If I can get bitmaps to work then will there be a release for G19 with nice backgrounds, logo and with artwork.
I hope I can realise this but I got a lot of problems using bitmaps in a Dll and in Logitech SDK .

Looks good so far but I hope you'll keep working on this in order to give it a bit more functionality like browsing playlist and possibly library, activating/deactivating shuffle, repeat, etc. And my personal request: Rating. Would be very nice.
Anyway in this simple state it does what it's supposed to do, thanks for that.
I'll report if I experience bugs or crashes.

Images in this plugin are slowed down. Because we got problems of gettings images in a dll.

Thanks for that nice plugin .

I'm working hard to release Logitech Applet version 2.0 so soon as possible.
But there are a few difficulties. But in the next release there will be a settingsscreen and a playlist screen .
Also you can rate a song with your keyboard . Stay tuned for the release.

[slimmeke]

Version 2.0 is delayed for a long time . There is a bug in the MusicBee API (I think) for rating. The rating doesn't work. Also when adding multiple screens to the LCD the stability of the applet is very bad. It crashes a lot. And because of that I can't release the next release. I'm verry sorry. Maybe in the future I will add more features but now I will program an other project and the exams are comming.
Also you can add your features in the code. The code can be found at: https://bitbucket.org/jimmyD/musicbee-logitech-applet/src
If you can find any bugs in the stable release pls report it and I will fix it.

nice work mate,

Quick question when i start MusicBee the app pops onto the lcd
and remains when i stop or pause a song.

Is it possible to have it switch to main lcd screen ( in my case the clock) after a period of time or if song is stopped ?

i know its possible to switch via keyboard but an auto switch would be amazing.


Cheers again for excellent work.

Logitech G15

[slimmeke]

Ronin47 I can do that for you. Give me max 2 weeks. I got a lot of homework for school this weeks.

[Ronin47]

not a problem mate sort yourself out , we can wait .

Thanks again for the plugin
