Customizing Media Library Queries

Deadbeef's Media Library browser has the ability to select a query -- such as "Albums" or "Folders", and it comes with a few standard built-in queries.

Additionally, you can create your own queries by clicking a little button next to the query dropdown:

There you can view and edit the existing presets:

As well as create new query presets:

• by duplicating an existing one
• creating one from scratch
• or creating one from one of the built in templates

After creating the query preset, you will need to fill in the items in it, which are represented as a list of title formatting scripts, each defining one level in the tree hierarchy.

For example, for Genres query you will see something like this:

So top level is "genre" script, then "artist - album", then "track title".

You can customize this to your liking by editing these scripts directly in this list, like so:

Hope this helps to customize your queries! Enjoy!
