Visu off command

weekendowel · 12-09-2005, 05:51 AM

Are there a command to turn the Visualisations on/off. I don't mean to toggle on or off, just to set it off when I send the command even if it is already off. I want to do this because I have some problems when resuming from hibernation with the visu on, so I want to add a line in ExecTBL.ini - ONSUSPEND section to turn visualisations off.

Use CLOSEWINDOW... with the window title of your vis.

Thanks Guino, it works like a charm!

quick question on the visu topic...

is there a way or maybe could an option be easly added that when running full screeen vis to go back to the windowed vis insead of just closing it, cause I usually go to full screen but if I want to change ie..song,vol,mixer..ect, I have to let RR close it, do what I need to do then restart it back up, it would just be nicer to be able to toggle to/from FS in certain skins that have an area set up for it, or at least be able to specify what command/keystroke to be used when exiting FS....

And I'm thinking that in order to make it simple, just use something like a if..else..then statement to just use the default command if an replacement one is not specified... just a thought

Thanks...

If you use the AVS vis, you can click once on it and it returns to normal size -- at least mine does, but may be an option in it.

hmmm I have a similar issue - I use AVS, but I use the overlay feature and throw it onto a color on my skin. I don't know how to close the AVS... I guess I could use closewindow - BUT... what is the window title for the AVS?

guino · 12-11-2005, 08:37 AM

Open RRConfig and if you had already saved your settings as AVS, the window title will display under the Window title setting for the VIS... I don't recall right now, but it's in the forums if you search.

I use whitecap and if I use the enter key I can toggle FS...

what command is being used/sent to rr/winamp upon exsiting FS visu?

What now ?

When you press the VIS button RR simply sends a command to Winamp to Turn the VIS ON/OFF .. if it's full screen or not it's entirely up to the plugin -- unless you resize the window of the VIS plugin when embeding it to the skin.

This thread ties real well in to something I was woeking on in one of the skins I was modifying.

Both menu and audio_player have areas defined for the VISU. The problem is when you go between the two the visualization will not be shown on the next screen (ie., Menu > Audio or Audio > Menu). I would have to click the VISU button twice in order for it to appear. Once to close the window and again to open it.

So I planned on using an AutoIt (.au3) script to do the work for me. I could not match the AVS or WinAmp windows so I had to use the classname. Any way, I still have some work to do with it but this code will open or close the VISU window. My plans are to add so IF...THEN statements and automate it a bit better. However, I may check out the close window function too.

Code:

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
WinActivate("classname=Winamp v1.x","")
Send("^+K")

Finds the Winamp window (even if its hidden) and sends Ctrl+Shift+K which opens/closes the VISU.

EDIT: I think I am still going to end up using the script becuase I'll be able to close the AVS window but probably will not be able to get RR to deteremine if the AVS window was open and re-open it once the next screen is loaded.

I have something to add to this post. Guino, how can you get 2 Visu windows on one skin? My first guess is its not possible but I wanted to hear it from you.

Happy Holidays btw!!!

I don't think it's possible, you can't have 2 application windows in one screen. (I'm trying to make a screen with both GPS and Vis and according to Guino this can only be done by embedding one or the other.)

I tried to use two VISUs be RR would only display one. I was trying to make a 1600x600 skin that could be used for multi-monitors but scrapped it when the VISU wouldn't work the way I wanted (one on each screen).
