Plugin Development Help - Music Now Playing (1 Viewer)

[kyleh0000]

Hi All,

Im looking for a little help from the community in developing my first plugin...

So far I have been doing well im able to access the MP Databases, create variables, Load and Save playlists and poplates the facade views.

However im having problems with the MusicNowPlaying screen it seems when I play audio I am unable to access this screen, i try to change to it by pressing x to access full screen music however the plugin just seems to crash out (ie the music stops and I get returned to the home screen)

I dont have any logs at the moment however now with RC3 being released ill start looking at the logs to find a solution in there.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried to make a music plugin before and had this issue? i have been looking on these forums for a while not but so far not found anything like what i need. I hopeing for a some source code or something for any sort of music plugin that is able to use the NowPlaying screen.

your help is always apreciated

took 3 days of banging my head against the wall but it working!

here is the code for anyone else want to know how to do this

Protected Sub LoadPlayList(ByVal strPlayList As String, ByVal startPlayback As Boolean)
Dim loader As IPlayListIO = PlayListFactory.CreateIO(strPlayList)
Dim playListPlayer As PlayListPlayer
playlistPlayer = playlistPlayer.SingletonPlayer
If loader Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
Dim playlist As New PlayList()

If Not File.Exists(strPlayList) Then
Log.Info("Playlist: Skipping non-existing Playlist file: {0}", strPlayList)
Exit Sub
End If

loader.Load(playlist, strPlayList)


playlistPlayer.CurrentPlaylistName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(strPlayList)


For i As Integer = 0 To playlist.Count - 1

Dim playListItem As PlayListItem = playlist(i)

playlistPlayer.GetPlaylist(PlayListType.PLAYLIST_MUSIC).Add(playListItem)
