Return to previous screen after plugin action

Post by whoremoan »

is there any way after a plugin function has been performed on the action screen to return to the screen that was last running before the plugin action was performed?

To give you an example. I have set my LCD to display various bits and pieces that are constantly changing, unless I am playing a song or video using J River Media centre, in which case (using the J River plugin) I am displaying the track, artist, etc. This all works fine...

...But I am also using a volume plugin to display in real-time the volume level if changed. This works OK in normal operation, but if I use it when J River media center is running, instead of going back to the artist, track info it will start displaying my normal display items.

Any sugestions on how to get round this?

I think themes can help you to achieve this...
Check the guide contained in this package: http://eserver.gr/limboonline/plugins/vuplayer.zip

I have similar problem to user "whoremoan", but I need something else.

Can someone tell me, how configure LCDsmartie, to return to previous screen after plugin action ?

For example:

(winamp ON) = winamp screen. When turning volume up/down -> jump to "show volume" screen, then back to winamp screen.

(WMP ON) - WMP screen, jump to "show volume", back to WMP screen.

(radio app) - same, but jump to "radio app" screen
etc.

Is there in LCDSmartie command like GotoLastUsedScreen ?

There is no option to go to last used screen.
You can set actions using process lister/checker and active plugins... but its a matter of trial and error...
