Yes.

Hi all.

(Let me apologize beforehand if this has already been discussed.)

I have been searching for codes that can minimize media players.

So far I only have a winamp code that can minimize Winamp,
but I've found none that does that for the other players.

Do you guys happen to know where I could find such codes?
Or if they even exist?

[alexandeu]

oops, some how I double-posted.

I assume you are talking about command line options. You would have to search around and read manuals to find the correct option for each different media player.

A quick search found me /hide for foobar which may or may not do what you want.
Or you could just disable it in foobar itself by going to:
File > Preferences
Click on "Shell Integration".
Uncheck "Bring to front when adding new files".

VLC has a lot of options --qt-start-minimized seemed to work for me.
EDIT also add --one-instance to stop it from opening a second player.

I'll let you know later this week if this will be added as a new NowPlaying feature.

I'm still quite a newbie at this so wasn't quite sure what to do with /hide.
but the shell integration works great.

I'll look into the VLC too.


The code I have for winamp is this:

WhateverAction=[!CommandMeasure "WINAMP SendMessage 273 40258 0"]

Oh! Thank you so much!

Hello.
I am having some problems with this plugin in combination with Foobar2000.
Most important controls are working fine (play, pause, stop, next, artist, title etc.) but for some reason I can't get the SetVolume control to work, please halp!
Just to be clear, none of the below are working:

Code: Select all

MouseScrollUpAction=!CommandMeasure mPlayer SetVolume +5
LeftMouseUpAction=!CommandMeasure mPlayer SetVolume +5
LeftMouseUpAction=!CommandMeasure mPlayer SetVolume 5

I'm running rainmeter 2.5 and Foobar2000 v1.2.4 with the foo_cad component (v1.0.2).

Ps. First post! Woo!
