Navigation Mute
Of the all of the navigation software people are using, which if any of them mute the media player, i.e. winamp and so forth, during voice prompts?
Which of the navigation system do you guys recommend?

Destinator 3 pauses FrodoPlayer as well as lowering the volume in Winamp...
Iguidance doesnt do any of that but it's much better then Destinator.
I personally think the Destinator 3 front end made by ninja money sucks compared to Iguidance.

I have a solution for Iguidance/Routis (at least the old one) but it has to be added to the front end or player and I don't know if you can do this in VB. Proably so, but anyway, here it is in C++:
Code:
HANDLE m_hNotify;
// Start the watch thread
void StartFileNotify()
{
DWORD dwThreadID;
CreateThread( (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) NULL, 2048,
(LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE) _FileWatchThread,
(LPVOID)this, 0, &dwThreadID );
}
// Close the notify handle, stops the thread
void StopFileNotify()
{
if(m_hNotify)
FindCloseChangeNotification(m_hNotify);
m_hNotify = NULL;
}
// Stub for C++ class stuff (not needed for VB)
static DWORD FAR PASCAL _FileWatchThread(LPSTR lpData)
{
CRoutisMutis *pRM = (CRoutisMutis *)lpData;
pRM->FileWatchThread();
return TRUE;
}
// The actual watch thread
void FileWatchThread()
{
static char szPath[] = "C:\\Program Files\\Deluo\\Routis\\Snd\\";
DWORD dwRTimer = 0;
m_hNotify = FindFirstChangeNotification( szPath, FALSE, FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_LAST_ACCESS );
if( m_hNotify == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )
{
m_hNotify = NULL;
return;
}
while(m_hNotify)
{
FindNextChangeNotification(m_hNotify);
while( WaitForSingleObject(m_hNotify, 1000) == STATUS_TIMEOUT )
{
if(dwRTimer)
{
dwRTimer--;
if(!dwRTimer)
Unmute();
}
}
if(m_hNotify)
{
Mute();
dwRTimer = 3; // mute for 3 seconds
}
}
}
It's just a thread that watches for reads in the Routis sounds folder, and any time you get a notification, you can lower the volume of the player or mute it, then after 3 seconds of no file reads, it will unmute/raise the volume.
Anyway, hope it's of use to someone!

Curiosity - I have to second the monkey on this one... that is an awesome idea.
So Frodo, when should we expect implementation?

When I completely parse in my brain how to do this, I will work
on some test code. Once the test code is working, I can
give an estimate.

No your not, your yunusyu.
It's not the code, it's one of those "Damn! Why didn't I think of doing it that way?!" kind of things that no one had thought of before.
Curiosity is busting out some mad "thinking outside the box" skillz.
mmm... twinkies

Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I am of the opinion that Unless you can do better, don't knock it.
