But I can`t get the shuffle button to work.

I am using this code for the NowPlaying skin:
...
But I can`t get the shuffle button to work.

From the manual:

!CommandMeasure "MainMeasure" "SetShuffle n"
Where n is 1 (shuffle on), 0 (shuffle off), or -1 (toggle shuffle).

So use something like:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!CommandMeasure "MeasurePlayer" "SetShuffle -1"]

That should do it

You also don't need the "!Execute" container when there's only one command, so you can simplify it to this:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=!CommandMeasure "MeasurePlayer" "SetShuffle -1"

Which should make your life a little easier. :)

I tried what you wrote, but I can`t see that the playlist order changes to "Shuffle" in Foobar2000, when pressing on "Shuffle" on the skin . I`m refreshing the skin too.

[poiru]

Have you installed the latest foo_rainmeter.dll plugin (version 1.0.3)?

[Fronter]

Thanks! Works now My next suggestion would be a Random trigger for the tracks in the playlist

[AlC]

The issues reported by AlC should hopefully be fixed in the release later today.

Are fixed, thanks

libcad_plugin.dll 1.0.1 for VLC is available.

Changes:

* Added support for displaying radio track and artist (if supported by the radio station)

I just tried it, to see if I will get the same error (with IP showing). Double clicking the .pls opens the .vlc, starts streaming the music, but the TITLE measure stays empty. The vlc displays this as info:



Using JSMorley's RadioNow, the track is displayed correctly. So I guess that something is wrong with my .pls file. Get it here.

Is is possible to substitute the radio track with this Radio Name (?) information displayed by vlc, when Radio track is not transmitted or empty?

Yeah, that station does not transmit track info.

Yep, will update the libcad plugin when I get some time (probably on Saturday).

[KreAch3R]

Great! Thanks (again & again..) poiru. Update it whenever you find the time.

UPDATE: I used this program to play .pls files in WMP, and when Track title is missing (like in my .pls posted above) NowPlaying plugin spills out the IP again. In other .pls files (like the ones included in RadioNow) the plugin gives out the track title correctly. I though you should know, given that you will work over it in the VLC side.
