WHipped up a quick XML builder
Drop the files in to your RR directory then double click the MUSICXMLBUILDER.EXE
Then copy the covers.xml to your skin folder.
HAVE FUN and enjoy

Great stuff Thunderstick! Haven't tried it yet, but it really is needed....

As for the buttons, yeah, they are pretty hard to see, especially on light covers...can and will be definately fixing this..

Actually , I'm planning on making the swf user configurable, much like my other FlashFlex swf buttons and such, (check them out if you haven't already in my skin thread).

One of the main things I'd like to do is make the covers flip to show the backside with a cool animation, hence the non operating rotate button..

What would really be cool is if you or anyone else could make an autoit script to dynamically create the xml file on demand while audio browsing ... like say,- press the covers button while in the audio_browser skin - have a script run that searches the currently selected folder and subfolders for folder.jpg - generate xml file pointing to said folders - run covers.swf....

Just throwing out an idea as well,
what if you flip the cd and it shows the list of songs from that directory on the back side of the CD case. Which will allow you to click on the songs from that list.
Now this would be cool.

Damn , yes that would be cool, it must be done...hmmm, let me see..thinking cap on

I dont think this is a cover mess issue, but when changing songs RR is not updating the Artist name correctly.

pcpete · 04-17-2009, 08:11 AM

I'm not displaying artist name on my skin currently so I can't tell, it's supposed to come from the tag right?

carputer1 · 04-17-2009, 08:35 AM

on the wrong comp to try this , but maybe a RELOADLIST cmd needs to be added to the play button in the app

pcpete · 04-17-2009, 08:42 AM

Can add that pretty easy, will do some more testing to try to see if it is needed, right now thiese are the commands I'm sending...

fscommand("SETPATH;"+temp[0]); -> album directory as specified in xml
fscommand("!SELECT");

carputer1 · 04-17-2009, 08:58 AM

so i would say put the reloadlist cmd to follow the !select cmd, this will reload the playlist and the tag line, should in theroy solve it, this is what i did for coverjuke which had the same problem

do you have a playlist (hidden or not) on the screen? That should solve it

pcpete · 04-17-2009, 09:36 AM

OK, did a small update with reloadlist....

I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly, but if you look at my first post I kinda mention this, is that the right way to do it?

sometimes yes.. sometimes no. Instead of making the dimensions 0,0,0,0 make it -1000,-1000,1000,1000 to allow larger playlists to fit in memory (thats how it was explained to me)

Blue ZX3 · 04-17-2009, 10:20 AM

That would also be on thing that I'd really like to get rid of...having to have a hidden PL.

pcpete · 04-17-2009, 10:25 AM

Thx sonic, updated my instructions...

Yeah, that would be nice blue...I'm going to be trying you rr media plugin with this, any thing I should be aware of ?
