TAGTITLE, TAGARTIST - Question

EL CAMINO · 05-08-2009, 04:45 PM

is there a way to change the data in this label, from an Extention plugin? i tried to set different data and the result was, "TAGTITLE data and NEW DATA" so in other words, if TAGTITLE use to show "BLACK", then in my plugin i want "TAGTITLE" to show "KASHMIR" what RR is showing is both at the same time. "BLACKKASHMIR", i can change indicators but not this labels. so if is possible i can use some help here,by the way i'm using vb 6.0 in a very basic plugin (RRTube).

very simple.. here's how i change "trackname" for rrshoutcast.

Code:

Public Function ReturnLabel(ByVal LBL As String, ByVal FMT As String) As String

        Select Case LCase(LBL)
            

            Case "trackname"
                If ShoutcastStatus = "Tuned" Then
                    ReturnLabel = RRShoutcastTrackName
                End If



        End Select

    End Function

This code preserves the TRACKNAME label unless my plugin is "Tuned". And RRShoutcastTrackName is of course a variable set by a timer function. TAGARTIST,TAGNAME, and any other label can be modified from an extension plugin in the same manner

Code:

        Case "tagtitle"
            If Playing Then ReturnLabel = PlayingVid

if i use this code it wont work, dont know why. all i get is the results i mention before.

Try this:

Code:

        Case "tagtitle"
            If Playing Then ReturnLabel = PlayingVid: LBL = ""

Basically, you should be careful when overriding label/command codes so that you prevent further processing of the label/command by RR and/or other plugins running. For this, all you have to do is empty the label/command code so nothing else processes it (like above). In the case of sonic, it is possible that it isn't an issue if the trackname was blank.
