Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SB3: TitleSwitcher + MusicInfoScreen example usage

2009-08-07 Thread MrC

The %% was my patch to the code to allow me to use double quotes, and to
place text -after- the given string (i.e. the trailing double quote).

So, for example, the %% in this:


Code:


  "%%"ARTIST
  


is replaced by what follows, which is ARTIST, yielding:

Code:


  "ARTIST"
  


including the double quotes.  You can just configure your configuration
string as:

Code:


  TRACKNUM. TITLE:5,ARTIST:3,"from "ALBUM:3
  



If it works as I specified, then Erland might have made some updates
that I'm unaware of.

great idea!

i tried it on my system and it works well. my only question, why the
"%%" between the settings? I excluded those and it still works well.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] SB3: TitleSwitcher + MusicInfoScreen example usage

2009-08-05 Thread MrC

I wanted to share an example usage of what can be done with the very
useful TitleSwitcher + MusicInfoScreen extensions on an SB3.

I wanted to be able to see, in the large font, single-line display, a
song's track information, but also always have the clock and track
remaining playtime info available too.  Since I don't have a
transporter, I improvised and created a poor man's version of a split
screen.

On the left side of the split display, the scrolling Title shows for 5
seconds, then Artist for 3 seconds, and finally Album for 3 seconds. 
I've also increased the speed of the scrolling so that all the info
flows by quickly.

On the right side of the screen, the Clock and Playtime alternate every
5 seconds.

Below are some screen shots, and here is a 'MOVIE (wmv: 1.7M)'
(http://www.mikecappella.com/slimtools/SB3_TS+MIS.wmv) showing the
action (speed probably inaccurate due to the various conversions
required).

The main settings are SB3 font set to Full and my TitleSwitcher
formatting (note: I'm using a patched version of TS to allow double
quotes): 

Code:


  CURRTIMEPROGBAR  => "| "CURRTIME:5,"| "PLAYTIME:5
  TRACKALBUMARTIST => TRACKNUM. TITLE:5,"%%"ARTIST:3,"from \"%%\""ALBUM:3
  



and finally the MusicInfoScreen settings:

Code:


  Single line (large font)
  TITLESWITCHERTRACKALBUMARTIST   TITLESWITCHERCURRTIMEPROGBAR
  



So, Thanks to Michael, Erland, and the SB team for making such fun
toys.
