Must be having a senior moment...

Postby Bill Lott on Sun Sep 30, 2007 2:06 pm

I use xLobby to listen to XM radio and display the "now playing" information on my main menu screen. How do I "erase" the now playing info after I quit listening to XM radio? I'm sure its pretty simple, but....

Thanks

Hi Bill,

You can try the music->clear playlist event - this should do the job!

Thanks for the reply. That works to clear the music "Now Playing" info, but I'm getting XM radio tdata thru another source. It is not asscoiated with the internal media player.

How do you create an event that will remove old text from a screen?

I have two fields that I want to remove the text from when I stop playing XM radio

Yes. I'm getting the data from the Homeseer plugin.

Lets say the variable name is HS_SensorStatus and it appears on the Menu page
Create a button and associate it to an event where you set the variable value to " " followed by a goto Menu command to redraw and refresh the page.
That should work I think.

Thanks.

I told you it was a senior moment. It was actually an easy fix for the other side (Homeseer). When I turned the radio off I just setup a script that sets the values to " " .

Thanks again for the help.
