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

guino · 06-05-2005, 10:29 PM

Ok, here's what I came up with for this version:

-Added Support for Winamp Library Database (Albums/Artists/Genres Lists)
-Added Option to remove ".." from folder lists
-Added MM Direction Indicator Support (Thanks 307SW_NLD) (Untested)
-Added XM Channel change (preset) skin/sdk command
-Added Option to disable hibernate handling (for those with freeze issues)
-Added Support For PhoCo Mixer preset (untested)
-Added Support for Muting/Unmuting audio lines in the mixer
-Added Support to toggle Repeat/Shuffle by clicking on indicators
-Added Support for Alpine Skin's Search Screens
-Added Support for polling XM Channel Info on labels
-Improved HideMouse function to "blank" the System Cursor
-Modified XM Satellite Signal information to reflect Quality
-Modified PostalCode input to use the normal OSK Mappoint
-Fixed sound issues with Direct XM<->Radio Switching
-Updated RRConfig Tool
-Updated Brush Metal/Aluminum skin files

Notes:
-Database Support (Winamp Library) is totally optional, I use file names only (because it's a lot easier to organize + it is a lot faster).
* You can simply hit browse in the artist/album etc to browse through your DB. Hit back to start over. You can search the whole DB by hitting the search button on the DB titles or search from the current selection you made so far. You should set your watch folders/scanning settings on Winamp to your liking.
-Haven't tested the MM Direction indicators (307SW_NLD can probably fill you in with this)
-To Disable Hibernate Handling add: HibernateAware=False to RR.INI
-Haven't tested the Phoco mixer stuff, but should work since I used standard/pre-tested functions to do it. You should most likely DISABLE the volume controls in PHOCO itself.
-Tweaked the Skin files a bit, mostly text colors and such (no image changes).
-There's a "loading banner" now -- I guarantee you that it will not slow down the start process in any way, but it will tell you what's going on. I did this so I could discard unused code from memory after loading, plus, give some user feedback. You can disable the Loader using the (Quiet) command line parameter: /Q
-To hide the ".." from the folder lists, add this to your RR.INI: hidedots=true

Thanks for your support,
Guino.

Guino, I have tested the Preset for PhoCo. When a call is done or is incoming, the Phone preset is correctly loaded, but when i press the hangup button to terminate the call, the previous preset is not restored

I have to test it myself.. but did you DISABLE the Phoco volume controls in PHOCO settings -- I remember I had trouble with it.

Mr.Fabio · 06-06-2005, 12:19 PM

Onestly i have to check this setting, dont remember now. I will let you know later

Mr.Fabio · 06-06-2005, 04:19 PM

Nothing to do. I've double checked and still doesn't release the phone preset at the end of the call. Seems like in a first moment the preset returns to his previous state, and after a while it returns on Phone.....

Some people just like having disorganized files and organized tags, the lib support allows you to browse by artist/album/genre instead of by file. All you have to do is setup the library settings in Winamp (with the folder of your files) and have it build the database. Then RR will find and show that info.
