Yes... I'm still writing a detailed help file on how to do that.

Short version:
Pick an unused button in any skin (incl. SEARCHFILES),
Change the code to something like this:

Code:

B06,629,214,150,80,"RUN;D:\Programs\Road Runner\Skins\ZdGrey.Copy\Extra\JTFEP.exe"

Basically you're looking to change anything from the last comma (,) onwards.

Obviously the path in your case has to point to the right place.
Also, for convenience porpuses, rename the long file to something shorter like 'JTFEP.exe'
If you're going to move the .exe, don't forget the 'Images' folder.

NICE!! thanks a lot.. I knew it was something like that, Im jus not familar with syntax for the commands..haha RUN is simple enough for me

Thanks!~

hmm I dont really care about this that much, but maybe someone else would like the capability to be able to double click the song (or touch) the song to play it instead of the highlight n play. both functions not take away one

uhm.. actually probably no one cares about that

Touching the song selects it so that the user can either play it or enqueue it.
Doubleclicking on a touchscreen is a tough thing to do.
I don't want to frustrate anyone.

If somebody really wants/needs to have doubleclick enabled, I'll give it a try. Otherwise, I don't see the point, either.

DJiK, one request: in the current 'integrated' version, after pressing play is there a way for jtf to hide and rr to go back to the audio player screen?

Yes.

The file from the post above would close JTF after pressing play.
If you've integrated it with RR using the "RUN" command (read post #32), RR would go back to the previous screen after pressing play.

DJiK, Wow, id didn't expect you to go get a different version of Winamp on my account! I appreceiate the help though, as this looks like it would be a FANTASTIC replacement for the weak playlist and search capabilities in RR.

I removed Winamp, went and got a clean copy, didn't even use the one I had here, and still no go

Followed your dirrections to the T and all is well till I try to configure the plugin. as soon as I hit the Config buton, thats when everything locks up.

Here is a snapshot of my screen: (I drug the CPU meter into the frame to show I was running at 100%, on a 3.4 Ghz P4 none the less...This is my desktop PC, NOT the CarPC running at 3.4Ghz! )


I am going to bite the bullet and go for the more bloated Winamp 5.x and see if I can get this to work.

I'll let you know how it goes

Just DL's and installed Winamp 5.24, and all is well! Works like a champ. Now to get off the forum and test it all out.

Ya know, this is all I needed yet ANOTHER app to have to skin!!

First I had to skinn RR, then IGMon for iGuidance, and then iGuidance itself with ResHacker, and now this.... This CarPC stuff is sure sucking up my extra time!

Thanks for a great program!

It's weird how it doesn't work in Winamp 2.95, but anyway...
If you've reinstalled the JTF plugin after installing Winamp 5.24, then it shouldn't give you any problems with hibernation/suspend.
You'll find that it works just as well in your CarPC as v2.95 did.

As for skinning... I haven't written anything up, but hopefully it's self explanatory:
Keep all file names and image sizes (pixel-wise) the same.

Thanks for trying out my program!
If you experience any technical difficulties, you know where to post.

I'll do my best to release v1.0 and all of the related documentations by the end of this week.
