons" for Season 1, Season 2, etc etc. Pic here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2213114/2013-08-23_18-05-00.jpg
However if I drag season 1 through 14 (or more), only season 1 shows up in iTunes grid view. However all episodes/season show up in List view, and all are available on my Apple TV.
If I drag just, say, season 14 through 20, they add fine. But if I then add 1 through 13, again only 1 season shows in Grid view.
In all cases the correct number of "New" episodes shows on the blue banner on the cover (i.e "99+").
Top Gear generally has about 6 to 10 episodes per season.
I have exactly the same problem with The Simpsons.
All my other shows added fine. Just The Simpsons and Top Gear had issues. I doubt it's a co-incidence those are the only 2 shows I have with hundreds of episodes and 20+ seasons each. It's almost as if iTunes has some kind of limit…

Your website has a link to a feed at
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/CrossCultureCalvaryChapelPodcast?format=xml
This feed contains the itunes:new-feed-url tag, forwarding to a feed at
http://calvarychapel.nl/index.php?option=comsermonspeaker&task=podcast&feed=RSS2.0&nohtml=1
This latter feed is what is being used when you click on the 'subscribe' button in the iTunes Store, and the result matches the feed. (The list you have under 'Podcasts' in your own iTunes application probably includes earlier episodes: removing them from the feed doesn't remove them once downloaded, but the removed episodes don't show for new subscribers).
However, the iTunes Store page lists 114 episodes, the last being 28-3-09, thus not showing later additions, and shows earlier episodes present in neither feed. Therefore the page has the correct feed link for subscribers but itself has not updated since March - since when you have changed the URL and deleted earlier episodes. Why this should be I can't say: there is usually a delay before changes show, but only a day or two. It's peculiar that it should have failed to update the Store page but has the correct link on the 'Subscribe' button, and I can only suggest you try contacting Support:

Compilations Artists Grid View

Hello, I have several songs that I've marked with the "Part of a Compilation" option. However, if I only have one song from an artist and said song is part of a compilation, it won't show up on the Grid View under that artist; it will end up at the bottom grouped with all the other compilations. Is there any way that these songs can be sorted under their artist and still be part of a compilation? I would really appreciate any advice, this is something that I find really annoying. Thank you in advance.

I don't think there is anything to be done. I've tired turning off the option under View > Column Browser to Group Compilations but iTunes lists the same number of Arists in Grid mode as it did before. In the Column Browser however the number of artists listed has more than doubled. I suspect the Grid lists only those artists with at least one non-compilation track, with the remaing artists only listed under their respective Album Artist.

Cycle Grid Views (J) odd behaviour

Hi
I am using using 4.4 and have seen a strange behaviour when using the J key to Cycle Grid Views.
On some images the J key works as expected and cycles continuously through each option.
However, on some occasions, on certain images, the third press of the J key causes the grid view to jump to a different set of images, interestingly the selected image remains selected.
Limited testing shows that when the grid view does jump it always seems to jump to the same set of images.
This is not a huge problem as I do not cycle the view that often and on this occasion I did it by accident as I was meaning to add a keyword that happened to begin with a J and I had not selected the 'click here to add keywords' box.
Any thoughts as to why this is not working would be appreciated.
Regards

That seems similar to, but not exactly the same as, the problem I've been having for the past 2 weeks on only one of my 2 computers:
metamatt, "missing text / thumbnails / many Lightroom UI elements disappeared" #, 18 Aug 2007 3:08 pm. I too find that the problem in Grid view depends on the view options I've selected, but for me, the thumbnails are either always present or always missing, for given view options -- they don't appear then disappear.

Playing a playlist with multiple albums in Grid View in iTunes 8

Hi All,
Here is a situation I came across, that was quite unexpected compared to the behaviour in iTunes 7.
Suppose I have a playlist with multiple artists/albums. I have this playlist in Grid View. I choose this playlist from the left side navigation tree and press the play button. This playlist is set to shuffle by songs. I expect it to play a song and jump to the next song. iTunes 8 would just keep playing the same songs in the first album listed in the Grid View and would not jump to any other.
http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/4726/itunes20080910191124oh2.jpg
In this screenshot above, it will keep the songs in "The Very Best Of". If I press Ctrl+L (show now playing) then it would show only the songs in this album. This quite explains why it doesn't play other songs.
To explain a bit more on what's happening:
If I go to List View the song now playing does not have the Now Playing icon:
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1113/itunes20080910191500vf3.jpg
Notice it is playing "Opa Opa" but in the List View, it doesn't show it.
This is because in Grid View if you play a song from the playlist, it has its own "virtual playlist"
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/5269/itunes20080910191525wl1.png
Notice the now playing icon there.
Why is this the case?
I hope you guys understood what I was trying to explain.

turingtest2: I had already done exactly what you described in the *"Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist"* section of your article. But what I hadn't done was the advice you gave as the last sentence in this section...*"In addition if you change the Compilation status of tracks they may be temporarily treated as tracks from an Unknown Album, again things should resolve themselves if you close and reopen iTunes".* As soon as I closed and restarted iTunes, the Unknown Album with five tracks disappeared and the tracks were again displayed with the correct album.
Your article is a great read, even for people who understand iTunes...there is a lot of helpful advice there to have bookmarked just in case any of the other problems you address are ever encountered. Thanks for taking the time to compile it and share it iTunes users.

File name not showing in grid view

I just upgraded to LR 5.4 and I noticed that now when I am in grid view, only the capture date and dimensions show on the image when I run my cursor over it. I used to get a quick pop-up with the file name, capture date & dimensions, so I can quickly see where I am in my numbering system. I have looked at the preferences and also in view, but it is not apparent to me where it went, plus I know I didn't change anything, intentionally.
BTW, I also upgraded to Mavericks OS on my iMac, but I hope that is not what is wrong. I know Adobe put out a bunch of "patches" for Bridge, etc. but I have already downloaded and updated all that.

When you are in Library module/Grid mode, the text that appears in the hovering action is controlled by the Info Overlay. The Info Overlay has three states: Off, Info 1 and Info 2.
Go to View>Loupe Overlay and put a check mark next to the Overlay you wish to be active and your hovering enabled text will change to match that text.

Is there any way to get keywords to show up in grid view?

Being able to see the keywords assigned to each photo in grid view would be incredibly helpful to me for managing my photos and videos as I add new keywords. Just seeing the "this photo has keywords" tag does not help. I need to see the actual keywords, without having to click on each individual photo to see them.

There is no way at present. It was conidered a long time back, but trying to show kywords on a postage stamp wasn't deemed good use of engineering time. An alterntive similar to the Bridge Metadata layout (configurable table view) has been suggested a few times, but I've not seen anything to indicate that it got much traction.

List View shows all tracks of CD, grid view is missing tracks

I imported all my CDs into my iTunes library over the holidays. Over 40 GB of music. Now, I discover a flakey problem. On a CD, if I view via list view, the library shows 13 tracks. When switching to grid view and double-clicking on album, it shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12
When I use windows explorer, the iTunes folder only shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12. Yet I can play all 13 tracks on PC and iPod. Where are the 'missing' tracks being stored and why don't they show in both views? This is happening on quite a lot of the CDs that were imported, but others are fine.

This is most likely due to the content of the ID3 tags in the imported files. If a track features more than one artist, iTunes uses the first artist in the list to sort and organise the files. So one or more files imported from a CD might be stored in another artist's folder. iTunes plays the full album because it knows where all the tracks are (by virtue of the iTunes library database).
To get around this problem, edit the information for all the tracks on an album so the the "Artist" tag has the main artist first in the list.

That nice division of playlists in grid view...bring it back!

I'm sure this has been mentioned but that was the coolest feature about iTunes for me.
For example, I have a playlist folder for "Best Albums of 1990-1999," with playlists for each individual year inside of it.
I EXTENSIVELY used this folder because of its ability to break up grid view by year, without having to open the folder and click through each playlist individually.
Now when I click on the folder, I just get a jumbled mess of albums covers - YES I know you can still go to view options > sort by year
But really, this doesn't help when you have created folders for multiple playlists....and you have a lot of albums in there.
I loved that nice dividing line.
Thanks.

DUH! I knew I saw it somewhere, it was right in front of my face. That's what I get for getting only four hours of sleep.

How do I show and/or update image info in the Grid view?

Somehow, all the info that was showing in my grid view, in Lightroom 5.6, disappeared. How do I view info for each grid image, on the grid and how do I update or change what info is viewable?

Ctrl/Cmd-J

Lightroom 5.3 does not show image info tooltips in grid view expanded cells

In my copy of Lightroom 5.3, image info tooltips do not show in the grid view expanded cells even though that option is activated in view options. Is this an issue with Lightroom 5.3? (Note: Image info tooltips in grid view compact cells and the filmstrip do display, however.)

I don't think it ever has. I've just checked back through all versions from Lightroom 2, and don't get the same information in Expanded Cell view as I do in Compact Cell view.
So not a specific issue with LR5.3, more likely either it's "as designed" or one of those very long-standing bugs that haven't been fixed.

Grouping TV Show Seasons in Grid View

Is there a way to group all seasons of a TV show together in Grid View? Instead of seeing three icons for "Arrested Development Season 1", "Arrested Development Season 2", and "Arrested Development Season 3" (for example) I just want to see one icon for "Arrested Development". Is that possible (without removing the season information from the metadata)?

You have to remove the *Season No.* values to merge the seasons into one icon. Use an *Episode ID* pattern such as s##e## to organise the episodes in the correct order.
