LCD Smartie

I searched a plugin for displaying current master volume only a few seconds after volume changed and didn't found ...
Specially under Vista or Windows 7.

So I just writted it.
I Only test on windows vista yet, but I Will test tonight on Windows 7 ...

Current volume level % :
$dll(Volume7.dll,1,,)

Exemple for bar :
$Bar($dll(Volume7.dll,1,,),100,20)

Current peak for main channel ( sound level at this moment )
$Bar($dll(Volume7.dll,2,,),100,20)

Current peak for main channel 0 ( left channel usually, 1 for the right, maybe 2 or more if 5.1 speakers ... )
$Bar($dll(Volume7.dll,2,0,),100,10)

and $dll(Volume7.dll,3,,) return 1 if volume changed so I just add an action to display volume screen 2sec when it changed ... Apparently it work.

Thanks, works great on 7 x64!

And undur windows 7 X86 ...
Hope it will help, I didn't found plugins who works on visto or seven ...

Thanks alot works great on vista x86

Thanks a lot for this great dll!
It seems work fine on Win7 x64

But it's possible to implement the custom refresh interval in milliseconds to make the bars more fluids?

PS: Some one know how to make the bars reverse? (If is possible) Just to adapt to mine script ( http://i44.tinypic.com/f44b4l.jpg )

Thank you!

Hum, yes ; i will search information about this feature and post an update ...

Can you try this version ?
It will refresh 3 times faster normally ...

Thanks again the bars are much more fluid now

Looks good. Is there a way to display mute?

Any news on this one ?
using the plugin with the tinybar works great, using it with the "if" plugin to display a big X if the volume is 0. I wanna be able to display the same if the volume is muted.
currently, the volume shows the level, whether it's muted or not.
thanks

Thank you so much, this works perfectly!

thank you!

work in WinXP?

Just wanted to say thank you for this, after i installed net framework 4 it worked perfectly, thanks again!

Another note of thanks on this. I could really use the 'mute' status though. If you're not planning to update it, would you consider releasing the source?

Sweet plugin


If you use it with the math plugin you can have it showing you the difference between left and right channel in %, i.e. which one is louder in % or whether they match (thus see whether the currenlty playing sound is out of balance and not worry about the setup of your speakers):

L $dll(math,1,-$dll(Volume7.dll,2,1,),$dll(Volume7.dll,2,0,))% >-< $dll(math,1,-$dll(Volume7.dll,2,0,),$dll(Volume7.dll,2,1,))% R

Unfortunately I don't know about any bar plugin that can visualize negative values.


I have one question if I may: How can I setup actions to show a screen just for 2 seconds and then go back to the screen which was previously on?
