NowPlaying plugin - Multiple Media Player Support

[poiru]

I would love to see support for DaumPotPlayer( or KMPlayer) in the future.

I took a brief look at both players. PotPlayer doesn't seem to expose any control interface, while KMPlayer does indeed have basic support for the Winamp interface. However, the Winamp interface implementation is rather lacking (only a fraction of it is in place) so it will not work with NowPlaying either, unfortunately.

The skin size and scrolling text are up to the author (i.e. they don't have anything to do with the NowPlaying plugin itself).

As to the update issue with radio stations, I'll try to get it fixed in time for the beta release today.

I absolutely do not blame the plugin, it's great as your own skin.I wanted to know if anyone knew how to do it to scroll, I did not get help search in the forum,thanks for your work!

Hey poiru, great work on the plugin! One of the best innovations in Rainmeter in some time in my opinion. Just wanted to ask are you planning to add support SetPosition bang in foobar2000?

Smufier has marquee working, I'm trying to shoe-horn it into my media player at the moment...

The scrolling titles with Winamp are possible in the old skins because of a feature in Winamp where they continually update the window title of Winamp itself. Winamp implemented this to create a scrolling effect on the taskbar button in earlier versions of Windows. This allowed us to request the window title with Rainmeter and update it on the screen giving us a primitive "scrolling" title.

Hm I installed the latest beta of foobar and the foo_rainmeter101, but still the bar doesn't seem to be working.. (the bar is unclickable)

I already have a progress bar you can click to jump up and down the track just like Winamp, I'm sure there is a more elegant way of achieving it, however, mine is simple and effective using a series of image blocks (with no image) using an incremented SetPostion bang overlaid on the progress bar.

Code: Select all

[MeterProgressJump5]
Meter=Image
X=r
Y=r
H=20
W=10
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!PluginBang "MeasurePlayer SetPosition 5"]

[MeterProgressJump10]
Meter=Image
X=10r
Y=r
H=20
W=10
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!PluginBang "MeasurePlayer SetPosition 10"]

etc

You can see the full effect in the media player in Cobalt 2.0, and the simple maths - bar is 200x20 pixels and the 20 "images" are 10 wide (20x10=200) - so not hard to adapt to other sizes if you pick a number that divides well.
