a few questions for sub

[dottore]

hi there,

since i did this cdplayer-thing which doesn't use gbpvr to play the files (it uses mci, since this is the only way to play audio-cd's with datatracks) i have a few problems:

- i cannot use stop/pause/play on the main menu since those keystrokes are processed by gbpvr.
-> question: how can i react on main-menu-keystrokes? maybe via panel?

- how about visualisations: do they work, even if it's not gbpvr playing the files?

another option would be to integrate the cdplayer-functions (mci-playback and so on) into the gbpvr-core, so the normal music-functions could be used

thanks!

even though im not sub, the source code for bleepbloop is available on the wiki, look at that and see how kingargyle did it, you can use the same code, and just check if cdplayer is playing a cd track and then react.

you're right! i forgot about that...

This wont work with MVP, or those using direct access to the Hauppauge remote. I suspect it may not also work for MCE remote users.

Sorry, this would only work if GB-PVR was playing it.

ok. revens suggestion did the trick. i can pause/play/stop playback in the main-menu.

i'm not sure, there are some comments in the bleepblop-code mentioning direct access to hauppauge remote...who knows?

and since the plugin won't work on mvp, this is no problem. for mce-users it could be difficult though....

ok, so the visualisations are out. thanks all!

I played some music the other night....when or how to they come on? The visualizations I mean. Is screensaver supposed to be on or off, or is it only for some music plugins?
