XMpc plugin

[badubo]

No configuration is needed

Simply use it in your skin

You can access several information from the running MPC instance like :

plugin>XMpc>Title
plugin>XMpc>File
plugin>XMpc>Pos
plugin>XMpc>Remain
plugin>XMpc>Total
plugin>XMpc>Full

and a progress bar :
plugin>XMpc>Progress

I am sorry badubo, but I still don't get it.

Could you post steps where to go and what to do?

Should I go to setup or skin editor?

Sorry again.

[badubo]

skin editor...

There are no config, nor methods, nothing except to add the requested variables to your screen

Hi badubo,

I am trying to figure out how to set p XMpc plugin for three days now, but I can't.
Could you post detailed instructions how to do that?

Something like that:

1. Hit F2 to go to Setup.
2. Click Event Manager tab.
3. ...
4. ...

thank you.

plugin>XMpc>Title
plugin>XMpc>File
plugin>XMpc>Pos
plugin>XMpc>Remain
plugin>XMpc>Total

great help for skinning

You may recalled I did a lot of work skinning and testing with Xmovewindow about a year or so ago... I am a huge fan of your work.

I have another post here about using ZP focus issues but you seemed to have nailed in MPC what I was after all along - progress bar and stats from the player skinnable.

I am still having focus issues with XmoveWindow but plan on taking my efforts to MPC due to your efforts and work here.

Any tips are appreciated but I am in deep into this one - thanks again!!!

Badubo -

Is there a flag to run MPC borderless so nothing is around it like ZP...

Also I saw some talk of the Xmedia Skin which is so nice being english translated but that link is dead - would love to try it in english. I'd also like to see if any of this Plugin is present in a skin to sample against..

Thx for the work

you should have not border if you use mpc+xmovewindow

[Stimpson J. Cat]

If you don't use xmovewindow, you can disable all of the border stuff in mpc from within the view menu of mpc.

You can also configure it to remember its resolution and screen position. Just make sure you turn off the autoscaling option.

Hi Badubo,

I use LCDSmartie for my HTPC and have up until now been unable to find a
plugin for MPC.

I see that there are 2 dlls in the zip for this plugin.
Am I right in assuming that you use XMpc.dll as a interface
to Xlobby for mpcinfo.dll ?

If so, what kind of info can be accessed from mpcinfo.dll
and do you know the function/procedure signatures of the mpcinfo.dll ?

I ask because I'd like to write a wrapper dll for this dll using Delphi
for LCDSmartie so that I can display MPC info on my IRTrans VFD
during movie playback.

TIA.

[badubo]

If I remember, there is a very little txt in the source code of MPC on sourceforge.

Anyway, I put the main cs file of XMpc

http://france.xlobby.com/forum/badubo/XMpc.cs
It is where I import all functions of MPCinfo and use them (look "dllimport").

If you know C#, you can easily create a plugin for LCDSmartie with these imports

Hope it will be helpfull for you

[qong]

Badubo, thanx very much.

I'll try 2 write the dll for LCDSmartie access to Media Player Classic with this info.

If anyone's interested, I'll put a post here when I've shared it with the guys
at LCD Smartie.
