L|M|TER Media Player - NEW VERSION 4.0.0.7 !

[LIMITER]

NEW VERSION 3.4.6 !!!

Now with 50% less CPU usage ...

[Uriziel01]

1)Some little problems with the song progress bar

2)When using next song button, the "Winamp style" window is just blank

3)When downloading this Demo Song all program stucks (i can not even move the window!)

4)Downloading the demo song is equal with clearing your playlist

5)Player still freazes when the Mini window is wisible

But it is also great step forward Keep working

[LIMITER]

I'm currently looking at the code to fix the problems you specified ...

Few things though:

- the demo song is clearing the playlist because it was intended to be downloaded at the FIRST START of LMP (the very first start) ...

-the program hangs while downloading because AutoIt DOES NOT SUPPORT MULTI-THREADING (which means it can't run 2 functions at the same time ...)

You can use the InetGet() function and specify the background parameter. That way you can do other things

Yes I now that, but I dunno understand why in this case you are doing it in this way, just make the "Downloading Demo song" button opens IE with adress of song or something in this type, because if some one have slow Internet Connection (256Kb or 512Kb) it is annoing to wait and do nothing in this time. But I understand it is Your program and you Idea, if this was your goal (I mean if it is not bug ) then it is OK

Hope you all enjoy the demo song

Ok L|M|TER, i've gone ahead and fixed up all the CPU issues, max usage is now 2% (on my machine)

You can download the new lmp.au3 from the bottom of this post

Issues i noticed:

- After you've paused a song and then play it, the statusbar says 'song paused...'

- Themes still aren't working ...

- It's too awesome

Now if only we could get an sound equaliser in AutoIT

Download here: lmp.au3

[Uriziel01]

In fact we (I mean You, I dont have time now) CAN add equalizer in AutoIt, about 4-5months ago I have founded a .dll with equalizer functions, if you cant find it I will meaby find few miniutes of time and search it on my HDD.

NEW VERSION 3.4.7 !!!

Fixed many bugs ...

[Uriziel01]

Yeah I really like 3.4.7 ! You are making really alot of hard job, and I really belive that it will be best player maded in AutoIt

[LIMITER]

Thx Uriziel01 & All others for the great support and interest in LMP !

[SxyfrG]

No problems, just helping a fellow AutoIT-er

*EDIT*

I had another look through your script ...

When you create the splash screen with the LMP logo, add a 10 millisecond sleep between the fade-in and fade-out bits, i.e.

For $i = 0 To 255 Step 10
    SetBitmap($Splash, $hImage, $i)
    Sleep(10) ;so the fade is visible
NextoÝ÷ Ø    Ýjëh×6For $i = 255 To 0 Step -10
    SetBitmap($Splash, $hImage, $i)
    Sleep(10) ;so the fade is visible
Next

Oh, and some suggestions:

- If you have selected no song and you press play, play the first song in the playlist

- save/load playlists (create a new GUI with a list of playlists, have an auxiliary option to import a playlist from a text file or .m3u file etc.)

- fix up the problem when you press the pause button without playing a song and the statusbar says 'playing'

- Get rid of the msgbox's when you don't select a song or folder

- Create your own custom search GUI with multiple options, such as:

+ Match artist & song

+ Match song only

+ Full name of song

+ Match artist, song name and album name

+ Match artist, album and track number (i.e. The Offspring, Americana, 11)

+ etc.

(You can change any, remove or add any that you want, those are just my suggestions)

- Reduce the splash screen time, make it 500 milliseconds or so

- Add ENG (British/Aus) language

- Set a hotkey so you can delete a selected listview item by just pressing that key

- Fix up the time lag between Elapsed and Remaining updates

- Shorten the width of the Artist segment of the statusbar and add a new segment, Album

- Add an equaliser if you can (i couldn't find any documentation on AutoIT forums ...)

Lovin' this media player

Check the #1 post

[ludocus]

A LOT OF BUGS, lol sorry but there are all sorts of new bugs in it!

[LIMITER]

Well... Tell me about them so I can fix them

BTW ... I'm now COMPLETELY REDESIGNING the GUI, so stay tuned

[SxyfrG]

had a quick look through it and these were the bugs i found:

- Some tracks will not play (i have a high quality release version of the offsprings new single, won't play)

- Progress bar doesn't work anymore (stays at 0)

- In your menu's, the hotkey to call that function is displayed as such: ExitEsc (there's no space or tab between the function and the hotkey)

- Video player crashes when you close the video player:

Line -1:

Error: The requested action with this object has failed.

- The hotkeys are a bit iffy, i think you're unsetting them somewhere then not setting them again. (yes i know, poor english )

- Hotkeys don't work until you change the focus from LMP and then give it focus again.

@SxyfrG

Interesting ...

I'm now testing the new beta version, which has a completely redesigned GUI ...

But, the functionality will be restricted, due to the removal of some bits and pieces...

I can't test the Sound functions because my windows is messed up (I'll reinstall it soon... )

Some of the key features og the new release :

- NEW GUI !

- Mini mode (yep... it now has a "mini" mode in which the playlist is hidden )

- Increased speed due to the removal of some functions and upgrading to AutoIT 3.2.12.0 ...

I'll also try to fix the bugs in the new version (after i'll reinstall my win...)

Stay Tuned !

[LIMITER]

After a long time, L|M|TER Media Player 3.5.0 is now RELEASED !!

Redesigner GUI

Rewritten code

Many bugs fixed
