Previewer 2.9 - Updated 26/07/2014

[pyt99]

i'd like to use a singol key to play and pause the track, do you think it's possible?

[pyt99]

sorry, i was wrong. i'd like to use a singol key to play and cancel the song

[trixmoto]

Could be tricky to get right. You'd never want to keep the song in the list then, you'd always want to remove it?

[pyt99]

you're right, I had not thought of this. Maybe the GUI is the best solution

[pyt99]

sorry to bother you, but if possible can you post the script without GUI?. I thought about it and I want to
use only the keyboard to play songs

[dypsis]

I am trying this script for the first time.

How do you access it?
I an access it via Right Click for Scripts, but it wiped out my Playlist.

[trixmoto]

@pyt99 - I'll add it to my list and see what I can come up with.

@dypsis - it should be available in "Tools > Scripts > Previewer" or you can edit the "Scripts\Auto\Previewer.vbs" file to show toolbar or menu items by setting the appropriate variables to "True" and then restarting MM. It definitely shouldn't wipe out the now playing list.

[dypsis]

Yeah, it keeps wiping out my playlist even if I cancel the previewer.

Great Script- Exactly what I needed! I did notice someone asked about a shortcut to the previewer. I found it easiest to set as a hot key in the options window under the tools menu. I use tab myself. The previewer helps a lot when trying to tag songs that don't have much info. Thanks!

Dont know what's wrong - the preview GUI appears - new songs adds to end of playing list -
If I don't click anything then GUI disapperas, preview song is deleted and player is restored ...

i tought I could play as long as i like the preview sojng ...
What's wrong!?
Oops - it works with SDB.CreateTimer(30000) - what does this value mean?

[trixmoto]

It should play through the whole song, yes. The GUI should not disappear without you clicking anything, it's a modal form. CreateTimer accepts the number of milliseconds, so 30000 is 30 seconds.

Thanks! Couldn't do without this one.

Love the toolbar button too.

[GeertJ]

Sorry, just accidentally pressed 1 'star' as a rating and seem not able to correct that.
It works like a charm.

Thanks a lot.

[trixmoto]

Haha, no worries I'm glad you like it.

Thanks so much for this script, trixmoto! As with all of your scripts, it's really great!

New version (2.2) is now available from my website.

I have added a (non-editable) trackbar which shows the current song position. I have requested an event which will allow me to make this trackbar editable in a future version.

This event (OnChange) now exists. I have added this event to the script manually.

Code: Select all

Sub Seek(PosBar)
  If ManualChange = true Then
    SDB.Player.PlayBackTime = (PosBar.Value*SDB.Player.CurrentSongLength)/1000
  End If
End Sub

Enable the control, create a variable (I called it ManualChange) to make sure Seek ignores it when UpdatePosBar changes Posbar, and that's it!
