Wes, have triggers working, great...on a side note, its nice to know what triggers is all about now

Andy,

Everyone I show your skin to loves it......! just thought you should know.

Just a few questions and observations.


1. It would be nice to have the track number shown for reference when playing an artists track list.

2. I noticed that there is no screen for the Movie, Music spiders....? maybe I am blind..

Thats great to know, makes all the work worthwhile!

Movie, Music Spiders...erm i think the version you have had them done, Movie spider is under manage on movie viewer screen, Music spider link is found on music details screen when you click on an album, from memory the icon with a ships wheel on it, this gives you a delete or spider buttons overlay.

I have changed the playlist stats that appear whenever music is playing to show track position, all now on show/hide commands to clean up the screens when music is not played. (if thats what you meant?)

I'll send you a new link as i have fixed alot of stuff that seemed not to be working correctly and sounds are now in skin. Remember though, its still a work in progress!

Thanks
Andy

99% done, just finishing off skinning PPC screens, then hope for multi zone slider bar fix and maybe 1st track issue so menu player shuts off itself when playlist finishes, then i can post.

Few random screenshots added to keep you going...

[wesblack]

Andy,

This is now fixed in the current release.

More than 1 track issue fixed...thanks

but...

As you see above if i play just one track it ignores it in the playlist details.

In playlist no details show up for the one song that is playing. I know i am being picky now but is this normal?

Also been trying to set up a Boolean command to trigger clear playlist and send hide commands to clear the menu player off the main menu screen when the playlist reaches 0:00 now the above has been fixed.

I have tried as an example:

Play and show commands first in list followed by:

with clear playlist and all the hide commands nested within the Boolean command.

Both -

If playlist>timeremaining = 0:00

and If %playlist>timeremaining% = 0:00

Neither work, if you have time can you have a look and figure out how i can achieve this. Do i need to set up a trigger as well??? or is the command structure wrong?

Thanks
Andy

Andy,

I see your issues in the music player, this looks simple to fix. I will let you know early this week about a fix.

I will look at your Boolean logic setup and advise.

Andy,


You have to create a trigger that fires every second, attach the local event you created to the trigger so that when the playlist reaches 0:00 it will fire the the event. You can use a trigger enable and trigger disable if you want to turn this feature on or off.

See my News Post as a refernce: http://xlobby.com/news/2009/04/25/new-xlobby-v3-build-309114104/

If you get stuck, send me another download of the skin so I can see the event structure you created and fix the issue, then I can send the files back to you.

Thanks for the info...

I can get:

if audioplayer>time>%elapsed% = 0:00 to fire the trigger as an example, of course it does it straight away as track starts at 0:00 but i wanted to see if i had the trigger correct to clear playlist and hide player which seems ok.

I then tried it on the playlist command which is the one i want it to act on:

if playlist>timeremaining = 0:00 - which causes nothing to happen
if %playlist>timeremaining% = 0:00 - which causes nothing to happen

I noticed when last track finishes the playlist>timeremaining goes back to showing the length of the last track in playlist? i wonder if this causes the problem.

If you look at the "stop" event in music on last iphone skin i sent you, you will see the playlist clear and hide commands i associated with the player. These are ones i have tied to the Boolean command. If you can get it to work for if playlist>timeremaining = 0:00 can you let me know or if the playlist finishing and staying at 0:00 needs to be resolved?

Thanks
Andy

All screens updated and new animated weather screen added, see first posts.

[wesblack]

Andy,

We need to create a few new variables for you to make this work. I will let you know when I have something for you to test.

Thanks Wes, sorry to be a pain

If had known all the pain this menu player show/hide would cause i wouldn't have bothered!!

[S Pittaway]

oh oh.. i have had a plugin to do this for ages


Wes, would it not be more sensible to have a few hard coded events/triggers that are easy to link into?

track start,
track end
track stop
playlist end
etc?

ditto for the movie player?

The way i wrote it was to simply call and event on each track change...

Its something that i think a lot of people would find useful and (i use it) and its much easier to understand if they don't have to set polling events themselves...
