richardsim7 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Any iTunes support? :) It'd be good if this would rival "Now Playing" - the plugin for iTunes :p -Rich- EDIT: I'm an idiot and I can't read :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/546560-release-cd-art-display-rc6/#findComment-588399382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos11 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Start your player then CAD then play some music. Right click case/cover area or tray icon and go to "Control Panel" for settings.

acies Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Sorry for the double post, I figured out my problem, it appeared someone else had not logged out, nothing was running, but it seemed to stop cad from opening itunes.

NienorGT Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks for WMP11 support! I was waiting for this since I got my Zen (Moved from Winamp as main player) Just an idea, could you make a player selection menu in the right click menu? Would be quicker to change player when you use more than one player. Or even better, an option to grab any CDarts from all programs so no need to change players, it will simply change to the latest song played from any player. Btw, to you have any guide to make a skin? Pretty confusing the ini thing :s That won't happen because it will be a completly new program in another programming language. :rofl:I don't know about programation, but if you make it hide the main program and make it output it's interface you could grab it in your sidebar gadget... no? I don't know how to explain it, but I know that Samurize do it via it's Server. Don't know me... but I agree that I would like to get my CDart in the sidebar :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/546560-release-cd-art-display-rc6/#findComment-588420875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos11 Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 @Nienor It seems that you use a lot of players! :D You can see CAD Help or visit CAD forum for how to make a skin: http://closetosoftware.com/forum/index.php Anyway, you don't have to look at the ini file since CAD has the Control Panel from where you can adjust the skin settings (excepting for rotation and mirror effect).

NienorGT Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 My main player is WMP11, but I use a lot Winamp (IE: for using with my G15 LCD) and actually I'm working on a Foobar Config...

morca007 Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Just wanted to say, I've been using a hybrid RC6/5 config with my fb2k for a few months, and I love it! Keep up the good work.

And yes i have set it up to exit when player is ended! Some foobar2000 mods + plugin can trick CAD. In your case CAD can only see the Winamp "window" created probably by a plugin and not the foobar2000 original window... If you want you can download the tool below then drag the mark (a bull eye alike in the main interface) over your foobar2000 main window title. After that take a screenshot of the results and send it to my email: support@closetosoftware.com Maybe I could make CAD see your foobar2000.... http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wingrabber.zip By the way, thank you all for your feedback! :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/546560-release-cd-art-display-rc6/#findComment-588425284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
