Automatic Fullscreen "Now Playing" for Music - smuto - 2010-08-25 19:58

My custom control become visible with a System.IdleTime(15)
I would like to change the set time from GUI, so i add 2 controls to SkinSetting

Code:

<control type="radiobutton" id="115">

    <width>750</width>

    <height>40</height>

    <font>font13</font>

    <label>Teraz odtwarzane</label>

    <textcolor>grey2</textcolor>

    <focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>

    <texturefocus>MenuItemFO.png</texturefocus>

    <texturenofocus>MenuItemNF.png</texturenofocus>

    <onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(nowplayingwindow)</onclick>

    <onclick>Skin.SetString(applytime, 10)</onclick>

    <selected>Skin.HasSetting(nowplayingwindow)</selected>

</control>

    <control  type="button" id="116">

    <width>750</width>

    <height>40</height>

    <font>font13</font>

    <label> - ustaw czas</label>

    <label2>$INFO[Skin.String(applytime)] sekund</label2>

    <textcolor>grey2</textcolor>

    <focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>

    <texturefocus>MenuItemFO.png</texturefocus>

    <texturenofocus>MenuItemNF.png</texturenofocus>

    <onclick>Skin.SetNumeric(applytime)</onclick>

    <visible>Skin.HasSetting(nowplayingwindow)</visible>

</control>

so i add conditional visibility

Code:

<visible>Player.HasAudio + System.IdleTime($INFO[Skin.String(applytime)])</visible>

but this InfoLabel is not working or I'm doing something wrong

What's the value of applytime in your guisettings.xml after you set it?

- smuto - 2010-08-25 21:36

it's ok -

Code:

<setting type="bool" name="skin.confluence.nowplayingwindow">true</setting>

<setting type="string" name="skin.confluence.applytime">10</setting>

& i can change it by numeric popup

i mod confluence skin to have now playing window.
i create include "MusicNowPlay" with some of MusicPlayer $INFO tags & put it in separate file (mostly copy from Jezz_X work)

IncludesMusicNowPlay.xml

i edit skin file 'includes.xml' to make it run
- add my file

PHP Code:

    <include file="IncludesMusicNowPlay.xml" /> 

- add "MusicNowPlay" to "WindowTitleHomeButton"

PHP Code:

    <include name="WindowTitleHomeButton">
        <control type="group">
            <posx>20</posx>
            <posy>0</posy>
            <animation effect="slide" end="-270,0" time="400" tween="quadratic" easing="out" condition="Window.Next(Home)">WindowClose</animation>
            <animation effect="slide" start="-270,0" time="400" tween="quadratic" easing="out" condition="Window.Previous(Home)">WindowOpen</animation>
            <control type="image">
                <posx>0</posx>
                <posy>0</posy>
                <width>80</width>
                <height>35</height>
                <texture border="0,0,32,0">header.png</texture>
            </control>
            <control type="button">
                <hitrect x="0" y="0" w="60" h="30" />
                <posx>20</posx>
                <posy>5</posy>
                <width>25</width>
                <height>20</height>
                <texturenofocus>HomeIcon.png</texturenofocus>
                <texturefocus>HomeIcon-Focus.png</texturefocus>
                <label>-</label>
                <onclick>ActivateWindow(Home)</onclick>
            </control>
        </control>
        <include>MusicNowPlay</include>
    </include> 

of course i can add to skin settings on/off, but set value for System.IdleTime is what i'm looking for

recently discovered that plugin can be used to multiimage control

PHP Code:

<imagepath>plugin://plugin.image.artistmultifanart</imagepath> 

- add multiimage control to my file IncludesMusicNowPlay.xml

- i write a plugin to have a images for currently playing artist
plugin.image.artistmultifanart

looks like skin needs send params to refresh the listing

PHP Code:

<imagepath background="true">plugin://plugin.image.artistmultifanart/?name=$INFO[MusicPlayer.Title]</imagepath> 

i rewrite a plugin
plugin.image.artistmultifanart-1.0.2.zip
