EventGhost (remote control and event listener)

[derausgewanderte]

I did some research and I found something that might be worth a try.
Please try this modification:

Code

<img style="width: 128px; height: 128px; float: left; display: inline" id = "playbutton" alt=""></td>

Thanks, Pako

thanks for checking into this. I get the identical behavior, with or without the "display: inline".
When in the "play" state it shows a black box, when in the "pause" state it shows an overlay of the playbutton with the cover thumbnail underneath.
I read in some comments about the float issues that it is something in the css code.
What is really strange is that it works for Pause state, in which case the playbutton sits on top of the cover thumbnail (from my limited understanding). But it does not work for the Play state when the cover thumbnail should show. There should really be no difference, right?
almost sounds like a hiccup in the sequence of these two that IE gets messed up.

edit: I also noticed that the "repeat" button and the "shuffle" button never change icon states. The buttons however do work and change the state in MB, although I cannot invoke the repeat one (it's either all or none). This is possibly related to the playbutton, thumbnail issue.


cheers!

We can try something.
Please download the following file:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4167851/www-musicbee.zip
Unzip it and files script.js and index.html place to the appropriate place.

Here I do not know what to do. Too bad, that for Lumia 920 there is no functional browser.

No, this is not a bug of plugin or a bug of browser. Unfortunately this is not possible.
This is a known bug of MusicBee program, but the author does not want to do a fix for backward compatibility.
You can find something about it here in the forum.

Bingo!, that works. I see you changed something in the script file related to naming of the stored data:image field. What is the difference exactly?

totally agree with you here. My only hope is that there may be at least a browser alternative available on my RT at some point. I am not very hopeful for WP8.

No, this is not a bug of plugin or a bug of browser. Unfortunately this is not possible.

got it.

thank you for spending your time for a single user request (and blindfolded too). Very much appreciated!

I realized that it seems, that MS IE has a problem with the blank image.
I previously used the smallest possible (see, for example What's the valid way to include an image with no src?).
Now I've done (for sure) the appropriate blank images (png) for all the necessary dimensions.

made a few new icons to match my WP8 look.

and with an icon on the phone

thank you again.

[Pako]

Nice!
I naturally assumed, that the appearance (some) users will to adapt.
And because between the MusicBee and smartphone is also EventGhost,
you can customize not only the look. You can even to add (or remove) also functions and change behavior.

silly question. I was able to find every color setting except for the blue slider. Where is that set? I am going blind from trying to find it

[Pako]

I am somewhat confused.
I've never used the blue color.

ok, when looking at your post on the previous page I realized that it's just picking the background color then. On my phone (even though it cannot be seen that way in the image above) the color of the slide ruler is a tint lighter than the background color and hence I thought there is a another color defined for the slide ruler towards the left of the slider icon. IE apparently does not pick the MB or Win icons for the slider as you can see from my image (just a small black rectangle). Thought I missed something.

thank you!

Hi is it possible send an event to eventghost when a device has fully synced with this plugin? Thanks.

Thank you for your interest. It seemed that no one needs this plugin.
Unfortunately, I do not use the sync function (I do not have the appropriate device).
If you do not have any events disabled (in the plugin settings), then all events are passed to EventGhost.
But I am afraid that there is no such event as you need.
You can submit a "feature request". In my observation, Steven willingly responds to meaningful requirements.

Thanks Ill sugest it.

[Pako]

i have added this event notification to the next v2.4 update
SynchCompleted = 32

It seems that very soon will make your wishes fulfilled.
Once this event is available, you will receive a "generic event 32".
I will add it to the EventGhost plugin ASAP. Then you will receive an event "SynchCompleted".

[Bush]

Thanks. Im delighted. This program is the best.

[Pako]

Beta version 2.4.5275 provides already an event SynchCompleted (currently in default form):
