May I ask if you can add one so that we're able to overwrite the default value of 160kbit or as an alternative to add it to the cli syntax (e.g. "-bitrate 192")

Skwire Empire / Re: Request: /pause & /unpause switches

At the moment I am wondering about using the WA /CLASS: commandline switch
to launch Trout and change the Trout class to something else ... like maybe "SkwiresTrout" ...
The /CLASS: switch does not seem to work with Trout now,
but I thought it might be a possibility given the WA API in Trout ... ???
-AEN007 (November 08, 2011, 04:20 AM)

This on-the-fly classname changing is not going to be possible in Trout.  To even get Trout to have the "Winamp v1.x" classname that it does use, I had to hex edit the BIN file used to create the executable.

Post New Requests Here / Re: use AHK to determine CPU usgae of any given process?
« Last post by skwire on November 08, 2011, 02:34 AM »
In any case, the CPUtimes script reports the CPU usage to a TrayTip - not a variable.
I'm hoping to see a script example of how to have the CPU usage
of the active window reported to a variable ...
-AEN007 (November 08, 2011, 02:17 AM)

The GetProcessTimes(), GetSystemTimes() and GetIdleTimes() functions in that script return the data you want.  It's up to you to dump that data into a variable:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. myVar := GetSystemTimes()
  2. ; myVar will now contain the total CPU load at that moment.
  3. ; Now do whatever you need to do with the variable and data.

You can use SetTimer to constantly poll which window is active, get its CPU usage, and then act upon that value.  Alternately, you could use a ShellHook to watch which window is active.  There are pros and cons to both methods.

I have noticed that the CPU usage Trout reports for Trout.exe
does not agree with the CPU usage XP WTM reports for Trout.exe ..
-AEN007 (November 07, 2011, 10:26 AM)

Correct.  Trout reports what the BASS library is using.

-dave1 (November 04, 2011, 10:37 PM)

Thanks for the report.  In the meantime, just treat all Trout hotkeys under Win98 as global.  I may end up disabling the "Local" feature for Win98.  It just depends on how big of a PITA this will be to fix.

« Last post by skwire on November 04, 2011, 10:18 PM »
I tracked that bastige down.  It was hardset in one of the third-party libraries that Trout uses.  Sheesh.  :-\ The interesting thing is why it didn't affect Win2000 and above in the same manner.

Now, as to the other hotkey issue, that is something I can look into.  As you can imagine, Win98 testing for Trout has been extremely minimal on my part but Drugwash has kept me honest over the years.   ;D  Anyway, try this latest build and see if it solves the Ctrl+C problem.  You're immortalised in the changelog forever now.   ;)

Website | Installer | Portable
v1.0.6 build 47 - 2011-11-04
    ! Under Win98, the Ctrl+C hotkey was being erroneously set.  (Thanks, dave1)

« Last post by skwire on November 04, 2011, 09:04 PM »
One other oddity - unless I'm missing the obvious - is that upon a clean install of Trout, the VU-meter will display solid bars following the audio level; using the above configuration file, the bars are segmented as if the theme were enabled under XP (but we're still talking about Win98SE).
-Drugwash (November 04, 2011, 06:30 PM)

Set "Seekbar_Themed=1" to "Seekbar_Themed=0" in your config.ini (or remove the setting entirely).  Did you copy this config.ini from an XP/7 box?

Perhaps the Add URL function or the hotkeys option might be the source of the problem.
-dave1 (November 04, 2011, 07:58 PM)

I'm at a loss as to why it's doing as it doesn't exhibit the issue under XP and Win7.  Trout sets very few hotkeys by default and none of them are Ctrl+C.

Thanks for those files.  I optimised the parser by a factor of five on my machine.  The original build took 124 seconds to complete through your file set.  This new build takes 20 seconds.  Give it a try and let me know how it works out for you.

i don't really know. i would guess the number of ScheduleData files are governed by how many weeks of past tv listings we keep and the size is governed by the number of channels in the listings. the total size of all my ScheduleData*.xml files is 1.7gb.
-DyNama (November 03, 2011, 12:50 PM)

Understood.  Well, if you want to, you could 7-zip your collection and FTP it to me so I can test (and possibly improve your parser) against it.

http://www.autohotke...commands/_MaxMem.htm

AutoHotkey, by default, restricts the amount of memory per variable to 64 megs (but is easily changeable up to four gigs per variable).  This begs the question, though...  How large are the files he is running this on?   :tellme:  If you want, have him zip them up and send them to me for testing.

Here's a version that increases that to one gig per var:  DyNamaParser

-DyNama (November 02, 2011, 10:15 PM)

No trouble at all.  I like parsing snacks like this one.

oops, i did find a little error in it. in the ScheduleData-45133-OH34525R(All)-1321308000.XML file, the 50kb file, sample is a title that contains a comma:

Title="1,000 Ways to Die" CLetter="SPIKETV"

and the parser program cuts off the comma and everything in front of it: 000 Ways to Die

Doh.  :-[  Totally my fault.  Please re-download and see if this build fixes that issue.  DyNamaParser

Please try this:  DyNamaParser

Run it, select your folder and let it work.  You can view the progress by hovering over the tray icon.  When it's done, it will pop up the standard save file dialog.  Please let me know how it works out for you.  Thanks.

So, to recap, what you want is:

  • All titles extracted into a list.
  • UnHTML them.
  • Sort them.
  • Remove duplicates.
  • Spit this data out into a text file.

Questions:

  • I will assume that you would like to specify a root folder, have the program recurse through the subfolders, and build a list of all the titles in can find in all these Schedule*.XML files you have, right?
  • The original Schedule*.XML files are in UTF-16 format.  Would you like to keep that or convert them to something else?  UTF-8, etc.?

Ideally, the script should be expanded to scan the .INI file to find the proper section and read the assignments rather than blindly copying values, but this will do for a quick&dirty workaround.
-ehatherley (November 02, 2011, 10:37 AM)

Change the following lines from:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. FileReadLine, DpLeft, %DC_Ini_Path%, 25
  2. FileReadLine, DpTop, %DC_Ini_Path%, 26
  3. FileReadLine, DpRight, %DC_Ini_Path%, 27
  4. FileReadLine, DpBottom, %DC_Ini_Path%, 28

To:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. IniRead, DpLeft, %DC_Ini_Path%, DockedPanel, DpLeft
  2. IniRead, DpTop, %DC_Ini_Path%, DockedPanel, DpTop
  3. IniRead, DpRight, %DC_Ini_Path%, DockedPanel, DpRight
  4. IniRead, DpBottom, %DC_Ini_Path%, DockedPanel, DpBottom

You will probably need to remove the following lines as well:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. topX := getValue(DpLeft)
  2. topY := getValue(DpTop)
  3.  
  4. DpRight := getValue(DpRight)
  5. DpBottom := getValue(DpBottom)


Untested, but it should work.
