Jukebox in background?

<< < (6/6)

Zakk:
Hmm, let's see....why yes it is!  This might be a good thng.  I think what he wanted was to be able to go into, say, arcade jukebox8, pick the songs he wanted to hear, then exit and go play games.  I doubt he'll want to bother actually making up playlists, so this way he clicks on one mp3 in mamewah (emulator is "jukebox in background"), and it just starts playing random songs.  So it mught be reading the m3u file, and just running with it.  I removed the step where it deletes the playlist.  I really assume he'll get tired of it, since some games have lower volume, and the tunes can drown it right out.  He'll want a separate volume knob for the songs and the games.  Still, it's a good solution all 'round :)  Thanks!

SuperRabbit0:

I know you've finished your solution but wanted to add a thought if you decided to pursue separate volume, etc.

Wouldn't girder be a good application to allow buttons on the box to control background applications (like Winamp volume settings)?  If I understand its purpose correctly, it should be able to do what you need by adding some controls for volume, skip track, etc...

Of course, I have no idea what I am talking about it.  I've been too scared to try to get girder going on my HTPC for about a year now   :-)
