Kodi-Mini Topic: Music Playing Displays

What I Watch When Playing Music

Typically I’ll bounce between three displays while playing music. If I want an Artist Slide Show and Lyrics I’ll use the Visualisation Window. If I prefer the Artist Slideshow without lyrics, I’ll switch to the Home Window. If I want to jump around from song to song, I’ll fire up a Playlist View. If I just want pictures I’ll start a slideshow before starting an album/s or playlist.

In this thread I’ll show screenshots of how I’ve configured the Playlist View, the Home Window, and the Visualisation Window.

I just found out I can play music and watch the Artist Slideshow without Lyrics or Info showing on the TV. Another cool option!

Visualisation Window (Window ID 12006)
"I" key toggles Info
"Del" toggles Lyrics

@PK Funny that I just figured this out in the last few days! I am using Matrix and it looks a little different.

The fullscreen view with the CD spinning on the bottom left and the playlist on the bottom right looks great. I can only get that playlist to show when I use Party Mode. Is that normal?
