« Last post by skwire on February 18, 2009, 10:13 AM »

Thanks a lot for this player, great work! I'm blown away - again - by what's possible with AHK.

PS: The version number given in your first post in this thread is outdated.

PPS: I suggest you add "audio player" to the thread topic (to find it more easily).
-brotherS (February 18, 2009, 09:22 AM)

You're welcome; I'm glad you like it. Sometimes the version number will get outdated when I upload silent bugfix builds.

Edit: I found that I can only move the Trout window with the mouse, not with the Windows key + Cursor keys (AHK script), which works for virtually all other programs I use. Any idea why?
-brotherS (February 18, 2009, 09:22 AM)

Hmmm...that's odd. I have a similar keyboard move script and it works fine. If you want to PM me your script code, I can try it out on my systems.

I also saw that the "TE" and "TR" track info (your position in the file) is not updated while a file is paused, you can rewind or fast forward, but only when you resume the file it's being updated. Nothing big, just mentioning it.
-brotherS (February 18, 2009, 09:22 AM)

Yes, the times only update if the track is playing but I should be able to change this. In the meantime, the tooltip should show the current time you're dragging to even if a track is paused. Thanks for the feedback.

v1.0.2 build 119
+ Made the following keys available for hotkeys: - = [ ] \ ; ' , . /
+ Added a "Preserve file modification time when saving tags" options under Tools, Options,
General. [Thanks, badmojo]
* More Win9x/ME compatibility fixes.
1) Font selection size should now work properly.
2) Hotkeys should work now. However, mouse-button hotkeys under 9x are sketchy at best.
3) Text display bits should be more compatible with themed progress bars.
* Added 'Options' back to the tray menu. [Thanks, lanux128]

Random is just that...random. The same song could be played ten times in a row. Shuffle will play each song in the list one time and stop. Certain actions will "reset" the shuffle list, though. Namely, adding or deleting files from the list as well as changing play modes. Make sense?

v1.0.2 build 106
+ Added "Explore here" option to the Edit/context menu. [Thanks, apfel]
+ Added an option for specifying a custom file manager in regards to the 'Explore here'
feature. It's under the Tools, Options, General tab. You use the $file_p token for
the path. I use Altap Salamander as my file manager of choice so I have the
following specified:

C:\apps\file\Salamander\salamand.exe -L "$file_p"

This would open Altap Salamander with the left pane at the path of the currently
focused song. If a custom file manager is not specified, the path is simply "run"
and Windows Explorer will most likely display (unless you have some other file manager
specified as default on your system).
* Cut the tray menu back down the basics as it was getting out of hand.

Absolutely. I plan to go one better and provide an option for a custom file manager string for those that don't use Explorer (like me).

-lanux128 (February 09, 2009, 07:10 PM)

I hope to add this soon. It will be optional, however. As in, you will need to copy the dcupdater into your Trout folder yourself. Would that be okay?

Very cool. In the VM I test 9x on, it always shows the standard AHK green "H" icon. Maybe it's an ME thing? Drugwash, what does your Win98 tray show for Trout?

What happens if I select multiple tracks and click on edit tags->change/add date->save tag?
Will be the taracks overwritten with the same tag values for artist/album/date or only the changed date value?
-apfel (February 09, 2009, 09:40 AM)

There is no multiple track editing in Trout; only the focused track gets edited. The focused track is the one with the dotted rectangle around it. You can have multiple "selected" tracks but only one row is ever the "focused" row. Does that clear it up?

Doh, that's me screwing up the changelog and post. The about box version/build text is actually generated from reading the trout.exe, so, it's the correct one.

I was trying to avoid having to build my own player from scratch - what a waste of time reinventing the wheel! - and also to give people like me - Win9x users - a chance to benefit from your hard work. But I'm afraid that's impossible, from what you said. Too bad.
-Drugwash (February 05, 2009, 07:32 AM)

v1.0.2 build 91
+ Added code to support Win9x/ME systems. Thanks to Drugwash and app103 for testing.
Notes:
1) Win9x/ME users will get the older slider controls for volume and seekbars.
2) Tag editing has been disabled under Win9x/ME.
3) freedb.org for CDs appears to work.
4) Last.fm appears to work as well.
5) Copy-to-clipboard functions do not copy in unicode.

« Last post by skwire on February 05, 2009, 12:59 AM »

I only registered here because of this player. As a couple other users around, I'm using Win9x too - Win98SE, to be more precise. As such, I'd appreciate if you would allow me/us to help in fixing the few (minor, I'd say) issues that we found in testing this script.
-Drugwash (February 04, 2009, 08:58 PM)

I honestly appreciate the interest and desire to see Trout work properly under Win9x/ME. That being said, I do not have the time, desire, or setup (only a VM) to test under Windows 98. I'm also not a fan of making code changes (in hopes that it works under another OS) that I cannot test myself.

Basically what needs attention are:
- missing tags
-Drugwash (February 04, 2009, 08:58 PM)

Trout's tag reading handles all strings in unicode so installing the Microsoft Layer for Unicode in your system may get them to display properly.

- seek and volume progressbars not functional (sliders might've been better for 9x)
-Drugwash (February 04, 2009, 08:58 PM)

This is most definitely an AHK/Win9x limitation in the current code. I can, possibly, try to find a way around this.

- currently playing icon appears to be 32bit, thus displaying a black background in 9x
-Drugwash (February 04, 2009, 08:58 PM)

You can modify the resources.dll yourself with ResHacker.

Other issues I noticed would be:
- Options panel out of screen at the bottom (on 1024x768 resolution)
-Drugwash (February 04, 2009, 08:58 PM)

Hmmm...the options panel is only 440 pixels high.

- lack of drag'n'drop sorting in playlist (major issue for me personally)
-Drugwash (February 04, 2009, 08:58 PM)

Drag'n'drop sorting will be a long time coming (if ever).

It would be interesting to try and make the list view RichEdit-aware; since I've tested and cRichEdit can display Unicode characters correctly on my system and you already manipulate strings in Unicode mode, maybe we could get it to display the Unicode ID3 tags properly in 9x.
-Drugwash (February 04, 2009, 08:58 PM)

A standard listview, such that AHK has (SysListView32), doesn't have any sort of RichEdit capabilities. I'm not much interested in retro-fitting a third-party control into Trout since one of my design goals/challenges was to keep Trout as natively AHK as possible in an attempt to show just how much can be accomplished with the language.

Oh and here's Trout Player on my 98SE system:

-tomos (January 30, 2009, 07:27 PM)

Let's assume we go with this method. How would you like it synced? Here are two possible methods:
1) Clear the playlist and rebuild it from the specified folders.
2) Clear only dead entries, re-scan tags of existing files, and add any new files found to the end.

Hmm, I love the idea of having an ahk tool to play music.
However, I cannot get it to work. It just doesn't show up... I reported my problem here. Of course this is my computer only. I'm just posting here in case anyone (skwire?) knows what all the programs that don't pop up have in common. I use other ahk tools and they do pop up fine.
-urlwolf (January 30, 2009, 10:28 AM)

Honestly, I have no idea why it won't appear. I'm confused, though. From your previous problem report link, it seems that you found the problem app (TrayIt)?

I am well aware of, and use, the desktop heap fix that app103 mentioned. Did you try it? That being said, there should be nothing in Trout that would use massive amounts of desktop heap resources.

-tomos (January 30, 2009, 07:20 AM)

Yes, it is, mainly because Trout doesn't really work on a directory level; it cares about full paths. However, I could envision an option where you could add a folder or folders that Trout would know to sync the list from. Does that make sense?

N.A.N.Y. 2009 / Re: NANY 2009 Release: Trout

« Last post by skwire on January 30, 2009, 06:53 AM »

Maybe this would be easy possible if the playlist was directory based, like in Apollo. Another player which uses a directory based playlist is QuickPlayer,
-Controller (January 30, 2009, 12:19 AM)

From what I can tell, you're the author of QuickPlayer, eh?

d) process all affected songs, remove missing songs only, and add those not yet present in the playlist to the end of the playlist. That way all still existing files stay in position (and no synchronizing of tags is needed, you just would have to scan tags for the new entries)
-Controller (January 30, 2009, 12:19 AM)

This is the closest to the method I had in mind.

If you implent, don't forget to add detection of removable devices and add a menu to easliy 'sync' those too.
-Controller (January 30, 2009, 12:19 AM)

Most likely will not happen since I think we're starting to get a bit out of scope for Trout.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

-tomos (January 29, 2009, 03:57 AM)

I thought that might be the case. I'm trying to wrap my head around how to implement such a function, though. I mean...you can have files from multiple folders in the list so how would I know which folder you want to rescan? All of them? Just the selected row's folder? Is there another player out there that does this in the manner that you like? I know the latest foobar will automatically watch folders you specify and add/synch the files to its database. However, it doesn't automatically add them to the playlist.

Mabye I'm making this more complicated than it seems, but would you mind providing a bit more detail as to how you would like this to work?
