nowplaying bug?

[UnforgivenRevival]

The Rainmeter manual states that for the "state" in the nowplaying plugin there are 3 options, 0, 1, and 2, But it seems now that when the player is closed, OR no music is playing, "0" is no longer a valid option. This has worked in older versions of Rainmeter with no player open, closed, with or without music playing, And now, currently it wont show a image when the player is closed or stopped for "0". It only shows when there is music playing. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

It seems something has changed in the last 1 or 2 recent betas, and I cannot figure out why it is doing this. I also have tried it with iTunes and WMP, and even different filenames, With the same results. The play/pause works when a player is open and playing, So I know something is right. As soon as you stop the music or close the player, The button goes away again.

Right now I have a gap between the other buttons which is really annoying.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Using:
Win 7 x64
Rainmeter 2.4.0 Beta r1598 64-bit.

Hmm, Just tried a different skin, and it is working with almost the same code as mine. There must be an error in my code somewhere, But I cant spot it. can anyone else?


*Feel free to move this to the skins help, if needed*

[Kaelri]

The problem is here:

Code: Select all

Substitute="0":"#@#Icons\Play2#IconColor#.png","1":"#@#Icons\Pause#IconColor#.png","2":"#@#Icons\Play#IconColor#.png"

All substitutions on a value are done in order. When the State is zero, the first substitute replaces the 0 with #@#Icons\Play2#IconColor#.png. But then the third substite replaces the 2 in there with #@#Icons\Play2#IconColor#.png. So the result is:

#@#Icons\Play#@#Icons\Play#IconColor#.png#IconColor#.png

To fix it, all you have to do is rename the image to something that doesn't contain any substituted characters.

[UnforgivenRevival]

But the thing is, Even if I use this line and get rid of the number, It still doesnt work. This is how I originally had it(just tried this again to double check), I added the 2 to try a different file name just to see if that would work when this didnt work:

Code: Select all

Substitute="0":"#@#Icons\Play#IconColor#.png","1":"#@#Icons\Pause#IconColor#.png","2":"#@#Icons\Play#IconColor#.png"

Eliminating the numbers, It still doesnt show for "0". the #iconcolor# is either B or W so it cant be messing with it either, I dont think.

[Kaelri]

Can you upload the complete skin (including images) somewhere? It seems like that should work by itself, so I'm guessing something else in the skin is messing it up.

[UnforgivenRevival]

Expect a PM in a few, Dont want to publicly release this just yet. Still have a few tweaks to work out on it besides this.

[Kaelri]

Ah, yep, I see it. #IconColor# doesn't contain any numbers, but #@# does.

Code: Select all

Substitute="0":"#@#Icons\Play#IconColor#.png"

=

Code: Select all

Substitute="0":"C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\BlackBarV1.5\@Resources\Icons\PlayB.png"

[UnforgivenRevival]

Question, If that is the problem, Why do the other "#@#"s not effect the images for "1" and "2"?

Edit: Hmm... it still isnt working for me. a direct path to the file, also eliminating #iconcolor# from the substitute, and no luck. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. :|

[Kaelri]

If the substitutes don't match anything in the string, then they aren't used. When the player state is 1, it ignores "0":"...". And when the player state is 2, it ignores both "0":"..." and "1":"...".

So the only remaining risk is when the state is 1, and there is a "2" in the string after the "1":"..." substitution. Currently, there is not; it's the "BlackBarV1.5" that's the issue. But it would become a problem when you hit "BlackBarV2.0". ;)

[UnforgivenRevival]

So if I remove the numbers from the folder names, it should work?
