controlling winamp volume

**wilgartw** · 07-11-2009, 06:49 AM

thanks for this, get some sleep. but when you do have time i cannot get that to work.

i firstly tried to put the extra bits into my existing code. but then i just tried your code straight off.

i changed the voting to

<do function="Send Key To Foreground" functionTargetID="Winamp v1.x:Winamp v1.x" vote_opinion="UP" vote_priority="Low"></do>

which is working when i use a digital switch. but when in your code just does nothing.

Did you change:

Code:

      <variable name="variable_hysteresis">0.25</variable>

to something more reasonable? To match what you had before it would be: 0.06 instead of 0.25 which would make a huge difference. I made it that big so I could test it, but didnt have time.

**wilgartw** · 07-12-2009, 08:17 AM

yes i tried this at 0.25 and 0.06 but got no response from either.

Just so you know, this is on my things to do list. I will try to get my code I posted tested tomorrow-ish.

This summer has been crazy...

**wilgartw** · 07-14-2009, 11:31 AM

thank you, it is appreciated.

**2k1Toaster** · 07-16-2009, 02:08 AM

I'm coding now just FYI...

Ok, well I went a little overkill but I layed the ground work for external plugins.

Right now the potentiometer is internal to the source but within the next few releases that programming could go outside and really do whatever in real programming terms

First run your updater. You need to make sure your version is 5.0.0.234 or nothing will work. Seriously, update...

Then in your config file on the same level as the "all_statements" and "all_tasks" nodes (nested in the "logic" node), you can place:

Code:

    <custom_scripts>
      <custom id="wilgartw_Potentiometer_2009_07_16">
        <votes minimum_delta_vote_time="250">
          <up>
            <do function="Send Key" functionTargetID="Winamp v1.x:Winamp v1.x" vote_opinion="KEY8" vote_priority="Low"></do>
          </up>
          <down>
            <do function="Send Key" functionTargetID="Winamp v1.x:Winamp v1.x" vote_opinion="KEY2" vote_priority="Low"></do>
          </down>
        </votes>
        <thresholds low="0.06" high="0.06"></thresholds>
        <io analogue_port="Potentiometer_Input"></io>
      </custom>
    </custom_scripts>

Do not change the ID. That is how it knows to evaluate the rest of the code as a potentiometer input as defined by this thread hence your username, the date, and a general description in the ID. It is unique.

You can change the minimum delta vote time to whatever you want. Smaller the number, more button presses per second, larger, less presses per second.

The stuff between the "up" and "down" nodes (nested in "votes") can be however long you want. Any standard do statement will work. I just copy pasted your above code and changed the keys to volume up and down.

I can see it getting into the parsing, so if you can get it to work by pressing a display button (not hardware, but GUI based), then it will work with this code. I tested that. I am testing with a virtual brain as my current FB's are somewhat inoperable at the moment because I am flashing new firmware for my senior design project on them, so they dont work for this anymore until I am finished with that. So the virtual brain says it will work... You may need to change the actual do statements to something else, but I can see in the program it gets to the right spot.

The thresholds are exactly like in version 2 of the software, and I am using the values as in your above code. You may need to adjust those, just whatever works best.

The io's "analogue_port" I should have named "analogue_id" but I didnt as I am very sleepy and I dont want to recompile everything for that stupid syntactical error. So change "Potentiometer_Input" to whatever the analogue input's id is that you have your potentiometer connected to (as defined in the major io section [same node level as "logic" and "general" and "gui"]).

The code behind it is copy/paste from version 2 with minor changes to get it to compile and accept XML.

Enjoy...

Now I am off to bed before the sun rises.

**wilgartw** · 07-16-2009, 01:33 PM

sorry, i cannot get that to work, my mdx updater says i am up to date, but how can i tell which version i am on?

this is my whole xml.
i have tried it with "UP" and "DOWN" in the vote options, but in case there was a problem with this i have replaced with "B" as i can see this working with analogue_id "b4_fwd"

i have set the delta tiem to 20ms, as if i turn it up fast i need it to trigger a keysroke every 0.06 increment.

And when you make a button with the same vote options does it work when you click? Because the logic above in both cases is correct and working I have verified.
