help please....

ive managed to work out how to link the buttons (i think) but my vlc player is on a external hard-drive. ive got the path correct but its still not opening.

also the media player buttons on the iron man skin, can i link them to my itunes?

apologies if these answers are up in forums somewhere,

adi.

Would you mind posting your "link"?
Else we cannot tell you your error ^^

Else read this [1] here. It will tell you

Executing an external application is done by using the command and any parameters in square brackets:
LeftMouseUpAction=["C:\Windows\Notepad.exe" "FileToOpen.txt"]

Potential Erros:

• You used the forward-slash / but you need backslash \
• You have forgotten to put it in ""

Hope it helps

hi yeah guess that would help the link for the vlc is



[vlc]
meter=button
buttonimage=#skinspath#iron man\shared\button.png
x=75
y=381
buttoncommand=!execute ["D:\videolan\vlc.exe"]

like i said its on a external hard-drive

also the media player buttons? i spent a few hours last night trying to fathom out how to link them to my itunes controls but epicly failed thanks agin for any help you guys supply

are you wanting me to lopy/paste the links for that? its basically the entire "winamp interface" section of the jarvis code. ?

VLC normal install puts it in a "VLC" folder...
Try buttoncommand=!execute ["D:\videolan\vlc\vlc.exe"]

A couple of concerns:
IronMan has skins for iTunes or WinAmp; these both work as remote controllers of the actual players...
Do you have iTunes and/or WinAmp installed?

You are asking about a link to VLC player, but neither of the IronMan skins will support this player!?
You need to find a skin that uses the NowPlaying plugin for rainmeter (most new skins use this).

hi, yeah i re-wrote that into the code and its still not opening. i usually watch films using the vlc player. the skin i have shows a link for it but yeah its not pulling it up.

~~edit.. yeah im a total noob still, i realised after posting this that i included a file path that wasn't valid any more. so ive sorted the vlc side of things. thank you for the help though. ~~

i run itunes for my music. i can open it with the "music" link on the iron man central interface but the player remote on the jarvis interface i cant seem to link to use the ffw/prev/pause etc buttons.

thanks again
