    Re: Rockstar 2.0 - the ultimate online music plugin (Spotify&Grooveshark)

    Thank you for great plugin Rockstar SECO :). You rock!!

    Just want to know if the problem loading some playlists are on your todo list?

    Any plans on making the view of covers even better looking maybe some kind Coverflow. There have been another attempt to create a spotify plugin some time ago and maybe you have seen the coverflow in that plugin and know what I mean?

    Sorry I totally missed a few posts.

    Are you having problems with the playlists? I don't have any solution for that yet but I have something in my mind, unfortunately it involves a lot of work so it is not high on my priority list.

    What comes to coverflow, I've been planning to support MP facadeview in the future (I think it would include coverflow also) but this too is a big change and everything cosmetic is not high on my priority list since I don't watch the screen when I'm listening to music :p

    Is there a chance of separating the duration from #Rockstar.SelectedTrack.TrackName as a separate label in the skin? Maybe #Rockstar.SelectedTrack.TrackDuration ?

    Thanks

    - Chuck

    I will add #Rockstar.SelectedTrack.TrackDuration in the next version.

    Hi seco -

    Love this plugin. It's simple to setup and use and it just works ;-)

    I am in the process of skinning it for Fidelity. Is it possible to get the number of items in the lists (listcontrol and playlist) for display? #itemcount does not seem to be getting set.

    Also, would you be willing to open source this plugin so that some of us could help you maintain and improve it? (just asking :)

    Thanks for all your hard work!

    :D:D

    I found #itemcount to be a bit problematic. Rockstar features are asynchronous meaning that if you click "Playlists" it starts to load the playlist view. In the meantime you can go to "Default Playlist" which would set #itemcount for default playlist tracks.

    When playlists finish loading, it will override the #itemcount with playlists count and it would become visible in "Default Playlist" view...

    When the asynchronous request completes you could just check what view the user is and update or skip updating the #itemcount. Easy, unless I didnt completely understood the issue :)

    Or, can you define your own properties: #Rockstar.itemcount.playlist , #Rockstar.itemcount.playlist.default , etc ?

    Hey there,

    Great plugin. I moved from xbmc to here for it. On problem I encounter with rockstar is that it there is no option to choose to play the whole playlist instead of one number. Tis is quit annoying since for very song you have to press "play". Is this feature coming to play the whole playlist? Ive tried to use shuffle but than it only plays from the "default playlist".

    Thanks.

    There is something wrong with your setup, the whole playlist should be played automatically.

    Seco,

    Here is the cleaner Default skin XML (4:3) I mentioned in the PM.

    Hi! I think Flexelex means that when you search and press ok on one song, you can choose play now, but it gets added to the default playlist, istead of "normal" MePo musicplayer behavior, where it starts on the song and plays the following songs on the album/list automaticly, like a playlist.

    Am I right? At the least that's what I'd like it to do :)

    Thanks a lot for the plugin by the way, it's awsome!

    Andy

    Yes, this is true.

    But in Rockstar search results are not playlists so you need to create your playlist from search results first.
