Top Toolbar vs Playing Now Popups - Use different commands for time

(1/2) > >>

jack wallstreet:
This wiki - https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Playing_Now_Popup - indicates that {e} and {t} are for a file's elapsed time and total time and that is used in the top toolbar with success.  IN the playing now popup, which I am trying to modify, there is no expression for elapsed time and it appears neither {e} nor {t} work in that popup's main.xml.  I am new to this.  Is there no elapsed time expression for this popup?  Why is playing now popup using [duration] instead of {t}.  Sorry for the ignorance.  Marko suggested using the top toolbar as an example, but those commands in the top toolbar popup don't seem to work in the playing now popup.  There must be something I am missing.

Could you paste the contents of your main.xml here?

It will be easier to help if we can see what you currently have, that's not working.

Here is the main.xml.  In the 6th line, I inserted the {e}//{t} and it shows in the pop-up as {e}/{t}. I was expecting: elapsed time/total time.

Ok, so, you can't use it that way.
It has to be given it's own space in the pop-up layout with its own line in the xml, specifying the type "time" as detailed in the wiki, here: https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Playing_Now_Popup#%22time%22_type

The x and y values dictate where in the pop-up the item will display, where x=0 and y=0 would be the very top left corner, and the width and height values need to be giving enough space to display the desired content.


So, if you look at the entry in the top toolbar xml, the tokens only work because the "time" type is specified, and the other values control placement, size, colour, etc.
