Line in

[jkrzok]

Has anyone tried the Line in plugin yet? Any problems or issues?

I know someone in need of a line-in recorder but I don't know if I want to recommend qmp as it is still a beta.

it works sweet as a nut with 4.51 mate, i use it all the time.

check tropics' site for updates too i would imagine.

There's a line-in encoder with b101. Is it the same as tropics or different? I'm guessing it's different.

[Tropics]

oh no. i am sure it is different, i would know it otherwise ... i guess that means all the weeks bugfixing are thrown out of the window.

oh no. i am sure it is different, i would know it otherwise ... i guess that means all the weeks bugfixing are thrown out of the window.

not nessessarly, the new plug-in may suffer from some of the bugs yours did. Then your knowledge could be used to fix the new one.

Tropics line in plugin works as it should with b104 :biggrin:
(providing you have the lame_enc.dll or another compatible encoder)
however, the line in that comes with qmp b104 doesn't work at all
i can't "choose recording controls" and i get this 'error' message

also it says it was "last modified june 2004" in the about. :ermm:

my plugin works? nice! :biggrin:

[Todd The Kiwi]

ok man i just noticed two things going on with your plugin/qmp

1.the encoded time is always -1%
2.the time in the player window 'wobbles'
and i'm damned if i'm good enough to screen capture that :p
it does this with other skins too, not just the default.

[Tropics]

i guess that means i have to install qmp too ...

[Todd The Kiwi]

yes, yes you do :P

are you going to post test versions here or on your homepage?

[Tropics]

maybe both - not sure yet. i just installed qmp but i don't know when i will have time to look at it.

[Todd The Kiwi]

no major hurry mate, just let me know via pm when you have it ready for testing =)

[Tropics]

i don't have any problem with qmp104 ... :normal:
i used ogg encoding because i don't have the lame encoder.

[Tropics]

ok forget that it was a setup problem on my side.
i fixed the "wobble" as you call it, it was the variable markerstart not being set correctly. no idea on the % though ... what would you want to see there? nothing else than 100% would make sense there i'd say :ermm:

[Todd The Kiwi]

could you replace the ~% with the word "encoding"
maybe people new to the plugin would realise it was actually doing stuff ;)

[Tropics]

yeah that's not possible. see, i can't set the text actually, it is either set by the qmp core or by the skin, i don't know for sure.
i do only set the "end time" (i set that one to 0 currently) and the "current marker". the % is automatically derived from that info, obviously displaying -1% when the "end time" is zero.

[Todd The Kiwi]

the latest one is wobble free, sweet as.
funky text i can handle, freaky wobbles... :paranoid: ha ha
