@songName

[mvallevand]

I'm sure this is really basic for many of you but I'm a bit new at this how do I change the @songName in the screen saver to something that I control?

I was able to answer my own question, it looks like it is

PluginHelperFactory.getPluginHelper().SetAudioDescription(string);

Sub, is there are a way that ACTCMS can extract the value that you call @songName in your screensaver and @nowPlaying in the Now Playing panel for MLPanel?

I just checked, and unfortunately no.

They can get notified of the currently playing audio file using the IEventNotification interfaces, but this is unfortunately the filename, not the description set by IPluginHelper.SetAudioDescription().

If you want, I can add a new event for this for the next release though? Its only a two minute change.

For Web Radio, I can see the 'CurrentAudioTrack' and 'CurrentAudioPath' events (showing the filename) when running on the NMT, but I don't see them when running on the PC.

The behaviour of Net Radio, where I get 'CurrentAudioTrack' and 'CurrentAudioPath' events (showing the filename) plus 'playing now' info via 'CurrentAudioTrack' events (on both the NMT and the PC) is much better.

Would there be a lot more involved in allowing plugins to issue their own Notify events?

All I was intending to do was add a new event type, which fire when IPluginHelper.SetAudioDescription() is called.

That's expected, on the PC, I am not using GB-PVR as an audio player, I am just setting the description.

I suppose if you created saved your singleton to a file, I could read it and notify MLPanel of events.

Edit: sub your solution sounds good enough for what we want to achieve.

No problem...
