AveTunes problem (can't start iTunes by click AveTunes)

I'm using iTunes 6.05 now.

Previously when I load an avetune skin and left click the skin, iTunes'll automatically start.

But now, it shows the error message that I had the wrong version iTunes installed and I'm required to update the version to 4.5+ ...

It does not affect my using of most of the avetune skin, since the info of the song'll correctly be shown. I've tried a SysStats widget called "iTunes 3.0" by Judge which use vb as a way to control iTunes, it failed on recognisation and refused to show reflection of album cover and song info =_=///

Function SetITunes()

If oiTunes is nothing Then

Init() <---failure part

Set oiTunes = CreateObject("iTunes.Application")

acceptingCommands = true

Call WScript.ConnectObject (oiTunes, "iTunes_")

If oiTunes.PlayerState = oiTunes_isPlaying Then

Call iTunes_OnPlayerPlayEvent(oiTunes.CurrentTrack)

Else

image.Value = noartfile

End If

' open the album art drawer

OpenDrawer()

End If

End Function

Just eager to find what the problem is...THX for any thoughts!

Had the same problem after installing avetunes 3,reverted back to avetunes 2 , no more problem.

#414644

Yep, same prob here:

Avetunes2 = worky

Avetunes3 = noWorky

Oh well, looks like it's back to Avetunes2 for me... ...and keep waiting patiently for AveDesk v2.0

Great work all round Ave!

And i'm sure you're using the latest AveDesk 2.0 beta with AveTunes 3 right?

#414658

I kicked the launchy part out - should I add it again?

#414665

Maybe make it a user selectable configuration choice? I usually launch iTunes first then Avetunes pops up for me so I never noticed the difference, but I can see how some folks might want to do it the other way around (launch Avetunes first)

@ Unbe: actually no, I'm using the rock-solid AveDesk 1.3 and AveTunes 2.0. I've had minor glitches with AveTunes 2.0 so thought I'd try 3.0. Remember, Ave didn't release AveTunes 3.0 as a beta so I thought it would work ok...

Anyway, like hallf said I found that the desklet works fine if you launch iTunes first...

@ Ave: if adding back in the launchy part will make the desklet function in the same way as 2.0 does, I'd say go for it!

Thanks again
