[SOLVED] Some Problems with a Streamskin

BlueWriter · Post by **BlueWriter** » July 17th, 2012, 5:39 pm

Hi there

I've some problems with a skin: the basic is a part of the 'Animus White-Room' -Skinpack. Then I've added some points from the 'Radio Now' -Skin - thats what I've done:

Code: Select all

And it looks: http://www.imagebanana.com/view/5ev59uoq/_20120717_165931.jpg

Now my problem:
When I click on a stream, then starts VLC and plays it. Now I want that if I click on the stream again, VLC stops playing the stream...
With the help of Kaelri in the IRC Rainmeter Chat I rewrite the script (I show only the edited Technoloverspart):

Code: Select all

H=20
StringCase=UPPER
FontSize=13

But this solution doesn't works! Has anyone a better solution?

PS: When a stream is enabled (that means, that I can hear it), the font should be cursive so I can see what is enabled. Thus, when I've enabled the Technoloversstream and i click on the e.g. Hardloversstream the font on the Technoloversstream should be normal and the font from the Hardloversstream should be cursive!

Here is a downloadlink for a .zip archive of my hole skinpack: http://www14.zippyshare.com/v/71298302/file.html

Ok, now that I've seen the whole skin, I was able to fix the problems. There was no single cause, it was just an extremely poorly-written skin. Lots of mistakes by the original author: typos, missing measures, and bad methodology. (The other skins in the suite are probably similarly troubled, but I don't have time to rewrite the whole package.)

As for your request: to make the commands easier, I created styles for each state that one of the buttons can be in (stopped/started, and mouseover/mouseout). I also combined the background and text into one meter to make it simpler.

One thing you need to know is that the name of the .PLS file is now determined by the name of the button. For example, [Technolovers] will launch VLC with "Technolovers.pls", [PulsTrance] will be "PulsTrance.pls", etc.

many many thanks that you help me!!!

)))
but now, if i click on the skin, nothing happens :/

Post by **Kaelri** » July 20th, 2012, 1:01 pm

What exactly does not happen? Do the buttons not change appearance properly, or does the music not play? I didn't change anything about how the skin talks to VLC, so however that worked (or didn't work) in the original skin should still be the same.

BlueWriter · Post by **BlueWriter** » July 20th, 2012, 7:26 pm

Normally, if I click on the skin, it should show the various radio stations. But if I click on the skin now, nothing happens!

Post by **Kaelri** » July 20th, 2012, 7:36 pm

I can't explain that. I used the skin files you gave me, and the only changes I made were the ones in my post above. Everything is working fine.

Are you using the most recent version of Rainmeter? Make you're you're using 2.3.3 - you can download a fresh copy here.

BlueWriter · Post by **BlueWriter** » July 21st, 2012, 9:12 am

Yes this was the problem - I had Rainmeter 2.1.0! Okay now it works! There is only one thing, which doesn't works: the SecondClickAction: you remeber, if I click on e.g. 'Technolovers' twice, the stream should stop! Until now only the font goes normally, but the stream continues...

Post by **Kaelri** » July 21st, 2012, 2:43 pm

Did you install the libcad plugin that we gave you in the chat?

BlueWriter · Post by **BlueWriter** » July 21st, 2012, 4:45 pm

Yes this was the second problem! First, I tried version 1.0.2 of the libcad plugin, which doesn't works. But version 1.0.1 works! Many many thanks to you, that you have taked your time for me
