cwc Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Control your media player from within KSP.The buttons emulate the media keys found on most keyboards, so it should 'just work' with any Windows media player.Download directly or install with CKANSource Code Edited December 24, 2014 by cwc Now available via CKAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratzap Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Nice one, I'll give it a go. Which players does it work with (I assume you mean it doesn't play the music files itself)? VLC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VLC?It emulates the 'media keys' present on many keyboards. It looks like it will control whichever player your OS decides it should, in that context.

cwc Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 a bitten rocket as logo perhaps? Ha, I like this idea. I'm not much of an artist, but if there's a neat (and free) icon out there I could probably edit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if, that'll better )That permit to hide ure plugin when not needed, and just clic the toolbar button 4 having it back (but surely u know that )Yeah I was thinking I could stick a button in the new stock toolbar, but I haven't looked into the API for working with it yet. I'll make an issue for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwc Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 kTunes 1.2 is now available.I changed the startup position and hid the title bar. IMO it looks a bit nicer out of the box this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwc Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Ok forget winamp does this work with spotify and QMP?I know from experience that it works great with Spotify. The only requirement for support is that the media player handle media key events, which is going to be pretty much any modern player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruedii Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 You might want to look into setting this it up to use "MPD" media controls instead.You should be able to find an existing mono binding module for MPD, and it since it's only interacting with the GUI, and no Unity events, there is no need for it to be Unity specific.MPD generally allows you to have music player controls and a now playing listing. It also has more advanced controls but they are harder to program for, most people don't want to bother with them, and they are less widely supported anyway.

cwc Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 You might want to look into setting this it up to use "MPD" media controls instead.That's an interesting idea. I only set out to make a simple keyboard emulator, but supporting MPD opens up a lot of possibilities. It might be awhile before I can get around to it, but I'll keep it in mind.Tracking issue: https://github.com/cwc/kTunes/issues/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Blue Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Looks like this might be dead in the water, by just for informational purposes, I'll post that I installed this in KSP 1.0.5, and ran it on both Linux and Windows installs... Icon shows in the toolbar, and buttons show in the UI as they are supposed to... However, clicking any of the buttons does absolutely nothing, and throws this exception in Exception Detector: InputSimulator WindowsInput.InputSimulator.SimulateKeyPress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_vager Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Thanks for the info Stone Blue, unfortunately it looks like cwc won't be back to update this and he never licensed it so it's all rights reserved. I better close this thread for now, if cwc wants I can reopen it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
