Hello Everybody,

I have finally created some own scripts and extended some of the default scripts. I will propably continue to enhance them, but since I am already very happy with them, as they are now, I decided to make them public.

When I change something, then I will post it here.

To install any of the Scripts proceed as follows, download the ZIP file and
extract it to the folder "My Clicker Scripts" in the "My Documents" folder.

Windows Media Player
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes to default:
-launches Windows Media Player directly without the question dialog.
-added a MoreMenuItem Quit, which closes the Windows Media Player

Known Bugs:
-when using the Menu Item Quit to close the Windows Media Player the Widget is not closed on the mobile. This still has to be done manually, because I dont know how to close a widget automatically. If the widget is not closed manually and play is pressed, the last song will be played without WMP to show up (running in background?). This is neat if you do not want to see the player because you are working, but i am not sure if it is a bug or a feature... Quit will still work.

BSPlayer Remote
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:!: New BSPlayer Script Version 1.4, 02/06/2006 01:22 :!:
Changes:
-added Menu Items "Open on TV" (will be saved), "Quit to Monitor" and "TV/Monitor", which are only shown and will only work if TVTool is installed properly (I think TVTool 8 and higher should work. It was tested with version 9.6.4). The script should also work without TVTool beeing installed, but then there is no added functionality over version 1.3 and the new options should not be displayed. These new Options make the script "Open Movie on TV" absolete.
-code changes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:!: New BSPlayer Script Version 1.3 Bugfix, 02/05/2006 15:41 :!:
-BSPlayer has Problems with beeing the foregroundwindow or not (at least on my Computer). To circumvent most problems I encountered, I took out all ActivateWindow() calls. It may be necessary to switch to fullscreen mode once, before BSPlayer is active now (if not opened in moviemode), but afterwards it does not matter, if in fullscreen mode or not. BSPlayer stays active. Please report your experiences! so I can analyse the problem more carefully.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:!: New BSPlayer Script Version 1.2, 01/19/2006 21:04 :!:
Changes:
-Launch file select when no movie is opend and the center key ("s") is pressed.
-OSD when opening Movie (displays Name/Path+Name of selected movie, when OSD is on.)
-minor code changes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:!: New BSPlayer Script Version 1.11, 01/18/2006 23:17 :!:
Code changes:
A small amount of code has been rewritten (two lines were duplicate).

newly discovered Bugs:
-If another window is active, sometimes the activation of the BSPlayer window fails, which is very annoying. Couldn´t find out why this happens...
-when pressing up/down or center before opening a movie, Mesages are shown on the Monitor if OSD is activated. Not critical, but unwanted. Will be corrected in a future version.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:!: New BSPlayer Script Version 1.1, 01/17/2006 03:09 :!:
Code changes:
Some code has been rewritten. If you install this script, you can delete the folder "BSPlayer Fullscreen-Windows" from the first version since it has been renamed to "BSPlayer Fullscreen Switch".

Additions:
-the choice to show the filename only or path+filename is saved.
-added an OSD (On Screen Display) like in Windows Media Player. Can be activated or deactivated through MoreMenuItems. Choice is saved too.
-added More MenuItems:
1. Mute/Unmute
2. PanScan On/Off
3. Aspect ratio Cycle (original/4:3/16:9/anamorph)
4. Control show/Hide
5. OSD On/Off (switches the Onscreen menu on/off )

known Bugs:
as in first version

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!First release (1.0)!
Changes:
-launches BSPlayer directly without the question dialog
-added MoreMenuItems:
1. Fullscreen/Window (switches between Fullscreen and Window mode, as when keeping the "Play/Pause" key pressed)
2. Filename/Path+Filename (changes between showing the filename only or showing its path and the filename)
3. Quit (closes BSPlayer)

known Bugs:
when using the Menu Item Quit to close BSPlayer the Widget is not closed on the mobile. This still has to be done manually, because I do not know how to close the widget automatically. If it is not closed and any other option is used, BSPlayer is launched again.

daffy · 01.16.2006 21:09 first release

TVTool TV/Monitor
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Switches between TV and Monitor. Only tested with TVTool 9.6 but should also work with other versions supporting the /switch command line parameter.

known Bugs:
none, but make sure that the already launched programs can handle the switch from one display to another, otherwise the may react irregulary.[/b]

daffy · 01/17/2006 03:28 v 1.01

System Volume Mute
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:!: New version v1.01, 01/17/2006 03:28 :!:
Changes:
The code has not been changed, but it now replaces the default System Volume Mute Script. When installing this script, the old Folder Mute-Unmute from v 1.0 can be deleted.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!First release v1.0!
Description: Mutes/Unmutes the System Volume and shows the actual state on screen

known Bugs:
none

daffy · 01.16.2006 first release

BSPlayer Open Movie on TV
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Descritpion:
Opens a Movie witch BSPlayer on TV in Fullscreen mode.
The Script is a BSPlayer Script, but it must be called from the main menu (as BSPlayer Remote).

Requirements:
BSPlayer and TVTool (tested with version 9.6 of TVTool, but should work with all versions supporting the /tv commandline option) Will also work without TVTool, but then the display is not switched to TV.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:!: BSPlayer Open Movie On TV, BugFix 2, 01/18/2006, 23:26:20 :!:
Changes:
Some code has been rewritten.

Bug Fixed:
Script did not start due to a forgotton "new" when executing TVTool.

BSPlayer Open Movie On TV, BugFix 1, 01/18/2006, 11:20
Bug Fixed:
When BSPlayer was already open when calling this script, the open movie dialog disappeared and this script could not be closed.

remaining known Bug:
see original release. It is really important to automatically close the script since otherwise the script uses cpu time and interferes with inputs from the BSPlayer Remote (interrupted keyrepeat functions).

BSPlayer Open Movie on TV, first release

known Bugs:
the widget that launches BSPlayer and the BSPlayer Remote script is not closed. When returning from the BSPlayer widget, this widget will still be active and has to be closed manually.

Thanks, was fun to program :D

A
new much improved BSPlayer Script
and a
new SystemVolume Script (only minor update)
are available since yesterday night.

I am currently working on a WinDVD 7 Script and making progress (Play, Pause, VolUP VolDown functional). It will be similar to the BSPlayer Script, not using virtual Keystrokes, if all turns up well.

A Bug in BSPlayer Open Movie on TV has been fixed .

WinDVD Script making great progress, but I could not find a way to get the status of WinDVD (e.g. Menu Mode, playing, paused, stopped, playpos, movie length, etc.) If somone knows a way, please tell me. It would greatly improve the handling with the remote...

daffy · 01/18/2006 14:43 Beta 1

WinDVD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WinDVD 7 Beta 1, 01/18/2006

Description:
A WinDVD Remote Script. It has two Modes. Make sure to also read the help. The Modes are:

---Menu Mode---
The remote is started in this mode. It enables on to navigate in the DVD Menu. To switch to Play Mode, keep the Center key ("s") pressed.

---Play Mode---
Allows to play/pause the DVD/movie, increase/decrease Volume, accelerate playback, reverse playback. To switch to the DVD Menu and to Menu Mode keep the Center Key ("s") pressed.

More Menu Items:
Open DVD
Open File
DVD Menu
Fullscreen/Window
Mute/Unmute
Exit

known Bugs:
none

Why Beta?
1. I still hope to find a way to get the status of WinDVD (e.g. playing bakc or navigating menu). This would eleminate the need of switching manually between the 2 Modes. Besides the status could be shown on the handheld as with BSPlayer.
2. The code still contains a lot of not used code (//)
