Zoom Player plug-in

[Blight]

Hi,
I've updated the Zoom Player plugin for v8 (see attachment below).

To install, you need close event ghost, replace the existing copy, usually residing in "c:\Program Files\EventGhost\plugins\ZoomPlayer\" and restart event ghost.

Please include in next EG release.


Cheers,

Yaron

I'm attaching the updated plugin that covers all versions of Zoom Player up to the upcoming v8.2.0 preview 1.

Sadly, the previous update was not included in a new release.
I had the same situation with the PS3 plugin being outdated...

Is anyone doing a once-over to update the plugins and release a new version?

I noticed that Home and End have the same code:

Code: Select all

('KeyHome', 'Navigational Control Home', '36'),
('KeyEnd', 'Navigational Control End', '36'),

I suppose, End should be 35.

This update also fixes the issue igvk reported.

Is it possible to tell ZoomPlayer to play a certain file? I see the 'Open' command, but I want to remotely start playing back a certain file.

Hi,

I use the raw command option to control my Squeezebox.
Is it possible to use eg variables like eg.event.payload or eg.gobals in the raw command?
I can not get it work.

DONE

Solution it is not possible with the standard Plugin - If you need it you have to modify this line in the code FROM self.session.sendall(cmdstr + "\r\n") TO self.session.sendall(eg.ParseString(cmdstr) + "\r\n")

I can't seem to duplicate it? Does this attachment work for you?

Attached is the updated Zoom Player version 11.1 event ghost plug-in.

Hi guys!
Slight issue that I just cam up against:

I updated to new 0.5.0 rc3, and the 11.1 ZP plugin.

Everything still works ok, but Im getting this error now in the log:

C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\ZoomPlayer\__init__.py:1185: DeprecationWarning: ZoomPlayerSession.sendall is deprecated. Use ZoomPlayerSession.socket.sendall instead.
self.session.sendall(cmdstr + "\r\n")

I think the string it refers to is this:

Code: Select all

@eg.LogIt
    def DoCommand(self, cmdstr):
        self.waitFlag.clear()
        self.waitStr = cmdstr
        if not self.isSessionRunning:
            self.session = ZoomPlayerSession(self, (self.host, self.port))
            self.isSessionRunning = True
        try:
            self.session.sendall(cmdstr + "\r\n")
        except:
            self.isSessionRunning = False
            self.TriggerEvent('close')
            self.session.close()
        self.waitFlag.wait(1.0)
        self.waitStr = None
        self.waitFlag.set()

Any ideas why? Is it an EG, ZP, or ZPplugin issue?

Also the info dialog of the ZP plugin still shows as version 1.0. I checked the text of the 11.1 plugin _init__.py, and its still listed as 1.0
Is this correct?

Seems that in newest version of EG you need to replace it with self.session.socket.sendall, as suggested.
This, and self.socket.settimeout instead of self.settimeout.
Besides, StreamSelectNav was replaced with StreamSelectionNav in newer ZP versions.

Hope that the author will update this plugin and it will be updated in EG distribution, too.
And if the ZP author reads this, I would also like to see function of reading current volume in the plugin.

[farbox]

Lets hope the author updates it, cuz its a great plugin and I love it!

If not I'll try a manual edit as you suggested....

Ok this is the second plugin where we came across this. I am going to make a wrapper for it or change how the warnings are printed so you will only see it if degugging is turned on. I will force the depreaction warnings to come up only in the debugging log.

I'm not the author but i made the changes regarding socket. Please try the attached version.

For reading the current volume, did you try the raw command? I don't have ZoomPlayer and can't test it, but from reading the code it seems 2300 is the command to send.

Yes, 2300 is the way to go.
Besides that, you also need to trigger event with the value of the current volume to pass it to EG.
I had to make changes to the code of the plugin to implement volume adjustment (e.g., make volume 10 steps higher), but it would be better to do all this centrally.
The latest version of ZP plugin is also not in Git and not in the latest EG installer.

[topix]

can you show me your code changes and how you generate the volume event?

I will include the new version in the next release.
