Topic: Windows 7 Taskbar Plugin New Release (Read 10056 times)

danrien · « **on:** September 02, 2013, 11:07:33 am »

All, after a long wait, I've gotten around to releasing a new version of the Windows 7 Taskbar plug-in! I've finally added support for adding Playlists to the Windows 7/8 jumplist.

See screenshots and read more at http://davidvedvick.info/2013/09/02/coding/version-0-9-4-of-windows-78-j-river-integration-media-center-plug-in/

Enjoy!

I've installed latest versions of MC18 and MC19. I installed your plugin into MC18 plugin folder (but I guess this doesn't matter?!). Both versions are freezing completely after I installed your plugin. Unistalling the plugin fixed it.

This looks good - it's a shame that official taskbar support is such a low priority for the JRiver team. I understand that they are moving towards multiplatform development, but I don't know of any other player on Windows lacking support for it.

Would it be possible to have rating options in the jump list?

Code: [Select]

★☆☆☆☆     C:\Windows\System32\MC19.exe /MCC 10023,1
★★☆☆☆     C:\Windows\System32\MC19.exe /MCC 10023,2
★★★☆☆     C:\Windows\System32\MC19.exe /MCC 10023,3
★★★★☆     C:\Windows\System32\MC19.exe /MCC 10023,4
★★★★★     C:\Windows\System32\MC19.exe /MCC 10023,5

And is it possible to provide a zip file instead of an installer? (I don't like not knowing what an installer is doing)

Jumplist does not run the song. Why?

When I click on the playlist (pinned), is added to the same playlist that is playing. Why?

Have you tried version 0.93? I'd be interested to know if this was introduced with v 0.94

Good idea! This could be an idea for the "User Tasks" area. I may be setting up a poll to see what we could put in the User Tasks area, this would be a good one I think.

Hm interesting, I hadn't tried that test case. I will look into it. Thanks Fabricio!

Fabricio,

I just attempted to reproduce your issue and couldn't. What do you have selected on this screen?

I'd guess this could be connected with my problem... I don't know what all this means, but as I see the word "Playlist" in there, I suspected my potentially high number of playlists to be the trigger here. I created a new library, to see if this has any effect on this. And it has: no freezing any more with an empty library.

Possible that many playlists causing your plugin to ~~slow down~~ freeze because it needs to analyse them for the creation of the jumplist?!

edit: even waiting for half an hour doesn't unfreeze MC.

Alright. Waiting ...

I'd guess this could be connected with my problem... I don't know what all this means, but as I see the word "Playlist" in there, I suspected my potentially high number of playlists to be the trigger here. I created a new library, to see if this has any effect on this. And it has: no freezing any more with an empty library.

Possible that many playlists causing your plugin to ~~slow down~~ freeze because it needs to analyse them for the creation of the jumplist?!

edit: even waiting for half an hour doesn't unfreeze MC.

That's very possible. It builds a tree view of the playlists which may have some bugs in it. Could you characterize your playlist set-up better? It would be ideal if you could send me a screenshot of your playlist set-up, or a print-out of it somehow, but if your concerned about privacy then just a characterization would be nice, i.e. levels of tree nesting, number of playlists, etc.

What do you need to know? 2.600 Play-/Smartlists nested in different groups and up to 6 subgroups. ~~I pasted my playlist structure in the attached rar-file~~. You got the password via PN.

I have posted a new version up on Google code.

Changes:
- Loading playlist tree now happens in background thread
- Playlist Jumplists are now server specific
- Clicking on a playlist clears the "Now Playing" playlist and starts the one selected

@StFeder: moving the playlists to loading in the background may not fix all of your problems, but it should at least prevent loading the playlists from hanging Media Center.

I look forward to hearing your feedback!

Also, please note that due to making the playlists server specific, any previously selected playlists will be cleared from your settings page, and will not have the last change applied to them!

What are "all my problems"? The only problem was the freezing. Should there be other bugs I just couldn't see because of the freezing?

Going to test this later that day... Thanks!

Haha well for what it's worth I'm concerned about the messages that are being output - I haven't seen those on my own set-ups. So I'm not sure if I've tackled the actual problem, but hopefully I've tackled the symptom at least

It now seems to works. MC doesn't freeze, but strangely it doesn't use much prozessor time?! Looks perfect.

All three types of Progress Indicator are working as well as the selection of playlists for jumplist.

Only a view questions/suggestions:

The sentence "Progress Indicator Type" isn't really visible on black on black skin. It's kind of "black on black"
What does the option "Enable Cover Art Thumbnail" do?
When "Display Artist [...] in the Title Bar" isn't selected, it only shows "JRiver Media Ce" although it is still a full "Center"
The list of Jumplist Playlists isn't sorted alphabetically.

Thanks for making this plugin

Great to hear it's working for you!

To answer your points:

What skin are you using? I would be interested to see this behavior, as I mostly use White background/Black text skins.
The "Enable Cover Art Thumbnail" is for displaying the Cover Art of the playing track in the Taskbar preview.
That might be a little bug (although probably not a big deal for most people)! I'll look into it.
I'm going to try to get the sorting to be more like the native sorting in JRiver so it's not so weird to use. But this is pretty low-priority for me

I'm using Black on Black (beside a special version of MetroX). Black on Black is one of the stock skins of MC.

I saw this but I was sure MC did this on its own. I uninstalled your plugin once again just to see: it doesn't. Nice function!

Of course no big deal! Especially as most people (me including) will use the option to display the Artist and Track name there. But wouldn't it be nice to have a app without glitches

I don't use the Jumplist feature, so this doesn't really bother me. But if I did, I don't know how long it would take to find a playlist in an unsorted list with +1000 Playlists

One suggestion: wouldn't it be nice (and perhaps easy to add?!) to give the option to show whatever one wants in the Title Bar? I'm thinking of a field where users are able to type something like "[Track #] - [bpm] ([Name])" to customize what is shown there.

Once again (because it's the most important point

): A great plugin! Easy to install, uninstall, configure, use and it's free and very usefull! Thanks!

Thanks so much StFeder!

danrien · « **Reply #20 on:** September 07, 2013, 10:29:45 am »

The problem with the window title being truncated to "J River Media Ce" has been fixed. Thanks again, StFeder! With that, and a lack of other bugs being reported with the new playlist feature in the taskbar plug-in, I'm going to call this 0.9.4 final! Enjoy everyone!
