Re: Any documentation on UI..
Hi Harald, thanks for your email. I decied to do a direct lcdui after it was suggested at the freeamp mailing list. I don't mind using the lcdproc as long as It give me enough functionality. I may do some more modification/addition to the lcdprc. However, when I tried the lcd.ui through lcdproc I don't see (bar, scroller etc..). Which version of the lcdproc server Do i need. Can I compile the freeamp lcdui.cpp without any modifications and see all the features it has?. I would appreciate reply.. thanks Julius >From: Harald Klein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: Julius Xavier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED], >"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: Any documentation on UI.. >Date: Fri, 10 Mar 2000 08:54:23 + > >Julius Xavier wrote: > > > > Hi Harald, > > > > thanks for the email.

Use lcdproc via localhost, _start only your client_, and its the same for you (freeamp always on "top"), but keeps compatibility with other lcdproc users. lcdproc supports keypad input from mtxorb, infrared from lirc and irman, and joystick. You have scrollers, bars, all implemented in lcdproc. PLEASE USE LCDPROC, for you its the same, all other lcdproc fans will thank you.

Re: Any documentation on UI..
> 1) Input support for the LCD ui (either key pad or knop, remote etc.) > 2) Play-list support (list, update, etc.) > 3) Diplay the meta data (artist, album etc.) First thing is to check out the ncurses ui -- it uses curses to display the meta data of the current song -- you should be able to grab some code from that. Playlist support is not hard either -- each UI gets an FAContext object which contains a pointer m_plm to the playlist manager. Check out the playlist.h in base/include for details on which operations you can perform on the playlists. Elrod, which messages should he watch out for? --ruaok Freezerburn!

Any documentation on UI..
Hi folks, I am thinking of modifying or redoing the LCD. I want to support at least the following features and I think those are not available at present: 1) Input support for the LCD ui (either key pad or knop, remote etc.) 2) Play-list support (list, update, etc.) 3) Diplay the meta data (artist, album etc.) Would the freeamp team give me a sort of starting point / documenation to do that. I have little bit of time but not that experienced in programming. I am learning quickly and I want to do this as a learning processo as well. I am planning to use the MatrixOrb LCD. thanks __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freeamp.org/mailman/listinfo/freeamp-dev
