Send front end commands to ICE3 - Page 2

Aha! It used to be that you couldn't get at the spaces using AS.

Keep up the good work! It's going to be a great addition to the OS X installs.

I'm a complete noob to AS, but this looks very interesting.

since ICE³ doesn't support CD-Audio, I want to set the insert audio CD to pause ICE³ (in space1), then switch to space2, open iTunes and start playing..

I can trigger the script from 'insert AudioCD" in the preferences, and I can set iTunes to start playing the CD straight away.. that's easy. but ICE³ still plays too - so the sound comes from both players

as I said, I may need some hand-holding here from a generous person - at least the list of button names, and a generic script (like the one above *thanks*).

I'm getting more excited now

lol, so If I understand you need the script that would simply PAUSE the music from ICE3 ?

It may be tricky since ICE3 doesnt have the AUDIO commands on the HOME page, I'll run some tests and let you know what could be done

EDIT: Here's the simple scripts that check if ICE3 is running, if not NO command are sent, If it is running, it sends the right command to PAUSE or UNPAUSE (yes its the same command for both command)

NOTE: the following code only pause the music from AUDIO (video below)

Code:

if appIsRunning("ICE³") then
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "ICE³"
			click button "Pause" of group 1 of window 1
		end tell
	end tell
end if

on appIsRunning(appName)
	tell application "System Events" to return name of every process contains appName
end appIsRunning

NOTE: the following code only Pause the VIDEO

Code:

if appIsRunning("ICE³") then
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "ICE³"
			click button "Pause" of group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1
		end tell
	end tell
end if

on appIsRunning(appName)
	tell application "System Events" to return name of every process contains appName
end appIsRunning

This code could be even BETTER if we could check on which ICE3 screen we are, but I didnt see any way to achieve this FOR NOW! I hope this is helping a little

Let me know if this fits ur needs!

Took me couple minutes to figure a way to check on which PANEL ICE3 is.

NOTE: The following CODE checks if the "Coverflow view" button is present, if not...nothing to do. If the button name is present, it clicks on the "Coverflow view" and then click PAUSE

I will modify this script later to put the PANEL name into a variable and use it for all my scripts

but for now...here's the script

Code:

if checkICE3Panel("Coverflow View") then
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "ICE³"
			click button "Coverflow View" of group 1 of window 1
			click button "Pause" of group 1 of window 1
		end tell
	end tell
end if

on checkICE3Panel(ButtonName)
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "ICE³" to return name of every button of group 1 of window 1 contains ButtonName
	end tell
end checkICE3Panel

Firstly, great work on the AS. I wouldn't know where to even start with it.

Secondly, our source code will only become available once we are tired of it. Sorry.

Its alright good to have some news

when is the new update coming?

Maybe you could integrate my script into your code and work together
