LCD Smartie

Here is my first version of a (in my eyes) better itunes plugin.

It implements (almost) all the features as the standard Winamp plugin.

Get commands out of this plugin I have choosen to assign the same values as in the Winamp plugin i.e. if you want the 'Time (seconds)' you would have entered: but with this you enter: i.e. you replace $Winamp with: $dll(itunes2,1,


There is still some bugs but I'm going to fix them..



The plugin requires .NET framework 1.1 and can be found here: http://erlis.se/lcdsmartie/itunes2.zip

Thank you very very much for your work...

It works quite good for me

Some bugs, I think you already know:

- There is no space between artist and Song, I mean, there is a "-" between song and artist (...Rock You - Queen...) but when it all rolls it shows like: (...You - QueenWe Will). You know what I mean?

And then, could you implement to display international characters, as if I introduce the following text in the screen settings: "???????" is correctly displayed in the VFD, but it seems the plugin can't read those characters from iTunes...

Thank you very much, indeed!!!!

Thanx fpr the feedback!

1, You can easly change the apperence for this, just add an SPACE after $dll(itunes2,2,Title,1) . How ever there is one MAJOR bug, the writong shuld be Artist - Title. I have updated the plugin.

2. I'm not sure where the problem with local caracters, here in sweden we use ???, I will test this tomorrow, but I think the problem lies at the VFD/LCD.

Ok... Thank you... How silly I am

As I said, I don't think it's the VFD, as the message is shown correctly when directly typed in the message box.

Thank you for your rapid answer!

fyi - Getting a corrupted file whenever I download the itunes plugin.

Hi!

WOuld like to try this out, but neither link works for me. Normal link is corrupt, second link is not valid. WOuld really appreciate it if you could post this code.

THanks!

The first link works for me. Try again or give me your email and I will send it to you

Thanks!

Tried again, still can not unzip package at link using WinZip 10. Tool does not like the checksums.

Email is maurora@uwalumni.com.

Suspect problem might be zip tool. What are you using?

Anyway, appreciate the help. Really looing forward to trying this out.

I'm terrible sorry for any in problems this may have caused you. The link shuld be vorking again!

edit: Nevermind. I'll try the link again.

edit2: Link works, Thanks!

Thanks!

FYI...

The alternate link in this post now works. The zip package linked off the LCD smartie page is still not correct.

Really looking forward to trying this out.

Thanks again.

Not sure if anyone could post the itunes2.zip file again. Perhaps unzipped. I get the same sort of CRC errors or corruption problems using Windows integrated Zip program, 7-Zip, and WinZip. They all have issues. And the second link erlis provided is no longer valid. Thanks!

Oh, I didn't know that this project were still running..

Have attached the file.

is EVERY winamp function copied over?

Hello

How do I detect if Itunes is running?

I'd like to automatically jump to my iTunes LCD screen when playing a song in Itunes.

Thanks

Me too ...

Search for appstate plugin

Is there any manual on this plugin? I get errors like: cannot load plugin. Can anybody post a config file to see some examples?
