Awesome work smurfier! That is brilliant. I smacked myself in the forehead a couple times while reading through your work... I can't believe I never thought to hide the songtitle while WA is inactive... that's a great addition. AND THE BARS WORK! Just like I was hoping! Fantastic stuff my friend, thank you so much for all your help, it really helped me to understand min/max and I think I'm starting to grasp calcs and formulas. Cheers mate, thanks a ton!

Cryo - thanks, I think you helped me to wrap my mind around the concepts ;)

Wald - feel free to use as you will mate, no worries :)

Varelse - your formulas are what clicked it for me, I really appreciate you taking the time. Cheers!



Awesomesauce. Thanks everyone for helping me out!

I'll update that post in my junk thread with this great new version soon.

:D

Code: Select all

[MeasurePositionBar]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\iTunesPlugin.dll
Command=GetPlayerPositionPercent
MaxValue=100

[MeasureTimeP1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(MeasurePositionBar/100) < 0.125 ? (MeasurePositionBar/100) : 0.125
MinValue=0
MaxValue=0.125

[MeasureTimeP2]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((MeasurePositionBar/100) > 0.125) || ((MeasurePositionBar/100) <0.5) ? (MeasurePositionBar/100) : 0.50
MinValue=0.125
MaxValue=0.50

[MeasureTimeP3]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((MeasurePositionBar/100) > 0.50) || ((MeasurePositionBar/100) <0.625) ? MeasurePositionBar/100 : 0.625
MinValue=0.5
MaxValue=0.625

[MeasureTimeP4]
Measure=Calc
Formula= MeasurePositionBar/100 > 0.625 ? MeasurePositionBar/100 : 0
MinValue=0.625
MaxValue=1.0
The decimals are the percentage that you want the break between meters to be at.
0.25/0.50/0.75/1.0 don't act like 25%, 50%, 75% & 100% in my current experiment:
[MeasurePositionBar]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying.dll
MediaPlayer=[mPlayer]
MediaType=POSITION

[MeasureTimeP1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(MeasurePositionBar/100) < 0.25 ? (MeasurePositionBar/100) : 0.25
MinValue=0
MaxValue=0.25

[MeasureTimeP2]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((MeasurePositionBar/100) > 0.25) || ((MeasurePositionBar/100) <0.5) ? (MeasurePositionBar/100) : 0.50
MinValue=0.25
MaxValue=0.50

[MeasureTimeP3]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((MeasurePositionBar/100) > 0.50) || ((MeasurePositionBar/100) <0.75) ? MeasurePositionBar/100 : 0.75
MinValue=0.50
MaxValue=0.75

[MeasureTimeP4]
Measure=Calc
Formula= MeasurePositionBar/100 > 0.75 ? MeasurePositionBar/100 : 0
MinValue=0.75
MaxValue=1.0
Is it my maths, or am I missing something - they are showing the first 0-10%, 10-20% up to 40%..?

Let's try something simple first....

Code: Select all

[MeasurePositionBar]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying.dll
MediaPlayer=[mPlayer]
MediaType=POSITION

[MeasureTimeP1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasurePositionBar
MinValue=0
MaxValue=25

[MeasureTimeP2]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasurePositionBar
MinValue=25
MaxValue=50

[MeasureTimeP3]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasurePositionBar
MinValue=50
MaxValue=75

[MeasureTimeP4]
Measure=Calc
Formula= MeasurePositionBar
MinValue=75
MaxValue=100

That now does 7% per side, i.e 28% = all 4 full... :confused:

/me SMASHES HEAD ON KEYBOARD

Before:

[MeasurePositionBar]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying.dll
MediaPlayer=[mPlayer]
MediaType=POSITION

After:

[MeasurePositionBar]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying.dll
MediaPlayer=[mPlayer]
MediaType=PROGRESS

Both calcs good, however yours makes way more sense to my tiny brain and is now in use. Wrong measure replacement fixes it totally... :D

Could you please post your entire code so I may test.

Current iteration below Trying to understand why the repeat/shuffle button have vanished - got to read up on "GROUP" from the "Group=Player" in [MeterToggleRepeat] & [MeterToggleShuffle] and see if that is the cause...

Are you intending to use WinAmp or iTunes? iTunes seems to be working just fine.

Foobar for me, but the plugin should mean works with all once I strip the last of the winamp specific bits. Going to sort the buttons next... O.O

My favorite way to do buttons right now...

Code: Select all

[NormalState]
Group=Button
MouseOverAction=!Execute [!RainmeterToggleMeterGroup Button][!RainmeterRedraw]

[HoverState]
Group=Button
;Use the Up action so your mouse action doesn't interfere with dragging the skin.
LeftMouseUpAction=Whatever
MouseLeaveAction=!Execute [!RainmeterToggleMeterGroup Button][!RainmeterRedraw]
Hidden=1

You can probably get rid of the Group=Player tags without hurting the skin... I just had those in there because I was hiding the entire 'music' skin when the 'system' skin or other was activated.

I think the source of your main problem with those buttons is their Hidden=1 status.

If you use Groups to Toggle and Hide certain elements, you have to make sure you're not bugging the skin when you redraw (refresh) it.

With Repeat and Shuffle, since those two require that the music player is active so as to measure their state, they can get a little buggy (at least for WinAmp). Double-check the Measures with !Rainmeter actions to insure the Repeat/Shuffle buttons are active when they're supposed to be, and verify that WinAmp is being measured for Repeat/Shuffle status.

You might find a better way to implement those buttons with the new Plugin... but those are the issues I ran into.

Hope it works out for you!

Cheers,
