Master volume up or down in stead of winamp

Master volume is great!, but is there anyway we can apply an image or percent display to it. Like the volume bar for winamp. I would like a textbox that has either text mastervolume>%percent% or ID mastervolume>%percent%. In additon I would like a graphic height or width to be equal to the percentage of mastervolume specified.

bumping this so I dont forget, its not hard to do but I'm going to sleep.

Steve i just have a problem : it works but when i'm voluming down, the last step does power up the volume to max again any suggestions?

Hi

I am starting to think about using line in on my soundcards. I need to use the master volume to control this. Has anyone made any progress on a visual display for the master volume?

Thanks

I agree with Colby, a nice graphical or numerical (or both) representation of the master volume level is a must. It would also be a great work around for the limitations of Zoom Players volume control.

doesnt work at all with me. anything i do (percentage, up, down, whatever) it just mutes it. well, it turns the volume all the way down, not mute. and nothing will move it again, i need to manually move it back up.

im using analog out on an m-audio delta 410.

cowanrg,

There still isn't any graphical or percentage representation of the master/system volume built into Xlobby.

The fact that your volume mutes and doesn't come back up may indicate that the skin's button event may not be configured the way you want. Not knowing how much you know about skinning follow these steps:

Goto the screen that has the volume control in question.

Press the Pause/Break key, this should open the skin editor. If the skin editor does not open, then you are in an overlay. You must navigate back to a normal screen the enter the skin editor and then navigate to the screen in question via the Skin editor "Goto" tab.

Select the button in question the click on the Event tab in the skin editor. Goin on memory, under where is says Click Event it should indicate the name of the event attempting to run everytime you click the button. Write down, or memorize the event.

Close the skin editor.

Press the "F2" key to bring up the Setup screen, the select Events. The events are strutured like a Windows directory structure. Find the event you wrote/memorized and view the command for that event.

The two commands that effect master volume are:

Code: Select all

master volume adjust

Where the adjust value can be changed in increments from -100 to 100.

The other command is:

Code: Select all

master volume set

Where the volume is adjusted between 0-100

Both commands fall under the OS command struture (found on the right side of the Setup/Event screen.

If your still hearing music after pressing the down volume button (and you only pressed it once), chances are the skinner used the second command and set the adjustment to 10 (or something low). Then they didn't set a button command to bring the volume back up.

You can view more Events, and their commands by reading this. Worth its weight in gold.

Hope this was helpful.

thanks, but im a few steps ahead of you.

my skin is pretty much custom, and ive done most of it. i cant get the events to work, directly from the events manager. ive tried testing them, and they dont work. the one under music player or whatever does work, but the master adjust doesnt.
