RR 06-06-05 .. Winamp Library Support ...

**guino** · 06-07-2005, 08:38 PM

You can use ANY skin with the new library feature, the updated skins only offer some options the old skins didn't have... there's no "update" for the skins since they're almost completely rebuilt -- there are only FULL skins available now.

hey guino, i hope your around, cause im trying to figure the app thingy out. (2) part question.
(1)- im using iguidance and as external gps it does pullup, but i cant get it to set the size nor embed in RR. Also when its loaded I cant leave it to change music and stuff because when i click gps to go back it just restarts it (even though its already loaded **loads it again and again**......
(2)-apps- i cant seem to add application, ive followed the layout from the existing APPS -*folder with ini file*, it will load the program, but it does the same as the gps it will keep loading it when you click on it (instead it should just switch to it), and it doesnt embed either..

im not *newby*, but the i guess im missing someething in my logic on the APPS loader..

Thanks

Chuck

it seems that when searching if my file structure points to drive d as my music dir and the file folder structure is
D:/album1
D:/album2
D:/album3

and i do a search showing album 1 2 and 3 (not clicking on them but just as it will populate by default) AND do a search it will just say "Looking for folders.."

But if I move my structure to something like

D:/fluff/album1
D:/fluff/album2
D:/fluff/album3

and if i open the fluff folder and search then it will search the sub folders

any ideas on how to remedy this

how many files total do you have ? the more files you have, the longer it will take "looking for folders" on the first search. RR will be unresponsive until that is completed.. after the first search, it should be a lot faster. I have all my music organized in Genre\Artist\Album and I do searches on the entire drive and it gets to be faster than library searches (from the 2nd search on). When it says "Looking for folders..." it is doing exactly that. It seems to work better using the fluff folders simply because it is only searching from that point on (which is a lot less folders).

I'll likely be looking at it soon.. I have to get my BT adapter from the car and install it on my desktop to test this again.

is it possible to have control over phidget outputs, just as there is monitoring of phidget inputs? i may be asking more than i think, but i plan on having an analog phidget with sensors, and a digital phidget with on/off's for 16 ins and outs... would be fabulous to control in flash via RR, but that may be outside the scope of RR....

I don't have any Phidgets hardware to work/test that stuff.. but it should be very simple to make a small "background" plugin that could control and send statuses of the Phidgets hardware onto RR's skins so that it would all look as "built-in" RR. You can do that with normal skins or with Flash skins or both since it's all the same to RR.

is it simple to explain how to make an external program show up as RR to the flash fscommand? i'm just starting to get into this programming thing, for want of getting my own projects under control (getting climate controls into the 'puter, namely)

**guino** · 06-08-2005, 03:19 PM

oh yeah.. in VB6, just copy the Flash.ctl file from RR's source, add it to your project, place it on a form (with whatever size you want), then double click the flash object and select the "FlashCommand" event and add your code (it receives the 2 parameters from Flash which you use to tell it what to do). Then all you have to do is when loading the form/application you should set the Movie property with the flash file to use in that object. That's as simple as that..

I was reindexing my mp3 tags so I could see the artist and song name. But this update seems to have fixed what I was going after. Thanks I really appreciate it!!!
