Hi Ken,

Thanks for making this plugin.
JRiver is the most awesome media organisation software out there and you've just made it more awesome by adding features which were part of my "Now, why wouldn't the JRiver guys add something like this?"

Thanks again.

Ken,

I’ve been playing with the Plug-In all along the weekend and works perfectly for me.

However, there are a couple of things that I'd like to know if they could be introduced:

1) Avoid Restore when using the Vol.Up/Down controls on the remote.

2) Activation of the “Automatic Jump to Display” feature separately from the “Restore View” feature. I would keep Automatic Jump activated most of the time, and Restore View only when having guests at home.

Thank You!

Hi Ken,

firstly, fantastic plugin - thanks very much!! I can't beleive this is not standard functionality of MC.

Secondly, I read earlier in the thread that you were considering adding the option of saving the "shutdown" options. Is this something you are still considering as for me it really is essential as MC starts up auto with Windows

Once again thanks

Thanks for a great plugin.  I've only played with the Info Popup so far, and it looks great, but on my multiple monitor setup, it displays the popup in the monitor to the right of the monitor where MC actually is.

Oh I gotcha.  Yes I changed "Show on Screen" to a different number.  You know, on my screen, the dim grey writing of the plugin is only barely legible.  Would you consider making it black?

Cool, gald it worked..

It looks like I need to give it some TLC to be functional in V18, so I may look at altering the appearance a bit..

No promisies though... 8)

FYI I'm using MC 17.  I use F.lux to take some of the blue out of my display so it makes the whites look a little bit dusty colored.  But that grey you are using for the font looks to me like an extremely light grey, even when I disable F.lux.  Thanks for writing the plugin.

Off topic:  I really recommend F.lux (it's free) to all my friends here at JRiver by the way for those of you who stare long hours into a monitor.  I can't imagine how I ever survived without it.  I put it on "night" settings 24 hours a day and my eyes have thanked me.

I realize this is a little different, but I wonder if it's possible to easily modify the plug-in to automatically play a different file when other playback stops. The usage case I'm thinking about is Loopback. I'd like to be able to have loopback on whenever i'm not playing something else. That way when I stop playing a movie within J River and go to an online service (say HBO Go), it will play through loopback without me having to actually select loopback.

Hopefully that made sense. Also, if there is an easy way to do this with current functionality which I've missed, please let me know. I'm using v18.

I have not used the loopback function of MC as of yet. I would have to do a bit of experimentation to see how the process works..

I will have to wrap my head around my code again as it has been  a while since I have looked at it.

Is that realted to a certain file or anything you play? Could you try a few other files from a different album to see if it always fails? Could it be there is no cover art for the file?

Sounds like another one for the todo list now.. Need to error trap that one so I would like to know what made the error come up.

Thanks,

Mostly the pop-up feature that announces the song titles, song playing and next to come (Info Popup). 

I paid to get the Playing Now plug-in, but so far I got no reply...

Bad form to post to such an old thread but does anyone have this working with MC20 or know if it's definitely broken for MC20?  Installed with no errors and I get the popup but it doesn't activate selected Display Mode after specified period of inactivity.

Found your plugin yesterday, which is exactly with the functionality I would like to have!
Running MC 20.27 on Win 8.1. 64

I get an error message "Jump Failed".

I may also have to mention I have installed MetroX Theater View and the MetroX skin, if this makes any relevance?


EDIT: changed back the skin and theater view to default, still error persists.
