margru / xbmc-on-imon Goto Github PK

Do some cleanup in the code and sort it out to be able to start the work.

Everything works pretty much as expected, except the upper/lower progress bar(s) (when playing media). The bars disappears and then briefly appears, pretty annoying.
Thanks for taking over this project, and best of luck!

From Montellese: It would be nice if it would be possible to activate an equalizer mode when playing a song. Maybe the first 30 seconds the display would show metadata and then switch to equalizer mode.

From Montellese: When checking the info labels "Playlist.Repeat" and "Playlist.Random" XBMC returns a localized string and therefore detection currently only works for XBMC versions running in english.

Option for showing elapsed/remaining time during playback.

Reported by Twigtechnology:

Pause message does not get updated when resuming play, but it does update when paused again or when playback is stopped.

From Montellese: It would be nice if the GUI would provide the option to select between different languages (maybe from XML language files).

From Twigtechnology:
[VFD]
Would be nice if there was something like a line break character so I could display %artist% on the upper line and %title% on the lower.

It would be nice to get a notification of new available update of xbmc-on-imon program.

• To configure the new update message
• To configure the interval the update is checked in
• To configure an url the update is checked from???

New option for user defined texts on:

• Playback start
• Playback stop
• Playback pause
• Playback resume
• Playback end
• Playback seek
• PC shutdown
• PC sleep
• PC wake
• XBMC start
• XBMC quit
  and add a user defined delay (time in [s] the message is displayed)

Indicate, somehow, that the xbmc-on-imon is working. Some users may have set the same information to be shown whether they use Soundgraph software or xbmc-on-imon. In that case they cannot know whether xbmc-on-imon is working or not while idle (e.g. having an unstable version of xbmc-on-imon).
Solution: Display time in a format like "XBMC: 15:30" or anything else (make it optionally, of course).

The progress bar shows incorrect information when a playback does not start from the beginning but from somewhere in the middle of a media file. After seeking, the information is correctly updated.

From Montellese: It would be awesome if it would be possible to display information about the current location in the XBMC user interface on the display. This would allow to use XBMC without having to turn on the TV.
