Help with pausing/stopping a GIF

[Meridian]

Hi,

Can someone please help me with pausing/stopping a gif animation. Basically I want a GIF to play while music/sound is playing and when the music or sound stops the animation must pause/stop. I have no clue how to code or how to use LUA scripting, I did try researching on google and played around with the script but can't seem to get anything right.

I'm using Muziko skin and I looked to see how the seek bar was used because it moves while music is playing and stops when the music stops, but I don't understand how to use or adapt it for the gif animation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

A very simple solution I found is using the new AudioLevel AudioLevel plugin:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=100
DynamicWindowSize=1

[MeasureRMSRaw]
; This measure returns the level of the main audio output.
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=AudioLevel
Port=Output
Type=RMS

[measureRMS]
Measure=Calc
Formula=( 100 * MeasureRMSRaw )
IfCondition=(measureRMS>=1)
IfTrueAction=!UnpauseMeasure MeasureAnimation
IfFalseAction=!PauseMeasure MeasureAnimation

[MeasureAnimation]
Measure=CALC
Formula=(( MeasureAnimation + 1 ) % 13 )

[MeterAnimation]
Meter=BITMAP
MeasureName=MeasureAnimation
BitmapImage=Girl.png
BitmapFrames=13
BitmapExtend=1

and also find the Girl.png in the attachment. Obviously, if you are using another bitmap, you'll have to modify a bit the MeterAnimation section, to work well.
