RadioNow

[Benjamin Linus]

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.

Thanks for speedy response.
I'll try and establish what's goin' on.

If you are still having issues, let's make sure you and I are in sync. Here is what I am using:

Really needs to be updated to use !CommandMeasure instead of !RainmeterPluginBang, but that won't effect functionality.

[jsmorley]

If you are using RainRadio pretty much as is, here is corrected code to use !CommandMeasure and remove the old "Rainmeter" prefix from a couple of bang names.

Code: Select all

Sorry Jeff, all resolved now i had installed the new VLC where it shouldn't have been
Thanks again for radionow it's so useful, does exactly what it says on the tin.

[jsmorley]

I do notice that the "Bandit Rock" station does not seem to display Artist - Title info. Must be something peculiar to the .pls file for that station. All the other stations seem to work right.

Good deal.

[sajanvjose]

great skin... does the job and does it really well... thanks for the effort...

[Jazzmatazz123]

hi
after VLC-Update (2.0.2 Twoflower) no Songtitle/Interpret will shown.
Also the Volume ist no longer adjustable

Any hints?

[Jazzmatazz123]

ok, it seems to be running if you just type CAD in the empty field in VLC/show settings/Interfacd/Control interfaces/ empty field

further version of VLC 2.0 ? will have a CAD-Now-Playing Box that must be klicked

[Jazzmatazz123]

hi
after a new installation of win7-64 and vlc 2.05 (64Bit-Version) the radionow plays my favorite stations. But its not possible to ends the radionow (must kill the vlc-pid) ;-(
(also, the Songtitle/Interpret- INfo will not shown again)

I suppose that your lib will not work with 64 BIt VLC-Version.
or is there a way to run RADIONOW with 64 Bit VLC ?

thanks in advance
Jazzmatazz
