Hi John,
Greetings All,
I have several questions this afternoon. . .
1. I am using Klaus Major's "makemesmile" function to play songs
in REV.
Thank you very much, looks like I'm in demand now :-)
If there is just one song in the list, I can figure out the
duration. However, if there are two or more songs in the list, the
duration reported during the playback of the first song is the
duration of just that song. The duration reported during the
playback of the second song is the cumulative duration of both
songs . . . and so on.
Yes, if you query the "duration" etc... of a player set to a SMIL
file, it will report the SUM of all
the files in the SMIL file.
Is it possible to get a report of the duration of all the songs
together from the very start?
Yes, but not via SMIL.
You could:
1. Use Trevors wonderful EnhancedQTExternal to get the durations of
the songs
from the files on disk in a loop and add these values.
2. Load the songs in a loop into a player object and add the values
of their durations.
2. I would like to report which song is playing, but I'm not sure
how to retrieve this information.
You could use Rev 2.7.3, if possible, in this version looooong
filenames on OS X in players
are finally supported. But then you will need another approach, since
SMIL files can not do
you need.
3. Klaus made his "makemesmile" function available to me because I
was running into long file names that contained odd characters.
For the most part, his script works fine. However, the following
files refuse to play, and I'm wandering if anyone knows why. They
play OK in iTunes. I thought maybe I was running up against a
character limitation, but I have other songs that have longer
names, and they play OK.

Very strange, indeed?
I am sure they play fine QT Player?!!!
Then i have no idea, sorry :-/
Did you check "the result"?
Thanks for any and all help you can give.
Sincerely,
John Miller
