RadioNow

[jsmorley]

I have uploaded a new version of the skin in the first post of this thread. RadioNow will now display the "Artist - Title" of the currently playing song. Be sure you have the latest libcad.dll installed in VideoLan\VLC\Plugins.

Hello!
Great work, as always Is that possible to start playing with 50% volume? Every time I click on play, it forgets the previously set volume, and starts to shout I've tried to add:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [!RainmeterPluginBang "mPlayer PlayPause"][!RainmeterPluginBang "mPlayer SetVolume -50"]

in MeterPlay section, but this doesn't help...

Is that possible to start playing with 50% volume?

Perhaps you could try adding a little Calc measure right below [mVolume] and adding [!ToggleMeasure cVolumeThrottle] to the LeftMouseDownActions that select the stations:

Code: Select all

[mVolume]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=NowPlaying.dll
PlayerName=[mPlayer]
PlayerType=VOLUME

[cVolumeThrottle]
Measure=Calc
Formula=mVolume
IfAboveValue=50
IfAboveAction= !Execute [!PluginBang "mPlayer SetVolume 50"] [!Disablemeasure cVolumeThrottle]
Disabled=1

....
[MeterStation1]
...
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [!RainmeterPluginBang "mPlayer ClosePlayer"]["#PathToRainRadio#" "#PathToVLC#" "#PathToStations##Station1Link#"][!SetOptionGroup Stations StringStyle Normal][!SetOption MeterStation1 StringStyle BoldItalic] [!ToggleMeasure cVolumeThrottle]

EDIT: need to add the [!ToggleMeasure cVolumeThrottle] in the LeftMouseDownActions otherwise the music just starts blasting away again every time you change the station.

P.S. Another way to do it should be to open VLC player -> Preferences -> Audio -> Check "Always reset audio start level to:" -> 50% although it seems to me that the RadioNow skin starts at whatever volume was last used in the VLC player. This means you just have to open a video in VLC, set the volume to 50% then close the player and open the RadioNow skin.

@Jazzmatazz123, you need to save the PLS or XSPF file locally, within the "Stations" subfolder of the RadioNow folder. Be sure to read the HowTo.txt jsmorley included, as it contains very specific instructions on how to change stations.

Ive found the stations-directory...
Works ! (also with .m3u) Thanks, Matt and jsmorley

JSM FYI,
With VLC 2 and Poiru's new libcad.dll station titles are now not working.

The Artist and Title are working fine for me with the new Libcad.dll and and VLC 2.0. As far as I can tell, all the features I use in the skin are working ok.
