oh my. I may have to redesign my track info mod.

That's the idea

Firstly Zetto thx a lot for a nice design. Small request .... as my image shows I have modded your code a bit because I like to see extra info in my T.I. panel. In the album box it scrolls if the name is too long. Which part of the code can i copy and paste to make this happen in my "Riddim" and "Label" box.
TIA
Mr E



Sorry for large image ......I posted the wrong imageshack shortcut (its been a while since I posted an image)

I know the question wasn't addressed to me,but so happened to be that i have the solution.
It's the part of unreleased SDK v1.1.Scrolling info.Just enter the info you want to be scrolled and place it where you need it.

thax russell777 for quick reply..... its nearly 1am here and Iv tried for nearly an hour to get this right and its driving me mad. I am no good at coding plus Im very tired so please show me where to put it ( I will post my code)
TIA
Mr E

Go get some sleep,you'll get it first thing in the morning.It needs some serious tweaking.

Well i've changed quite a lot,but i like the result,special thanks goes to Zetto for creating the mod.Download

One quick question - in 1.8.1 VIP, what exactly does the second progress bar represent (under the track title display)? And what piece of code creates it? It seems to always be stuck around halfway, but does change from track to track.

It is not a progress bar, but a relative quality indicator bar representing the relative quality of the track.

Supersized! Created with the SDK 1.0

(Edit 10/11/06 re: Minor line-up adjustments so as to accomodate bold text)

Russell777. You're a star! Thanks a lot. It works perfectly.

Hello,

I have just had an idea... Its just to help me make home stereo display fit better with my foobar config but i am sure other people would like it... Its just been an idea so i havent had a look at trying to edit the code to do what I want it... I just thought I would post it so i dont forget about it, and incase someone else allready knows how to do it with out ease.

Below is just a photshopped image of what it my idea is... Just to have the tech info right underneith the track info... Should be simple enough and I will have a go at it later.

VERSION 1.9.1 NANO IS OUT (see the first post)
I can't believe it,but i shrinked it even more!Also now you can throw away your playback order toolbar,
just click on the wanted mode till you get the desired one.Hope you like it,enjoy

DON'T FORGET TO GET THE LATEST TRACKINFO MOD PANEL!

Using it, love it, love you

*worships*

The updates get better and better

Thanks

first thanx for your FANTASTIC work, Russell777
me was very happy bout the sdk, espacially!
and your latest screens are really awesome...

just a suggestion:
i personally do not like the "scrolling" in the track-info, so i mixed your idea of "swapping" Bitrate, Samplerate & Compression with your TI-Code. As i just need %artist% and %title% in the TI, it is not as complex as your code. but maybe you like the idea.:
instead of scrolling the text when it is longer than the needed space it alternates between %artist% and %title%. this "swapping" can be turned on and of in the global options.

another idea is to use "swapping" and "scrolling" together: if a "swapped" part of the TI is too long it will be scrolled.... (but as i do nit like scrolling i just $cut the part wich is too long):

in order to visualize what i mean you have to find tracks with long tags or you just reduce "window" and windowsize" in the globals:



EDIT: not willing to edit all those typos

EDIT (2006-10-23):

fixed - code did not support symbolinfo-casefixes in swapping mode
fixed - swapping did not work with symbolinfo off
boxed the code

Nice one really,i'm sure many ppl will use it.As for swapping and scrolling all together:i gave it a thought before,but found that it requires too complicated and massive coding so i dropped the idea/

thanks, but i am still regarding myself as a newbie who just want's to learn.
"massive coding" is the right word to describe f2k's visual potential:
(nearly) everything i possible, just enough time is needed

Just in case somebody will really use this code:
it was edited to perform the symbolinfo-casefix in swapping mode, too.

(question concerning posting in general: how do i make the code-box smaller, so it can be scrolled in a post?!)

Just add "box" to [/code] and [code] statements

Please update the link to the slarv theme. It timed out and this is the new one.. I am pretty sure this is the exact same files as the last one but its possible its a bit different.

I've uploaded it to FTP.

How can I add the clickable portions to the 1.8.1. VIP???
(The buttons are defined, but I think changing the positions should do it. But can I find out what the grid positions should be???)

There are buttons in 1.8.1,you just need custominfo component to get them working.Anyway i'll post an update to 1.8.x brunch soon.

I know there are buttons and they're configured (and I have the custominfo component installed), however I think the grid-locations of the buttons are not corresponding with the locations where I have got them.
Or is there another explanation why they're not working??

I'll check it,just give me some time

Found something already??

The rating feature of 1.91 Nano doesn't work for me.

I installed the newest version of track info mod and cwb_hook. Then I followed the instructions and added the masstagger scripts in the correct order. After that I pasted the code from code/V_1_9_1.txt .

Even after a restart didn't help.

Any ideas how to get the rating working?

Thanks in advance

By default the rating option is set to work with custominfo component,if you want to use masstager instead,set
$puts(write_tags,1)

Hi

I have problems with style version 1.7.2. It doesn't work for me with the lastest track info mod... [all background frames are displaced]...
I can't find horizontal/vertical padding settings... :/

my actual components:


and image where the problem was depicted


and yes, I want to use this "old" one style :]

Sorry to tell you,that this version of HSD is designed for an old version of trackinfo mod panel and won't
work correctly with any of the recent versions.Maybe if i have some extra hour or two i'll rewrite this one for you.
P.S.:Nice music taste

I'm not sure why, but none of the info in the trackinfo is updating. The artist - title area doesn't scroll, the track position numbers don't change from 00:00 etc. It's just neutral.

And no, it's not on pause

It's because the code structure needs to be adjusted for the latest trackinfo mod panel version,I'll do it as soon as i can.

Hey Russell777,

I noticed on my FLAC files that the size was not being calculated properlywhen they were larger than 10 MB. I thought I would share my changes with you. This is what I am using to get proper file sizes (in MB).

Thanks,i'll include it when i'll rewrite the ode for the new trackinfo mod

hi just a little problem , had to back up my system , and now the symbol for standby is missing ... am i missing a font ? everything ok except the standby icon.. thanks in advance

Yep,you need to reinstall this font

oh ok thanks Russel777

hmm , now theres another problem .. everything is up to date , tried repasting the code several times..

[img=http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/3406/1pp6.th.jpg]

happens everytime on trackchange and when foobar is not playing, any idea ?

Cany anyone for this ally make a tuturial video, because i have understand nothing i sit at this maybe 4 hours and try but it come nothing
it would be nice...

Hello,

Add me to the list of people that love this display but have it "frozen in time" (i.e. not refreshing). If I adjust volume everything updates to that moment but freezes again in time. I'm using 1.8.1.

(In the meantime I'm going to look for an old version of track info mod.)

Thanks.

The reason why it is "frozen" is because the code hasn't been updated to use the "PerSecond" and "PerTrack" options in the newest track_info_mod panel. Russell mentioned this previously (see post 433)

Has anyone tried simply adding the line:

To the top of the code?

Oh I know. That's why i said I was looking for an old Track Info Mod - which I have found. V1.8 VIP is now working great. I will look forward to the updated code when it comes out.

Here is something interesting (or rather that I don't understand). I rip whole CD flac files. The original code in 1.8.1 for the Home Stereo Display is showing a file as 432.3 MB. In Windows XP Explorer, the folder it is in also reads at 432 MB total as does the actual file in Icon view. But when I go to Detail view in the folder it then says 442,992 KB. Which is right in Explorer? That would answer the question as to whether the Home Stereo display is correct.

1MB=2^10 KB (1024KB)
442992KB/1024=432.6MB
Just take the filesize provided by foobar (in bytes) and divide it by 1024 to get the size in KB's and then by additional 1024 to get it in MB's and tell me if i'm wrong.

Thanks for explaining. So there is no problem with your display which was what I was trying to figure out - a previous post suggested that the FLAC files were not accurately reported but they are. (I'm not a programer; did you figure that out? I did however get your display working very nicely.)

Actually, the size for FLAC files were not showing correctly, if they are larger than 10MB. The code that originally comes with the HSD doesn't look for the proper numbers, so what I was seeing was the same number being repeated on each side of the decimal. The code I posted will not change how the size is calculated, but it actually looks for the proper numbers, if the resulting filesize is over 10MB.

Fair enough. It's probably a difference in version. Version 1.8.1 VIP does seem to be displaying correctly.

Actually, I just tried it, and it doesn't. The size is displayed as "xy_z", where the "_" is the decimal. With the old code, when the fileszie is 10 MB or more, the "xy" is correct in front of the decimal, however the "z" ends up being the same number as the "y". If you have the file_info component, you can see the correct size in MB displayed after the "File size" which is listed in Bytes.

I changed the code to pull out the correct numbers that should be to the right of the decimal when the filesize is 10 MB or more.

Okay, you are absolutley right. A Cowboy Junkies FLAC image is reading at 280.8MB but File Info shows 280.31MB. Unfortunately with my limited skills I can't get your change to work. I am trying to replace:

(That is later sourced with a "$get(active)MB" string.) Every attempt so far has shut down my display. I'll keep tinkering...
