Hi,

Firstly I'd like to say a big thanks for creating LCDTool - a real missing link!

I've got a couple of niggles with it which I thought I'd mention to see if anyone else has the same, or knows how to get around them.

My mac mini will not enter sleep when LCDTool is running. I can manually make it sleep, but it will not do it automatically. If I stop LCDTool and iTunesHelper then it will auto sleep. I have to stop both processes to make it sleep.

The second thing is that if I quit iTunes, it immediately starts again. I have to quit LCDTool first, then iTunes, and iTunes will then not auto restart.

As I said, not a complaint at all, just a couple of niggles.

Ian

That's normal function, the default script polls iTunes every second, keeping iTunes active and your mac awake. the following script will allow you to pause LCDTool by pressing the 3 button.

Alternatively... (shameless plug) you could try my MultiScreen script and just switch from the iTunes screen Smile

Safari 3.0 (see additional for 2.0)
Code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
   var timer;
   var offMessage = "LCDTool paused, press 2 to restart."; 
   function setText(id, value) {$(id).innerHTML = value}
   function formatTime(sec) {var ss = Math.floor(sec % 60); ss = ss < 10 ? '0' + ss : ss; return Math.floor(sec/60) + ':' + ss}

function update() {
      var itunesStatus = application.runSystemScript('iTunesCurrentTrackFullStatus');
      itunesStatus = '(' + itunesStatus + ')';
      var itunes = eval(itunesStatus);
      setText('pos', formatTime(itunes['position']));
      setText('duration', formatTime(itunes['duration']));
      setText('artist', itunes['artist']);
      setText('name', itunes['name']);
      setText('album', itunes['album']);
       
      $('diamond').style.left = Math.floor(90 / itunes['duration'] * itunes['position']) + 'px';
      if(!application.updateDisplay()) stop();
 }

   function handleButton(button, upDown) {
      if (upDown == "down") return;
      if (button == "Softkey1") window.application.runUserScript('iTunesActivate');
      if (button == "Softkey2") start();
      if (button == "Softkey3") {
      setText('overlay', offMessage);
      $('overlay').style.display = 'block';
      setTimeout("stop();", 2000);
      }
      if (button == "Softkey4") window.application.runSystemScript('visitEntropyWebsite');
      if (button == "Display") showOverlay();
   }

   function showOverlay() {
      var data = window.application.runUserScript('doShellScript');
      setText('overlay', data);
      $('overlay').style.display = 'block';
      setTimeout("$('overlay').style.display = 'none';", 4000);
   }

   function init() {
      window.application.registerUserScript('iTunesActivate', 'tell application "iTunes" to activate');
      window.application.registerUserScript('doShellScript', 'do shell script "uptime"');
      start();
   }
   
   function start() {
      timer = setInterval("update()", 1000);
   $('overlay').style.display = 'none';
   }
   
   function stop() {
      clearInterval(timer);
   }
</script>
<style type="text/css">
   #top {overflow: hidden; height: 13px; margin-left: 1px;}
   #time {width: 156px;}
   #progress {width: 90px; height: 7px; border: 1px solid black; position: relative; overflow: hidden;}
   #diamond {position: absolute; z-index: -1; margin-left: -3px;}
   #overlay {position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; background-color: white; width: 160; height: 43; padding: 2px; display: none;}
</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/default.css" />
</head>

<body class="border" onload="init();">
<div id="top"><span id="artist"></span></div>
<marquee scrolldelay="1000" scrollamount="20"><span id="name"></span> - <span id="album"></span></marquee>
<table id="time"><tr><td id="pos"></td><td><div id="progress"><img id="diamond" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhBwAHAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAAAAAAALAAAAAAHAAcAAAIMhGMZq8sOAUSHJZkKADs=" /></div></td><td id="duration"></td></tr></table>
<div id="overlay"></div>
</body>
</html>


Safari 2.0 replace update with:
Code:
   function update() {
      var itunes = eval(window.application.runSystemScript('iTunesCurrentTrackFullStatus').replace(/'\\''/g, "\\'"));
      setText('pos', formatTime(itunes['position']));
      setText('duration', formatTime(itunes['duration']));
      setText('artist', itunes['artist']);
      setText('name', itunes['name']);
      setText('album', itunes['album']);

      $('diamond').style.left = Math.floor(90 / itunes['duration'] * itunes['position']) + 'px';
        if(!window.application.updateDisplay()) stop();
   }
