I have been working with this applet for several days. I am creating a "now playing" screen for my Squeezebox Radio based on the STYLE: CS Basic Digital Clock - with track info and short date. I have re-sized the clock and have it and the date as I like it; my problem is with the track info. In short, I would like to eliminate the "Album" data so only the Artist and Track names are displayed, or alternatively alter the timing of the display so long album titles finish displaying before the track title overlays it.
It appears that the various switchingtracktext itemtypes are not configurable, so the alternatives are the tracktext, trackplayingtext, and trackstoppedtext. I don't understand how to use the title format keywords as described in the "Custom Clock Helper" documentation here: "tracktext - A text label where you can enter title format keywords which will be replaced by real values for currently playing track, see description of the text attribute for more information about possible keywords." I have tried entering simply "track", "artist", %track" and "%artist" but each simply displays exactly what was entered, not the actual artist or track. Primarily I am using my Radio to listen to Pandora, and the switchingtractext itemtype displays everything appropriately, with the exception of the timing. That is why I wish to use the tracktext itemtype. Any help will be greatly appreciated! -- lsanders99 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lsanders99's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52822 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92680 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
