It's VERY lite, nice one :)
If you uncheck viev>"movable windows" you will gain additional pixels from mediabase titlebar ;)

heay Sebastian,
if you notice the movable windows is switched off, the mediabase window is tabbed so i can switch between the mediabase and playlist windows in the same viewing space.

heay jiel,
if you think it good enough then feel free to share it, only thing i ask is that Mivibes host the file so i dont need to worry about looking after the file on the server. :razz:

Very interesting, I didn't think about it. My idea was to have separate keys (up, down, load to P1, load to P2) for mediabase and for playlist and to have them one the same screen.

So you've got mediabase and playlist at the same place right? One key to switch between. I'll test it today :biggrin:

Did you try to map some key to copy track from mediabase to playlist? I was looking for this command but I didn't find anything. It would be very helpful.

I was unaware that there was the possibility of setting single keystroke commands to these actions but it would be an interesting thought that i may just look into.

Again i don’t know if there is a keyboard command to switch between windows/tabs though having the windows tabbed has been a feature of Mixvibes movable windows/windows captions for a long time without any special skin or manipulation.

Mapping keys for these functions for now i believe is not possible either though its funny that you should bring this up.. i have been messing about with using an infra red remote control for these function using an original Playstation 2 ir remote and software called Girder. Girder maps recived ir codes and has the ability to translate them into keyboard commands much like the Microsoft Media Centre Remote. Girder also has the ability to execute multiple keyboard commands with one button press on an ir remote, doesn’t work so well for realtime events as the latency is not so great but any action that can be made with a keyboard in the media base and other parts of Mixvibes can be easily mapped including left and right clicks.

An example of this would be adding a song to the playlist, as there is no “CTRL+” shortcut in Mixvibes for this, pressing a button on the ir remote would emulate the following keyboard commands on a highlighted track “right click, arrow down 8 times then enter”.

I’m still very much playing with this idea but it seems to work very well for the purposes i want to use it for, and if it does work 100% i’ll be posting the information on whats needed and how to do it including building your own infra red receiver.
