Display Media info only when playing

Post by brianl »

Hello all

I seem to require some help in getting LCDSmartie setup.

What I would like it to do is display the media info only when Media Player is active (and not switch to the other screens). Currently, I have only screens 2 and 3 active. Screen 2 is Media Player info, screen 3 is just date and time. If I'm playing media, I'd like it to switch to screen 2 and stay there so long as media is playing, then switch to screen 3 when it is stopped. Here is what I have under actions, I've been trying different combinations to get it to do this, to no avail - what am I doing wrong?

$dll(wmpblog.dll,2,0,0)=0 then disablescreen(3)
$dll(wmpblog.dll,2,0,0)=1 then enablescreen(3)
$dll(wmpblog.dll,2,0,0)=1 then disablescreen(2)
$dll(wmpblog.dll,2,0,0)=0 then enablescreen(2)

However, it doesn't seem to be enabling/disabling the screens?

What am I doing wrong. I'm sure it's something obvious (to someone else)...

Thanks in advance,

Brian

OK, I seem to have figured it out.

I tried using the WMP plugin, and I seem to have it working as desired now. I don't think there's anything wrong with the other plugin, probably some screwy action I had in there.

Now, if Media Player is active, is disables screen 2 and enables screen 4. If not, it does vice versa, enables 2 and disables 4, works perfectly!

I'm sure I'll have more...

Thanks

Brian
