Where is the list of variables..

[rossp]

Is there a complete list of the variables i.e {MP.TrackPosition}
anywhere. This new feedback system looks awesome.

One last question, how can I get netremote to go to the list of tracks when I click on the cover art for the album.

Ross.

Ross - the list is coming soon. Sorry for the wait. For now, the demo .ccf uses all of the MP. variables.

In terms of showing the list of tracks, you could have it jump to the media library, but there is no way currently to just show the tracks for the album. Maybe after 1.0 comes out I'll look into features like this.

Thanks!

rossp,

I updated the guide as best I could, but I haven't delved into all of the various codes yet. Check it out here:

Ben,

Are you updating the way the codes work for MC control? As you can see from the guide, there are 3 different ways that you have to enter codes. I don't want to document all of these different ways if you are in the process of standardizing it.

Hi Zak.

It's a little weird right now, you're right.

There are buttons that use MC specific buttons (-10, etc.) and things that are set to watch certain variables and fire into MC when those variable changes.

All -feedback- should now be done in the more generic model ({MP.Volume}), etc. I'd like to move more towards the internal variable type of call, but it just doesn't make sense for play, pause, stop, etc. to be variable based, so those will always be special types.

I hope that helps! Ack!

Hi,

I would like to retrieve the Notes field from Media Center.

I tried using {MP.Notes} but it would not work like {MP.Comment}

Is {MP.Notes} a valid code?

Thanks,

Also, can a frame wrap the text it contains.

For example I want to use the Notes or Comment fields from Media Center to contain a short paragraph about the Album or Artist.

Hi Cocophone -

Notes are not currently in there, but thanks for the heads up. I will add it to the list that is passed to NetRemote for RC7. Are there any other fields you're looking to get?

Unfortunately right now there is no way to wrap the text, but I have a way I can fake it until Stewart adds the option to Tonto. Its something others have been looking for, too. Let me take a look.

Thanks Cocophone!

I've just added the ability to wrap text. It's another use for the ID field. If the ID field of a button is WORDWRAP, it will wrap the text in the size of the button.

Used in conjunction with {MP.Comment}, it works great, and will work even better for Gavin's Luadvdjb stuff!

Adding Notes would be great, thanks.

I just guessing but, lyrics might be another field to add too.

It might be a cool thing to check out the lyrics of the current song.


thanks,

Another field that I would find useful for feedback is the currently playing playlist (i.e. {MP.CurrentPlaylist}) I have tried this but it doesn't work - not sure if it is there or not.

Thanks
