I am glad someone is using it. I will try to add some more functions in the future if people are actually using it!

i do not understand some of the functions you placed in your plugin
a) set volume level
Your english seems quite good so I assume you know what volume means. I think this one is pretty simple. If you set volume to 0 sound will be off. If you set set volume level to 100 it will be very loud. It is the same as adjusting the volume slider in itunes.

b) toggle fullscreen
this only works if you are using visualization. (Ctrl-T in itunes). It will switch the visualization back and forth between window mode and fullscreen.
I realize now that I need to add a command to turn on visualization!

c) the information things, like get title and so on
This is a bit more complicated, but still easy once you know how to use it. Each of these commands asks itunes for information about the song that is playing. the anwer is stored in a variable called 'eg.result'. A lot of plugins use this method to retrieve information.
To see the result you can for example, use the 'show OSD' action. click 'add action' then look in the tree under eventghost. 'show osd' is the last item. When you add the action a window will pop up with settings. There is a box called 'text to display'. here you can type any text you want to display. Type the following in the box: {eg.result}
you should be able to copy and past this into the configuration tree in event ghost for an example...
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1194">
<Macro Name="Get Title" Expanded="True">
<Action>
iTunes.GetTitle()
</Action>
<Action>
EventGhost.ShowOSD(u'{eg.result}', u'0;-24;0;0;0;700;0;0;0;1;0;0;2;32;Arial', (255, 255, 255), (0, 0, 0), 0, (0, 0), 0, 3.0, False)
</Action>
</Macro>
</EventGhost>
