hmm, can't be from Smartie, nothing is changed regarding plugin calls. If it happens in tricolor, should happen in official release too.

Please, if you have time, test it a few times with official release too.

okay, I will.

Also something weird i stumbled upon, when i was on the official release, the winamp equaliser was very slow, even with refresh interval on 5...
on tricolor, with the winamp.dll provided in the aechive its now super fast :)

dont know why it doesnt work fast in the stable release :(

i think?something borked, while unpacking or if i screwed it i dont know.

im starting a fresh folder or tricolor smartie now though :)

i aslo stumbled upon a problem when trying to mix plugins, what i tried doing was

$dll(holdnscroll.dll,1,,$dll(winamp,1,1x8,u#99#Wfl#80#200),12/$dll(splittitle,1,$WinampTitle,0))

and i get wonderful garbage :)

i want it display the graph at the first 8 chars, then the next 12 it will scroll the artist.

There are two values you want to modify:
1. on the left misc panel there is a dll check interval and
2. on the main program settings panel there is refresh interval

Both have to be adjusted ;)


Small winamp spectrums are better left alone, don't pass them through other dll's, they take more communcation bandwidth as all 8 custom chars are updated many times per second. Let the spectrum out of the function and scroll only the title.

ok thanks, winamp graphs are smooth in both tricolor and stable now :lol:

but about the holdnscroll plugin, it ssupposed to hold the winamp graph still, while scrolling the artist on the same row...

anyway, back to the nero plugin thing, it appears to be random...

after a nights rest and a fresh start of pc/lcdsmartie/nero and no more issues,

these lines work perfectly!
Nero Burning $dll(getnum,1,$dll(mem,1,0,0),)%
$Bar($dll(getnum,1,$dll(mem,1,0,0),),100,20)

wait, bah, problem happened again for a while at 80% burn...
random indeed.

though the plugin was still buggy, the author said so himself, he did release the source thoug, if im lucky someone might be able to fix it.
