i) the ability to show how progress of the playlist, eg. track 12 of 32 in a 32 track playlist

also when the window comes up in the bottom right corner, media center can't be used, in other words i can't select a file in mc for those few seconds when the box is being displayed

anyhelp?

Tanushan,

Both of those features are currently available...

the ability to show how progress of the playlist, eg. track 12 of 32 in a 32 track playlist

This is up to the individual skin disigner.  For instance 10th's Brushed Metal skin allows this.

also when the window comes up in the bottom right corner, media center can't be used, in other words i can't select a file in mc for those few seconds when the box is being displayed

I do not know if it is possible to do anything with this window other than changing song ratings...talk to Rhino about that.  I do know it is possible to change the amount of time the windows appears be editing the PlayingNow.ini.  (C:\WINDOWS\PlayingNow.ini)  Under the "popups" section.

It's because the window is shown/hidden synchronously.   As nathanchavez the only thing you can do in the short term is decrease the times.   I see how much work it will be to change this behaviour.

now i used brushed metal and am getting this error message

could not save image to the file....

[RhinoBanga]

Sounds like you have logging/ftp enabled.   You get this if the FTP transfer hasn't completed when PN tries to save the next image.   It can't do it as the FTP client still has it locked.

how can i fix it? i've tried everything!

[RhinoBanga]

You haven't told me if you have logging and or ftp enabled.

If you have switch them off to see if the issue goes away.

Also does using one of my own supllied skins work ok?   If so then it may be a problem with the skin itself in which case you should contact the author of it.

[Tanushan]

thx man i fixed it and yes everthing works well

just one minor question, is there a way to put the duration of the next / previous song in there like <duration.next> of some similar command?

[RhinoBanga]

Very simple ... to get the duration of the next track use:

<"Next.Duration">


And to get the previous use:

<"Previous.Duration">

[nathanchavez]

Just curious...but did you install the plugin somewhere else then the defaults?  I remember I had that problen once too.  I had to edit the ini with the correct path.  Right now it's set for the default instillation path.  If that is the case please post.

[Tanushan]

cool thanks for your help, is there anything u haven't included?

also is there anyway to make the text in the playing now window scroll when it can't fit?

Well it doesn't make the tea ... but I'm sure I could do something about that if I really wanted to

also is there anyway to make the text in the playing now window scroll when it can't fit?

No but I have an alternative solution which will be in the next version ... tooltips!

[Tanushan]

one more question is there a command for the length of the entire duration of the playlist to be shown, like <"playlist.duration"> of something?


thx

[RhinoBanga]

No ... but I may consider it for the future.
