Visualisations - API

[psycik]

Hi sub

are those visualisations you have in Music Library a Sub's music library special the the inset command, or can us poor fob's that re-write the music sections get access to it as well??

Oh, and I read somewhere it's supposed to come on with the default screen saver, again is that something triggered from your music library?

You should be able to show them in your plugin too.

In IMenuTask.Activate(), or when you start a song playing, just called IPluginHelper.ShowInsetAtLocation(rect).

Yes, it is shown when the default screensaver kicks in. Visualisations dont show on the MVP/XCard/PVR350 though.

I've tried all that. I get the box but it's just a black rectangle.

Even the screen saver one doesn't seem to start up. Just has the moving GBPVR logo.

Here's exactly what I'm calling: PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().ShowInsetAtLocation(visualisations);

Visualisations being a System.Drawing.Rectangle.

Music is playing at the time you call ShowInsetAtLocation()?

[psycik]

yeah....well ok I wasn't sure.

But I just changed how it was started so that I ask for visualisations on a menu options and still the blank screen.

[sub]

I dont know. Remind me to look at it again before v0.96. I'm not doing any more changes for v0.95, which means a break from development until after christmas.

No problems with me running windowed??

I might try it on my "real" machine and see if I get a better result. Even though it's blank, I stop the music and it disappears.

[psycik]

Fair call.

I did notice it didn't go on your music library as well so it must be something about this machine. I'm not running your .16 or whatever the latest is

[sub]

Can you confirm the following is set in your config.xml:

<UseWindowsMediaPlayerForAudio>true</UseWindowsMediaPlayerForAudio>

[psycik]

actually yes. Didn't expect it to be. Cos I remember doing that on my production box to make net radio go.
