is there a WPS tag to capture the next track key press

<< < (2/3) > >>

jimbilly:
Giova, the play status doesn't change when you skip a track, therefore it won't be of use.

I need to capture the track change or skip key somehow to get the effect I'm looking for.

something like this theoretical example:

%?mt(2.5)<true|false>

for the true result, i show my advanced info viewport, for the false, i show my album art viewport.

i made up the %mt tag that could mean,  "track # has changed" stay true for 2.5 seconds.

JDGordon, maybe something like that would make sense and be easier to implement than detecting 'any key'

Thanks

pixelma:
Maybe the %pS tag could be useful for what you want to achieve. With it you can make your WPS show something different in the first seconds of a track and you are at the beginning of a track after a skip.

Giova:
pixelma is right:

--- Code: ---%?pS(7)<in first 7s of track|rest of track>
--- End code ---

I think this will work exactly as you want it to.

jimbilly:
awesome! that works great, exactly what i wanted, this is the code that i ended up with:

%?C<%?pS(5)<%Vd(b)|%?mv(5)<%Vd(b)|%Vd(a)>>|%Vd(b)>


so, that shows album art if there is any, unless...
1) you are in the first 5 seconds of a track in which case it shows the track details and next track info, useful when skipping
2) you jiggle the volume at which point it shows my track details and next track info


so my album art is acting like timeout wallpaper and i can see the more useful text detail when i'm navigating

thanks for everyone's input!

is there a tag to do a similar thing for the end of the song?
