"OpenSource" Notifier

[iPlayTheSpoons]

I saw DJ Egg post somewhere that skinners werent taking adavntage of new feature like the notifier. What he, and many others, dont seem to realize is that was made for the skin and a new one would have to be created by any author who wished to have one. Until now :) Basically its a plug-and-play notifier (kinda like a maki cheat...but i dont want this to get lost in that monster thread), which can easily be thrown into any skin, and is easily customized, with the .m sourcefile. Its not perfect, but close, to the original in the Winamp Modern Skin.

Now, I had to disable the resizing per-songtitle feature becuase it got kinda buggy. If you can fix it, you can fix it, but its set to a pretty good standard width. Also, Fading of layouts seems broke in 5.02 (just check the Winamp Modern's notifier or the nullsoft easter egg), but assuming it starts working again with future releases (or use 5.00 or 5.01), the fading works fine. Instructions for use in the readme.txt.

*note: compiled with the 5.02 mc.exe and std.mi. Should work fine if recompiled with an earlier version, but if used out of the box, will not work on pre-5.02 versions of winamp.

Feel free to distribute this, but keep original credits where they belong :)

btw,
is the fading issue anything to do with this (http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168352),
or is it something else? aah! (http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?postid=1270215#post1270215)

[Mr Jones]

Grand stuff, I may have to build this into a few of my skins when I get a minute or two.

Excellent work :)

[Mr Jones]

Have you tried to recompile it with anything else other than mc.exe (5.02)?

I just tried and got the following error message, compiled with the mc.exe that was distributed with #488, just cut and pasted my session as it was easier than typing it all out by hand ;), I then changed back to 5.02 compiler and ran it again , which compiled fine.

In the interests of backwards compatability you might wanna have a look at what's causing it to borke.

Nothing was changed within the script, other than the path to std.mi as it differes on my system.

ah, shit...i think System.isMinimized() is a new command in maki...

sounds like for backwards compatability youll need to do without the "Only show when minimized" option. Simply delete it from notifier.xml and lines 143-148 of the .m file...unless i can think of a work around.

i also just noticed another problem with 5.02, and thats the selective meta-guessing (getting a lot of "Track -1"), which is easier to fix...

[carlosp]

Good thing Spoony. Just waited for this. THX :D

[Plague]

Been waiting for someone to realise that the notifier can be used in any skin and that it's basically nothing more than a script..

Good work.

-Plague

[carlosp]

hey jared, could it be that you forgot to add the dropdownlist to your script? every time i press on the dropdown list winamp crashes. dun know why.

[iPlayTheSpoons]

@plague: thank you very much :)

<groupdef id="customdropdownlist" xuitag="Wasabi:CustomDropDownList" embed_xui="dropdownlist.text">
<Wasabi:Dropdownlist id="dropdownlist" x="0" y="0" w="0" h="20" relatw="1" />
<script id="customdropdownlistscript" file="opensource_notifier/customdropdownlist.maki"></script>
</groupdef>
is part of notifier.xml...but this might cause a problem if you have your folder layour wierd...

but it shoudnt cause a problem, as i use the exact same code in classix10k and havnt gotten any reports

[Pimousse38]

hello,
i also just noticed another problem with 5.02, and thats the selective meta-guessing (getting a lot of "Track -1"), which is easier to fix...
in this section :
SetInfo()
{
String PLTot = integertostring(System.getPlaylistLength());
String PLCur = integertostring(System.getPlaylistIndex()+1);add +1 at System.getPlaylistIndex() and it work fine.
bye

[iPlayTheSpoons]

actually that was a different bug that i had fixed but had neglected to post (yet)...theres a couple things i want to add before uploading a new version

[Pimousse38]

hi,

I use your notifier on a version translated into French of MMD3 (with the authorization of Sven Kistner) and it goes very well.

MMD Trois v2 (http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pimousse38/skin_winamp/MMD_Trois-v2.wal)

bye

[rpeterclark]

Hey Spoons! I plan to use your sweet script in a project I am working on, is the last one you attached the most recent version you have, or perhaps you have a newer one itching to be shared? ;)

[iPlayTheSpoons]

actually yes, there are some small changes...ill upload it when i get to my computer

[iPlayTheSpoons]

here it is

//edit - i saw inthe d-reliction thread that someone suggested a notifier that slid in and out instead of fading becuase of that option that disables the fading. this would be easy to build, is anyone interested in it?

[Michgelsen]

You mean like a drawer that would slide out of the system tray? That would be real nice.

And, just this little thing. I downloaded your notifier, and I noticed that when I was using it, and it popped up, my skin looked "frozen" for about 1 or 2 seconds. The music kept going, but the vis and ticker were frozen. It's my own skin, and it's VERY simple, so it's not that my computer suddenly can't take it anymore. Is this normal?

BTW, I love this opensource notifier idea.

[iPlayTheSpoons]

ive havnt heard of this problem, nor has it been reported by users of my Classix10k skin, which uses the opensource noifier. it might be your computer or the skin over taxing the system, but since i cant duplicate the problem, i cant say for sure what it is

[leechbite]

hey Spoons, i think ill be using ur script too in my skin. ill do some modifications though. thanks!

[Mr Jones]

Spoons, just so you know, I'm planning on using OSN in the rebuild of Lounge, with appropriate modifications of course :)

I'll say it again, this is quite the most usefull freebie script I've seen in the longest time :up:

[matt_69]

i second that motion...great work there iplay.

-matt

ps. i shall be using ur script (with mods of course) in my new skin for the GUIO, shall give u many credits in the skin :p :D

[iPlayTheSpoons]

awesome to hear, guys! im glad this is proving to be so useful.

[Digitalhigh]

Hey spoons! Haven't been around for a while, so it's good to see you're still kickin' ass. I too will be forced to take advantage of this wonderful script. If frisbee's still around, I'd make sure to have him add it to his page of killer scripts. Tis beautiful work, nonetheless.

[SLoB]

great little addition iPlayTheSpoons :)

I have tinkered with the script a little to add a realtime change to configure the notifier to each corner of the screen (to make it even more usable :))

will just post the small changes here & include the dl link for the maki script, its still wip but this works ok so far.
you may need to adjust the xml co-ordinates to suit your prefs layout
addition to notifier.xml after the notification drop down list
<!-- Notifier position on screen - start -->
<Wasabi:CustomDropDownList id="notifierposition" items="1. Show Notifications Bottom Right;2. Show Notifications Bottom Left;3. Show Notifications top Right;4. Show Notifications top Left" defaultlistitem="1. Show Notifications Bottom Right" PrivateIntSection="Abducted_OpenNote" PrivateIntItem="NotifierPosition" x="6" y="90" h="20" w="240" />
<!-- Notifier position on screen - end -->

and copy the maki script link -http://www.slob.org.uk/wa5/opensource_notifier.m, just a few small changes but it gives the realtime changes to adjust the position of the notifier, with more work it could all be realtime instead of using the get & set private ints, it does still store the setting on wa exit

hope the changes come in handy ;)

[roth377]

Could this notifier create the ability to accomplish the subject of this thread:

http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=1358358

It's basically asking if it's possible to put album covers into the notification, taken from either a folder's folder.jpg/cover.jpg, or from the id3v2 tag itself.

If any of you would comment, it'd be greatly appreciated.

[Plague]

nope..
You'd have to make a component that enables that first.

Wow, quick response!

Too bad it wasn't the answer I was looking for ;)

Oh well, maybe in a future release...

Thanks Plague.

[iron2000]

I tried to use this notifier and it only works when I set it to show when minimized but it is slow.

When it is set to always show, when you click on a song to play Winamp will take 100% cpu and hang.

Anyone has any idea what caused the problem?

[iron2000]

OK looks like its working now.

I must have downloaded a wrong version.

Thanks for the notifier, Spoons.

[iPlayTheSpoons]

:) new cool new version on the way

[iron2000]

Spoons do you know why the text on the notifier don't show when the internal FreeType TTF redering is disabled?

I was hoping that the notifier will display Japanese text when I disable it just like a songticker with a TTF.

[iPlayTheSpoons]

i have no idea...it just uses Tahoma as the font, so if Tahoma doesnt support japanese that might be why...

i dont know much about fonts

[iPlayTheSpoons]

err, posted prematurely...almost ready

[iron2000]

Spoons there is a bug where the playlist track number is one less than the actual value.

It was something with the script.

[iPlayTheSpoons]

long ago fixed, wait for new version in the next day or two

[iPlayTheSpoons]

finally NEW version

features/stuff:

- some small bug fixes
- finally added dynamic resizing
- fading or sliding effects (selectable in prefrences)
- integrated album covers, thanks to rcp (selectable) yay

anyways...YAY, finally, etc.

[Mr Jones]

Nummy...

/goes to install...

[matt_69]

ok..the thing to change between sliding and normal doesn't want to let me change. could be like a layer thing over the top of it or sumthing.

-matt

[Mr Jones]

Looking good so far, a fair bit of tweaking later and I've got it integrated into boxOr.

Couple of typos in the files, and I've been yanked over these before, but.....

<Wasabi:Text id="label" x="0" y="0" text="Durrations:" />

is spelt
"Duration's" in my spell checker

And...
<container id="opensource_notifier_prefs" name="Notifier Prefrences" dynamic="0" default_visible="0" nomenu="0" nofocusapponclose="1">

is
"Preferences"

I'm sure you left those in there to catch us out right ;)

[rpeterclark]

Coool! :up:

[Plague]

boxOr getting an update?
SWEET!

[PulseDriver]

The box0r will not be released until the <snappoint> tag is supported again.

And that's said to be in the 5.04 update :)

And I can see why it's held back too, cause the snappoint is half the player..

[Mr Jones]

boxOr has been finished for the best part of two months now, just waiting for 5.04 to get out of the door first, for reasons as stated by pulsedriver.

In case you missed it elsewhere, it's had a bit of fix up to get it working, fixed some maki bugs that were present, added in some standard frames, EQ window, fixed a lot of other shit that didn't work properly on it, added a few new functions like the notifier, tuned up the script core, there is probably only about 20% of it that is original now and loads of other gunk, Francis very kindly fixed snappoints after I bugged him about it.

What it isn't, and what some people would like it to be, is an all singing all dancing new version, so things like CT's are not in there, didn't have access to the original psd's and it's pretty impossible to make up CT's without that kind of access, I could have done them with the images to hand, but it would have looked less than great, same went for lounge.


I've just finished tweaking up the other nullsoft related skins with the new notifier, Lounge and Assmosis are done, fixed a bug in Lounge's volume as well, they should be up by the end of the day.

[Plague]

box0r has always been a favourite of mine, it was one of the absolute first freeform skins and still is one of the coolest. If psd's were available, and/or updated with new stuffs, box0r could kick some serious ass.

Looking forward to see what you've done with it.

[Mr Jones]

I'll PM you a link when I get home, I've got the latest version stashed away on my flash drive in my pocket at the minute, FTP is cock blocked this afternoon for some reason.

I'd have loved to have to the PSD's, themeing it would certainly have been an option, but just too messy without them, no one could find them though, and it's original author fell off the planet some time back, at least non of my mails got answered, and by looking back over the forums for the last year or two, neither did anyone elses who wanted to try this project, I ended up cutting out the middle man and getting permission for the skins owner , Nullsoft :)

Still, the upside is, it does now work in 5, it is finally finished, with all the missing parts it never had and it is as you say still a kick ass skin.

I like to think of it as restoring an old work of art, rather than painting a new version of it, or some other such crap like that ;)

[PulseDriver]

Yes, box0r is a very nice skin, and sure...

it rox0rs your box0rz lol ;)

And it seems there are a lot of stuff coming with 5.04 besides snappoints.

I am looking forward to the snapadjust() function to be fixed haha...

[iron2000]

It is not resizing to fit the full song title here.
Tried installing it without changing any code but it still doesn't work.

[iPlayTheSpoons]

well its got a limiting length, so if its a really long title, i didnt want the thing going half way across the screen (especially in 600x800, where it almost can anyways)...if you mean the shorter ones get cut off a little, its true, i have to work on the math for that part to get it look best

[Wildrose-Wally]

are available here:
Nullsoft Skinz (http://www.fusionamp.com/Nullsoft_Skinz.htm) , although it looks like I'll have to upload the new versions. :p

[PulseDriver]

Um... it's there, but not available, the download button is replaced with "Not yet"

[Wildrose-Wally]

yeah. :D

[PulseDriver]

Jones said to me it was on hold for a reason, and it's as I stated, the snappoint is not supported yet...

So I don't think it's such a bad idea to put it on hold.. :)

[Wildrose-Wally]

The snappoints (and Box0r) work just fine on my version of Winamp. :p

[PulseDriver]

Yes, but not on WinAmp 5.03

[iPlayTheSpoons]

Small Update for bug fix

- Fixed the sliding and fading effects sorta getting mixed into each other (silly typo :rolleyes: )

[Mr Jones]

spoons, I'm right in thinking, because the notifier has a browser object on it, that it borkes DTA for the shadows right? I ran across a similar problem when trying to put a colour theme oject onto the main window of Assmosis a few weeks back.

Wouldn't this technically make the opacity slider redundant??

//also, what bits have changed?, is it something in notifier.xml, or something in the scripts?

Only reason I ask I've done a lot of mods to the XML and if it's the scripts that have changed, I don't wanna go to the effort of changing the XML for no reason again, and so on..:)

[iron2000]

I understand when it will resize, works ok.
It found some of the Japanese album covers too.
Thanks for the new version.

Anyway what is new in the latest version?
Is it just a spelling fix?

[PulseDriver]

For the CD Covers, the last improvement was this line:


strQuery = strQuery.replace(/[`~\!@#\$%\^&\*\(\)\-_\=\+\[\{\]\}\\\|;\:'\",<\.>\/\?]/gi, " ");


If you don't know javascript, this line is simply a line that removes all the specified characters from the string strQuery... and that way, it doesn't confuse the server at Amazon that much... as now it's sent is characters and numbers only :)

That might be the reason.. :)

[iron2000]

There seems to be a problem.

On my copy if I start the player with 'show album cover' on the title will appear lower.
It also happens when I refresh the skin while 'show album cover' is on.

But on turning 'show album cover' off, making the notifier appear then turning on 'show album cover' again the title will realign.

[iPlayTheSpoons]

@ Jones- ...i hadnt thought about that. i knew components broke dta, but didnt think browsers would (i keep my shadow off anyways, so i didnt notice a change). there is actually a way i can work around that, but i dont know if its worth it.
and the change was just in the opensource_notifier.maki/.m

@iron - the only change in that last one was a small fix to one of the scripts.
i have no idea why that would be happening to your title line...has anyone else seen this? ill look into it

@PulseDriver - no, it actually has nothin at all to do with what you mentioned. infact, i dont think anything was even asked about what was new in the CD covers, so couldnt it EXPLAIN anything


anyways...i was wondering it anyone had free time and was willing to overhaul the xml for the prefrences screen? right now it looks like junk and i hate doing that kind of stuff. just so long as you keep all of the same objects and same id's, you can add and re-arange all you like. thatd be well :)

[UUL]

if you don't mind, then i'll be willing to do a bit of xml reordering ;)

[iPlayTheSpoons]

thatd be great

[UUL]

k, i'll do it when i get back from school

*goes to school

To be honest, it probably isn't.

I hacked the shadow slider out of my copies anyhow so at least people won't be whining at me when it dosn't do anything for them :)

[UUL]

So, here it is! Moved all sliders etc. it's nicely aligned :D also resized the notifier itself (if you don't mind) the album cover has the same amount of pixels offset now :p and the text lines are a bit more aligned to each other, hope you like it

[iPlayTheSpoons]

no, UUL, thats not really what i had in mind. all you did was switch the positions of a few items, i couldve done that. i meant a real over haul, making the window actaully look nice and LESS cluttered. thanks for the effort, but ill just take care of it

[iPlayTheSpoons]

i was thinkin something more like this...whatdyall think?

[UUL]

my mistake :D

[carlosp]

very cool spoony.

[iron2000]

That looks great!

Is the shadow display spoilt?

[iron2000]

About my problem with the title alignment.
It seems to be solved by adding a height to the title text in the xml.

There also seems to be a problem in the display of track numbers. The "(Track )" still shows even when the track number field is blank. Solved it by using

if(system.getPlayItemMetaDataString("track") >= "0")

instead of

if(system.getPlayItemMetaDataString("track") != "-1")

Heres my version of the notifier options, it looks almost alike to Spoon's.

[iPlayTheSpoons]

alrighty, heres yet another update, bug fixes (thanks iron2000) and te new prefs screen. the shadow area is just faded out til i descide what to do with it

[iPlayTheSpoons]

duhhhh

[Anemovatis]

You can also add placing options too. In the 4 corners of the screen.

[iron2000]

Anyway whats new in this version?

[iPlayTheSpoons]

Originally posted by iPlayTheSpoons

[iron2000]

I changed the resize code to a modified version of the resize code of the Modern Default skin.
Wide = artist.getAutoWidth();

if (Wide < Album.getAutoWidth()) Wide = album.getAutoWidth();
if (Wide < Song.getAutoWidth()) Wide = Song.getAutoWidth();
if (Wide < 128) Wide = 128;
if (Wide > getViewportWidth()/4) Wide = getViewportWidth()/4;

Wide=Wide+40;
It resizes pretty well.

[Rellik]

I noticed that SHOUTcast streaming doesn't handle very well, all I get is an IP address; just for reference, the Modern Skin Handles it by switching the title over to songname, "Now Playing" to "On Air", artist to "Internet Radio", and album to songinfo

[iron2000]

I've made my copy work with the streaming media.
I've attached my .m file with all my mods(I edited the shadow part out).

Spoons, hope you don't mind it.

[iPlayTheSpoons]

cool, but i was already half way through my update...basically the same idea, so you guys can use whatever you want, ill have the new one out soon

[Rellik]

There is a hotkey in Global Hotkeys for "show notification". any chance of working that in?

[iron2000]

Adding hotkeys is not within my MAKI knowledge.

Anyway I am trying to add notification position, it suceeded but it spoils the slide effect.

Anyone knows the part in the script for thr slide effect?

[carlosp]

of course you can set your own hotKeys with maki:


system.onkeyDown(string key){
if (key == "your.key"){

do this or that
}
}

[iPlayTheSpoons]

@carlos...thats not exactly global, now is it?

@iron...youll need just a ton of if statements to get that to work with sliding (the fading is obviously easier), which is partof why i dont want to do it (the second is i dont see how its useful)

[iron2000]

Added positioning code sucessfully.
Fixed sliding problem.

Added my files if anyone want.

[Plague]

use System.onShowNotification() in maki for this..

[Anemovatis]

Great work iron2000. I love having notifier in the top right position. :)

[lectrospin]

I got the notifier working in my skins but its looking for 'cover.maki' which i dont have. Where do i get it?

[Mr Jones]

The version posted by iron 2000 on this page, only updates a few files from the original notifier, you need to get the full package from iplaythespoons latest version , which can be found here...

http://forums.winamp.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=1380792

And then update it with the files iron2000 has posted.

You have to click the actual text, not the radio button. Had the same problem myself, thought it wasn't working, just a strange lil bug :)

thank you
I clicked on the button but not on the text.
that functions, but on the other hand, the sliding functions only with closing, not with the opening.

Alas, the security patch in Winamp 5.05 breaks Open Source Notifier cover art, because html files are no longer extracted :/
http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?threadid=191739

[UUL]

stupid mIRC!

so there's no more minibrowser at all?

[DJ Egg]

The minibrowser (Media Library > Now Playing) still works exactly the same as before... unless you were referring to something else?

Basically, html files will be no longer be extracted from wal/wsz/zip skins, therefore cover art can't be displayed in the OpenSource Notifier pop-up, because "opensource_notifier/html/cdcover.html" is no longer extracted (in skins like boxor, k-jofol, lounge, etc etc).

Details/suggestions/workarounds in the thread I linked to above...

Yes, it works if you extract all files to a subfolder in the Skins dir

[chronic.skins]

Basically, html files will be no longer be extracted from wal/wsz/zip skins

Too bad :(

[Pimousse38]

hello,

the show of the cover art with open source notifier is possible if the skin is in a directory, and impossible when it is in skin.wal

[UUL]

you got it, it's directory by the way ;)

[iPlayTheSpoons]

damn it

[rpeterclark]

Yeah, me thinks the cover art thing has to go, I don't see any practical way to use it anymore... :(

[Mr Jones]

'Fraid it's already happening, boxOr, Lounge, Assmosis, K-Jofol along with two of my own skins have all been updated with the album cover routine //'d out of them.

Bah :/

[Francis]

[B]thats not exactly global, now is it?

It is, just look for a key named "HOTKEY: XXX" where XXX is the description of the hotkey, for instance, "HOTKEY: Playback: Play". Of course, if what you want is to handle the notify hotkey, then as Plague said, there's System.onShowNotification()

Basically, html files will be no longer be extracted from wal/wsz/zip skins

right, coz of security issues (since local html has no security restrictions), but you sould still be able to point at an html url. not sure if that helps in your case tho.

Francis.

I have reproduced the issues for both skins, the window will not close automaticly

[iron2000]

Ok took quite sometime to get to it.
Whipped up a version from the ClassicPro notifier source as I am fixing my old modern skins.

This version does not have the preferences window, the notifier options are in the Options->Notifications menu.
Should work just like the notifier in ClassicPro.

It works! :D Good job. :up:

For those of you who are not skin developers but are here because you have a skin with iPlayTheSpoons's open source notifier and are looking for a solution, here are simple instructions

You will need to unzip (unpackage) iron2000's file and the skin file you want to fix.

In the skin replace the notifier folder with iron2000's notifier folder.

Then rezip (repackage) the skin file and be sure to keep the WAL extension.

As a precaution, I do suggest making a backup copy of the skin before starting the fix.
