Music Player Plug-in

[Jeff]

New release posted here .

* Added support for playlists in .m3u and .wpl format

* Play (or Control Y) of a directory now queues all the folders under the directory as well as all the files in directory itself

* Album art now looks for default.png, .gif, or .jpg if folder.png, .gif, or .jpg is not found

One thing I forgot to add. If you are upgrading over a previous version, you wil lneed to run the config application and app m3u|wpl to the list of music file types to have playlists show up in the music listed by the plug-in.

i hate doing plugs, but i made my videos work really welll with music videos, using the playlist feature. i always play music videos using gbpvr now, i have a few music videos playlists, and i just play them randomly, it works really well.

I need to try it again. Thanks.

Is it possible to save a playlist created by the Music Player Plug-In?
Thanks,
Nathan

Not yet. I will probably add it in a future release.

Hi Jeff,

i've just tried to skin your plugin and had some problems to change the screen resolution. Somewhere you seem to use a hardcoded resolution of 720x480. Can you change that in a way that i can use any resolution i want (maybe read the resolution from the size of the background image).

But another thing, the feature to read the skin files all the time and to redraw the screen acording to these new data is very impressiv. Skinning was never easier than this.

Hi Jeff,

i ran into two more problems using your MusicPlayer:

1. When i register MusicPlayer as standard music plugin and then start GBPVR and hit F4 without having started your plugin before there always appears an error. Here's what the log says about it.

Code:

09.09.2005 13:22:30.046    VERBOSE    [2]    getValue cached value: /settings/DefaultPluginMusic : Music Player
09.09.2005 13:22:30.046    ERROR    [2]    Error: msg=0x100 (WM_KEYDOWN) hwnd=0x11012e wparam=0x73 lparam=0x3e0001 result=0x0  :  System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WndProc(Message& m)
   at q.a(Message& A_0)

2. The second problem is when i start the jukebox with the "virtual" root as marked element there also is an error. Here again the part from the log.

Code:

09.09.2005 13:26:32.750    ERROR    [2]    Error: msg=0x100 (WM_KEYDOWN) hwnd=0x11012e wparam=0x47 lparam=0x220001 result=0x0  :  System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

And then i thought about, if it would be possible to also use the Play-Button for add to queue? I don't like the color buttons for doing that. Another idea would be to have an menu for the four functions in addition to the color buttons. How about that?
