The worst is that you wrote VLC in your post.....

Hello, nice job on this.

I might be doing something wrong, but a lot of song names are longer than the screen, so I went in to enable scrolling, but everything disappears.  Is scrolling text supported with this one?

Hello
 I have the same problem when you select the option to scroll all the information disappears winamp

[Triscopic]

huh. I'll look into it, but there shouldn't be any difference between this and a normal text object... the only real change is that the "enter text" field is removed and is instead populated by a set of api calls to music players. The actual text display stuff ***should*** be completely unchanged.

should.

But clearly, *something* is going wrong. Can you double check that a static text object works as expected if you copy the same text in to it as is displayed in the now playing item please?

Unfortunately, I've the same issue.... no text appear when it's in scrolling mode...

[Litcube]

Triscopic, as per your request, other text seems to scroll fine. 

[Triscopic]

Yes, I've replicated it. I know what the cause is and I'm trying to fix it, but there's problems with getting iTunes to work. I had this problems compiling 1.03 to ship with A15 and the problem has reappeared.

Release Notes:

Updated to 1.04:

• Fixed issue with scrolling not working

[Litcube]

Hm... 

Is there a way to add a carriage return after the author?  Quite often the author and title don't fit on the same line on a font large enough to read.  I've tried the new scrolling feature, but it doesn't wrap, part of the name is hidden most of the time.

I don't think the text class can do line breaks. I will add a note to investigate it though. But I've got a lot of other things on my to-do list, so it won't be soon.

Actually, the text class supports a limited HTML subset, including CSS, images, and yes, linebreaks.

[OpenAreas]

Had the same issue. Your update fixed it, thanks. Maybe they should stick it in the main download? The update that is.

[PipWinsAgain]

Will definitely use this plug in when VLC is added

Triscopic,

This might be a snotty question, and it isn't intended as such, but is the source code for this particular plugin lying around this site?  I'd like to add a carriage return on that song name, and possible more information such as length, current time into the song, etc.

I'm an experienced coder, and I'd like to have a bash at it.  I'll send you anything I come up with.

If not, no worries.  Nice work.
