CoverFlow + RR = Coverjuke

Dot & Toxic:
Sorry I haven't had a chance to get going with this. I thought I had my computer fixed up but it is still acting up. Since the CPU usage of Coverjuke has increased dramatically, I have started to try to think of new ways to integrate this with RR. When I get my computer stable enough, I'm going to look into a true plugin for RR. I intend to use the sources to try to lean down coverjuke to just displaying the cover animation, and delegate playing of the albums or movies to RR. This should cut the CPU back down to normal. But this will take time. Anyone with some coding experience want to jump on board let me know and maybe we can get some headway started.

Good News!
V 1.56 is out and CPU is down tremendously! There is also plugin support for winamp, which I will have to try out as well.

Hi,

which v1.56 had you tested? I downloaded the 1.56 today and install it again.
But, the same result as before:
Below my System. In my Musicfolder are only 4 Albums.

Which settings you use?

Hey man, I just used regular settings like I always have... Here is a screen cap:

I'll try to verify on another computer if I get a chance. I would still like to pursue a trimmed version specific for RR though. Media playback and Tag Reading I think is what is causing the majority of CPU issues as that seems to have been his main focus lately

Wow, getting better all the time. Maybe my Pentium 4 can handle it now.

A guide to what is needed to be done to get this working, would be nice...
Because I don't get it....
You install Coverjuke with it's exe from sourceforge.
You make a .skin file. You call the skinfile from a button in your RR audioplayer skin,
with the command "COVERJUKE","LOAD;coverjuke.skin;Browse by Covers;$skinpath$coverjuke\Coverjuke.exe;!SDL_app".
And....then...?
I'm lost at the rest....

And then there's nothing left to do. Your skin file should open with Coverjuke embedded into it. Lately the new releases have had CPU issues. Version 1.56 seems to have fixed this issue, but I have not had a healthy computer over the past months to work come up with step-by-step instructions again. There is a wealth of information on getting applications embedded in RR, I would suggest scouring those with anymore questions. If you have questions regarding interfacing between coverjuke and RR, then there should be a Covers.exe script that will do that for you. If this is your question, then post up specifically and I will help you get it set up.

What's the latest news on keyboard commands? I want to skin some buttons and use sendkeys for stuff like prev, next, select, first, last, folder menu, reload, etc.

**EL CAMINO** · 06-09-2009, 11:19 PM

you can press F1 and a help screen will popup, select keyboard, to see all available shortcuts.

**ws6vert** · 06-11-2009, 08:16 AM

Latest news is I haven't had a chance to try SendKeys on the new version. Like El Camino said, hit F1 and try to pass a keyboard shortcut to it using Sendkeys. If it doesn't work, I will look at making CJSend work with the new version. I think I will just have to update the Window handle in the script for it to work.
