Re: iTunes Plugin
Re: iTunes Plugin
Both are working fine for me and I'm pretty sure I'm on the current version of iTunes.
I'm really excited about eventghost generating an event when the track changes.
I'm working to get my webserver to update automatically without polling and this should help.
I've noticed though if your switching songs while iTunes is paused the TrackChanged event doesn't trigger until you hit play.
I'm wondering is there a way to make it trigger the event everytime a track is changed regardless of whether iTunes is paused or not?
Thanks for all you've done with this plugin, I use it almost on a daily basis.

Re: iTunes Plugin
I just tested this plugin with version 10.1 of iTunes and it seems to work fine though.
If there is any maintenance or updates needed I will make them. If there are any other commands that you think are missing let me know.
The events that are fired are determined by the iTunes api and then only fire when the song actually plays so I don't think there is anything I can do about that. Sorry.
Re: iTunes Plugin
Could you add shuffle and repeat commands?
Also is it possible to play a specific artist? Like along the lines of playing a specific playlist.
I know with Apple's Remote App any time you play something from the app a "Remote" playlist is created in iTunes and updated with whatever is done on the app.
Would it be possible to emulate that?
Thanks for looking into an old project

Re: iTunes Plugin
I will also look into the general shuffle and repeat commands once the Search is working.

Re: iTunes Plugin
For completeness you could include genre in the search type.
Also is there a way to remove the playlist once its not in use or when iTunes closes?
Maybe also the playlist name could be customized in the iTunes plugin configuration?
All 3 Shuffles work good too.
Noticed when iTunes is first opened and nothing is playing, the shuffle throws an error.
Could this be suppressed and replaced with a comment?
I'll keep playing around with search, but it looks to be working bug free.

Re: iTunes Plugin
The open action will work and the first trackchanged triggered, but the get info from that macro and every other action just gives the itunes not running error.
I'm running iTunes 10.4.0, EventGhost 0.4.1.r1540

Re: iTunes Plugin
alls I can say is that it works perfect for me. I don't actually use it, but I just tested and everything seems fine. Basic commands, requesting now playing info, and events for new songs.
My test scenario:
Win7 32bit home
eventGhost 0.4.1.r1534
iTunes 10.1.0.56
I've attached the plugin file I"m using, just in case its different
