JukeBox Plugin

Quote[/b] (colin @ Sep. 16 2004,21:08)]I'm looking into adding a screen saver of sorts for this plugin, unless someone has done it or is doing it?

Colin.

Colin,

if you add screensaver functionality to the plugin how can we all reconcile the various changes to the plugin

is there diff & patch like utilities ??

is the original author still about should we send all our changes to him to be amalgamated into his code ?

any thoughts

Well there are several ways this can work:

1. Patches are sent to the author of the plugin to integrate
2. We look to use something like sourceforge to maintain open src'ed plugins
3. You fork off your own version of the plugin.
4. We organise amongst ourselves who applies their changes first.

cvs is still the most widely used src control application and as part of that it has utilties for creating diffs and applying patches.

Cheers,
Colin.

Thanks tkgafs,

I will try this code out on my MVPs ASAP.

Good work tkgafs!

If you dont mind I will use that code in my upcoming Album Player plug-in, maybe with different keys though since I have thought of other functions for the color keys

Open source plugins is good, but I actually like the fact that GB-PVR is not open source...

I contacted Bryan (who has done the Jukebox plugin) and asked him for permission to use his code before I started to develop my plugin (and also got it, thanx as lot). Maybe you should contact him also tkgafs, and ask if he is interested in putting your code in his next version of the plugin?

Maybe as the number of developers grow, we can maintain a site and open source community for "standard plugins" to GB-PVR. But for now I think that what we got is more than enough.

Hi tkgafs,

What do you mean by ,

encase the large switch block with the following code

joe

in Bryans original code there is a section


switch (e.KeyCode)
{
then lots of case Keys.xxx statements

which will eventually end as follows

default:
handled = false;
break;
}


what you need to do is take my new code and add it before the switch statement

as follows

}
else
{
switch (e.KeyCode)
{
then all the case stuff down to
default:
handled = false;
break;
}
then add a closing
}

to match the one from the else above

if your still not to sure PM me your email address and I'll send you an edited copy of the code

I had already emailed Bryan asking what he wanted to do with my little bits of code but as of yet he hasn't replied

I have one tiny little change more I want to do to the plugin which is to add a default image if the folder doesn't contain a folder.jpg file

its only a couple of lines so I'll do it later tonight

Tkgafs

no problem

Tkgafs,

I sent you a PM hope you received it ok.

Tkgafs,

I have found where to place the 2nd code list, but when I run the compile program ,I am not getting the jukebox.dll file being created. The GBPVRPublic.dll is in the SharpDev dir but not Jukebox.dll. I followed Colins instructions but still no joy.What am I doing wrong?

The Project Options are set to (Debug) (Library) output is C:\My Doc\SharpDEv\Jukebox and the same for Release.

Reference goes to the GBPVRPublic.dll in the C:\programs\denz\GBPVR\Plugins

The program RUNs ok in the SharpDEv

Regards
Joe

Joe,

Sorry I only know what colin has explained about sharp develop so I dont know what you problem would be.

I got your PM but was hanging off sending the code until I had added another little bit of functionality, which is turning out to be much harder than I thought
