VLC plugin

**lambosprit** · 08-26-2008, 06:10 PM

Just checked the freedom ultimate skins and had to adjust them.
Now everything is in post 35 for both mbedded and standalone. I have added a readme to the zip file that explains installation.
The new skin also allows playing of any file allowed from video and audio file types in your rrconfig.

Seems to work now

Is it possible to stop the music automatically when I switch to DVD, and stop the DVD when I switch to music?

There is a little typo in post #35:
&mainbut15=VlcDVD@icons\dvd.png@LOAD;vlc.skin;R UN; C:\program files\carputer\road runner\rrvlc.exe;RRVLCscrn1;",""&

There is a space in RUN that does not belong there. Most peoples have installed RR in the following map:
C:\program files\road runner\rrvlc.exe (without carputer)

Maybe that this helps making the integration easier.

Great. Thanks I will fix that and change to the generic path.

It is possible to do the stop music when rrvlc starts etc but what would trigger it. Opening RRvlc? Clicking the dvd button? opening the vlc.skin? Might be a bit more trouble than its worth but if you can come up with a good idea I can do it.

I think that the music should stop when I open the VLC (DVD) player via a menu button. Exiting the VLC (DVD) player should start the music again.

I've now installed your VLC DVD player bar, but I don't really need this. I only want to control the VLC (DVD) when I'm in the VLC (DVD) menu. Is it possible to make this?

The only way to control the rrvlc in this skin is through the vlc dvd bar. It is just available in every screen. Not sure why you think you dont need this.

Have you thought about using just the rrvlc for video AND music? The you dont have to worry about music playing over video.

I think the disadvantage of using VLC as music player that you have to make play lists. In the Ultimate skin audio player you can select a map with Mp3 songs to play which is easy to use without preparing an M3u list.

would it be possible to get some help with this I want to use it with dfx but I honestly have no idea where to begin

I cant get this work either. It seemed simple I thought, any1 have a better walk through?

**lambosprit** · 03-27-2009, 11:40 AM

have you checked the debug log?
You can send me the log and I'll have a look if its not obvious.

I got Yonu working so should be able to with you too.
