Multi-Plugin 2.3 for iTunes 6

anyone know if this resolves the issue with crashing when syncing large numbers of files to a 5g video iPod?

#362912

I tried this the last time I created Crimson for iTunes 6, but it seems that the 2 pixels on each side are being ignored... I've made a color code template: (Magnified 400%)

border1.jpg

And the result:

As you can see, the black border are not being rendered; it started rendering 2 pixels from the outline (red), and the red border is hidden BEHIND the gray border... I'm not sure how to explain this but I'm sure you know what I mean..

Sorry for being such an PITA lol*, it's not really much of a trouble though, these borders problem..

Thanks yet again ;)

Oh, I never noticed that.

I guess I'll have to rewrite the titlebar/border/corner skinning code.

It will fix some other small bugs as well, like the bug when you activate/deactivate the iTunes window and see the resizing corner changing to the original one for a moment.

localhost, thank you for that exceptional release.

Any hope for skining the artwork window in a later release, maybe?

@localhost: Thanks very much for your patience and hard work :D:P

@belgrano: Try creating a 195x195pixels 32b graphic and save it as iTunes_409.bmp in the Extended folder ;)

All the bitmaps after the Equalizer background should not be changed - their numbers might be different on different computers or different instances of iTunes.

As I said, I'll eventually include video/album art window skinning.

Oh, didn't know about that one, my mistake.. sorry ;)

This is possibly the best plug-in for anything in existance. Thankyou so much - I love this plugin :D

is anyone else having the problem that when you colorize a skin, and then restart itunes, the saturation always goes back to +100, no matter where you had it before.

#363208

I do sometimes get that problem Wezley... but sometimes it doesn't occur !!

can you post the value of ColorAdjustment in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMPluginSettings after you choose the saturation you want and click OK in the preferences dialog?

I guess you didn't see my post regarding the Foobar2000 passthrough problem:

igo - I'm glad it worked out. What exactly did you need to do?

#363393

Ohhh.. . that's my bad mate... I didn't see that Post !!!

Anyways, Like u said I checked the permissions with Plugin Folder in iTunes Directory. I had all Read permission but the write permissions where not properly set. I Just took the owenership of the entire folder from Security panel in Folder Properties Dilogue box !! and Voila !! It worked... :)

#363405

OK, thanks :) I'll fix that in the next version probably.

#363420

hey localhost, the coloradjustment value in the reg key is 0x0000009c (156)

#363456

I found the problem, it was a small signed/unsigned mismatch issue.

Until I upload the fixed version, you can set the saturation to any positive value or zero and it shouldn't happen.

Edit:

It's up now.

#363542

awesome work thanks a bunch!

#363567

localhost, I have a small issue: when I install/uninstall MP 2.3.1 and now, with 2.3.2 too, the installer (multi-plugin installer.exe - or something like that) keeps running in the taskmanager and I cannot make it quit even with 'end process'. It is not such a big deal, MP is ok, iTunes is working ok, only that the installer doesn't quit. Of course I can make it stop by loggind out and back in or by restarting, but I thought you should know.

Anyway, thanks again for that great piece of work. :)

@belgrano: Do u have Firewall Running ?? like Zonealarm or so? It is possible that it's not quitting because of that. it happenes sometime with me... not with mp but some other app

#363645

Yes, I have McAfee Personal Firewall Plus...

Hmmm... never thought it would cause that problem.

#363659

It basically happens sometimes with apps that are tryting to connect to internet... at first I was also baffeled why they won't go after doing end task.... then I closed my Firwall (ZoneAlarm) and the those apps also disappeared from Task Manager.

I guess they remain hooked to Firewall for accessing net and wudn't let go untill firewall shoo them off.. lol !!

#363674

lol, only with the stupid process management of Windows such thing could happen.

Reminds me of the bug that if a program has an infinite loop of beeps, winlogon.exe starts to use 100% CPU for quite a long time if the program isn't closed quickly.

#363694

It has already been discussed, it's a known issue and I'll fix it in an later release.

Yes. Doesn't matter what value I plug in, it goes to +100 as soon as I close preferences.

Missed the response. I get the same result with zero, however.
