I wanted to share an example usage of what can be done with the very useful TitleSwitcher + MusicInfoScreen extensions on an SB3.
I wanted to be able to see, in the large font, single-line display, a song's track information, but also always have the clock and track remaining playtime info available too. Since I don't have a transporter, I improvised and created a poor man's version of a split screen. On the left side of the split display, the scrolling Title shows for 5 seconds, then Artist for 3 seconds, and finally Album for 3 seconds. I've also increased the speed of the scrolling so that all the info flows by quickly. On the right side of the screen, the Clock and Playtime alternate every 5 seconds. Below are some screen shots, and here is a 'MOVIE (wmv: 1.7M)' (http://www.mikecappella.com/slimtools/SB3_TS+MIS.wmv) showing the action (speed probably inaccurate due to the various conversions required). The main settings are SB3 font set to Full and my TitleSwitcher formatting (note: I'm using a patched version of TS to allow double quotes): Code: -------------------- CURRTIMEPROGBAR => "| "CURRTIME:5,"| "PLAYTIME:5 TRACKALBUMARTIST => TRACKNUM. TITLE:5,"%%"ARTIST:3,"from \"%%\""ALBUM:3 -------------------- and finally the MusicInfoScreen settings: Code: -------------------- Single line (large font) TITLESWITCHERTRACKALBUMARTIST TITLESWITCHERCURRTIMEPROGBAR -------------------- So, Thanks to Michael, Erland, and the SB team for making such fun toys. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: frame4.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=7924| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66373 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
