Xant and HeavyMetal

[northern_munki]

Hi all,

Can someone help me with setting up CD auto play. I've read and followed the XAnt plugin instructions.

http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2792&highlight=

This does work and I get the Track Name in the now playing but i dont get the album cover.

I've had a look at the XML and looks like I need to use commands like setdatabase=oncdaudio.xml or something. It works OK in the matv skin but I want it to work in HeavyMetal.

Help appreciated.

I'm at office right now ( without xlobby ) so I will keep an eye on heavymetal skin, to see what you have to do.
just, tell me where do you want to display the cover (which screen ?)

one thing to know, when you insert a cdaudio, the plugin build a temporary database (oncdaudio.xml), so what you have to do is: use an event "set database" to replace the database displaying on the category that you want.
example, I think heavymetal use a category named "music" to display information about your music.xml database.
what we want is that the category display the oncdaudio.xml database instead of music.xml. to do that you need this event "set database" and an other event "refresh" to refresh your category after you changed the database to displayed.

one thing is strange, if you can display tracks of your cd you should be able to display the cover as well... are your sure that the plugin did download the cover ? do you have it ?

try with that:
download this eventgroups (autoplay.xml) from here : http://france.xlobby.com/forum/dgemily/temp/autoplay.zip
then replace autoplay.xml in xlobby\skins\HeavyMetal\eventgroups\

then launch xlobby and go to the event manager to modify the letter of your driver :
