OSD PopUp with Girder3.1 beta 9 and Girder 3.0.25 and...

[Ron]

1. The OSD popup plugin is not yet updated for Girder 3.1, thus it still uses the old settings of Girder 3.0. This will change as soon as Girder 3.1 is released.

3. Question action is gone, I'm thinking up something better. The old implementation was horrible *shrug*

[Ron]

I said "I Am thinking Something Up", that means I am in the process of making something. So that means you wait.

Send data to your keyboard ? :???:

[Ron]

The payload is only available during the time that Girder processes an eventstring that contains the payload. So this might be the reason that it lost during the WM_PAINT

I uploaded that a few days ago. I checked my email and the last update I got from Mark was on the 12th. That is the one that is uploaded with version number 3.0. Its marked pretty cleary in the download section.

[Ron]

Ah Hang on,.. I found something.

Mark Sent from a different email address. Uploading in a few minutes.

[Ron]

Okay Popup OSD is uploaded, version 3.0.1

[Mark F]

OSD PopUp has been updated for 3.1. Version 3.0 is available on the download page. I'll be out the rest of this week so I won't be able to fix bugs until next week.

The new source is on the developer's page.

Enjoy. :smile:

[Mark F]

Yes, that is the problem. I had a couple of minutes before my flight this morning so Ron has an updated OSD PopUp. :smile:

[Mark F]

I'm back. Sorry for the confusion. I only have 5 E-Mail addresses. :smile:

There is a problem with OSD PopUp and payloads. I think that the source is that register expansion is done every time there is a paint message. The symptom is this: when the text expands a payload for the associated event (e.g., [pld1] for any of the new DVDSpy events), the OSD displays the correct text very briefly and then displays the empty string.

Ron, is the download section updated with this new version?
If yes please change the s.th. on the page so everybody will know that there is a new version.

[mitko]

I see
Obviously Mark didn't send you the last version of which he is talking in his post from 14.03.2002. So we will have to wait for him to return

2. That's real easy to do. All you have to do is make sure that the Winamp plugin (gen_DVDSpy.dll) is properly installed and working. Then, every time the current title in Winamp changes, the DVDSpy plugin puts the new title in Girder text register 6 - [treg6]. Furthermore, by using the event string Winamp.Title.6, you can make Girder display the current winamp title every time it changes.

Notice that if you've just changed the current track title (IE, you want Girder to display the song title right after you've chosen the NextTrack or PrevTrack), you may have to use a timer to give DVDSpy and Winamp a little time to update this data.

1.If you have latest OSD PopUp with both Girder 3.1 beta 9 and Girder 3.0.25 on the same PC, you can have SimpleOSD (of Girder 3.1 beta 9) and OSD popUp display different font. Your OSD font setting in Girder 3.1 is use bye SimpleOSD and the OSD font setting in Girder 3.0.25 is use by OSD popup. Maybe it's a bug of Girder 3.1 beta9?
2. I want to use DVDSpy to display Winamp song title on my screen (not on LCD) but I dont know how to do that. Anyone can help me out?
3.Hey Ron, where's the Question command gone in Girder 3.1 beta 9?
That's all for now...

[Huy Thach]

Thank for answer. But if I want Girder 3.1 to confirm before restart my PC, what can I do?

[Huy Thach]

Another Question, how can I send data to my keyboard?

[Huy Thach]

I dont mean send data to keyboard using Girder. I want to know how to do that by using a programming language (Sorry for ask, but I dont know where to ask that question).
In detail, my keyboard have some extra button. The problem is these button only active when the keyboard receive the sequence e0 11 (or another, I forgot). I dont know how to do.

[Huy Thach]

Hey Ron, I want to translate Girder in to mu language (Vietnamese) but the problem is it can only be done using Unicode, and Girder dont support Unicode. So I dont know how to do. Can you make Girder 3.1 support Unicode (because my language have some extra sign)

[Huy Thach]

Thanks for your help. I find out how to do that right after post the message. But I remember DVDSpy put WinampTitle in Text Register 7, not 6.
I know a better way to show display song title when I change file, not use timer. You can insert a command that have event string is Winamp.Title.7 and everytime winamp change song, it will display the new title.
Another question: how to cancel Alarm Timer event (Girder 3.1) when it has started?
