Thanks

You have to install the latest .net framework :wink:

FIXED!

Well the .NET framework 1.1 did not fix it. After searching through the dll with wordpad I found borlndmm.dll. I downloaded the dll from here and put it into the windows/system folder. As far as I can tell I think this fixed it.

Thanks for your help.

Excuse my incorrect post... :cry:
You're absolutelly right!
This plugin was build on Delphi.... (no framework need)

You found the solution before I run a correction about my mistake... :shock:

Does anyone have this plugin working? I'm having some trouble getting back the results I would expect.

is there any way to make this plugin return a number when zoom player is open/playing/paused so i can use it in an action?

I want smartie to change to a theme that only shows the zoom player screen when it is open, and not show it at all when it is closed.

edit: ok sorry, this function is not needed, i have found that i could just use the string that the plugin returns as a trigger for an action. but the plugin could use a bit of work: http://www.lansley.co.uk/forum/phpBB2/v ... .php?t=337

I previously couldn't get this plugin to work but had recent success. This time when I enabled it a window popped up from zoomplayer saying a program was trying to access it and asked if I wanted to enable this functionality to which I said yes.

I'm thinking maybe in older versions or different circumstances this dialogue could be missed in which case zoompayer would need to be manually set to allow other programs to access it. I don't know where this setting would be mind you.

Are you playing a track when you do that? If your video/audio is stopped, that might happen.

yeah, it was happening even when playing a file.

It doesn't matter anymore as it turns out that i now won't be needing zoom player to play files

There is no build in integration for this player, U have to use the actions screen :(
I can't guarantee it's possible but you sould make some functions there to disable screen when the retunrn message is different that the expectable.


Also take a look here: http://www.lansley.co.uk/forum/phpBB2/v ... .php?t=193 for a great plugin may be useful for you.

Hi Kenny

The only way to do it is to use Process lister/checker plugin by erlis!
This little dll can make wonders!
Give it a try :wink:
