Pause/Play/Stop Buttons mig

Changes the single Play button in Songbird to separate Play/Pause/Stop buttons


Pause/Play/Stop Buttons



Description

Version 0.0.1 might look a little funny until you guys get a nightly with the skin changes required for this to look tolerable.


Version 0.0.2 just won’t show up until you do. That’s probably safer.


Version 0.0.3 also adds some text to the Artist/Title/Album display and is good example code for how to overlay into arbitrary elements for all possible Songbird layouts. Notice that the extra Artist/Title/Album strings also appear in the miniplayer, though they’re only defined in a single overlay. Neat!


Version 0.0.4 adds the extra buttons to the miniplayer as well.


Version 0.0.5 cleans up the install.rdf somewhat.


Version 0.0.6 oops.


Version 0.0.7 double oh oops?


Version 0.0.8 following changes to id values made in playerControls.xml, not compatible until the 2007.08.01 Nightly Build is posted.


Version 0.0.9 includes more overlay points and sample pieces so I can use it as the example code for the “HOWTO: Build a 0.3 extension” document. The code to support these changes will be available in the 2007.08.10 Nightly, but the basic button-adding functionality still works fine since 2007.08.01. FYI: the Artist/Title/Album strings have been hidden but not removed. If you really liked them, you can re-enable them by editing the overlayMain.xul file in the extension’s installation folder in your profile.


Version 0.0.10 includes overlays for the Songbird menubar and browser toolbar.


Version 0.0.11 gives the toolbar button some art and makes it pop the JumpTo dialog. That’s useful, right?


Version 0.0.12 updates the Songbird version to 0.5pre and changes the CSS to use the registered jumpto graphic for the current skin rather than a canned png.


Version 0.0.13 updates the Songbird version to 0.6pre and changes some of the box overlays to no longer leave big empty spaces (see Bug #6561)

Yay, I made another extension. This one I actually wrote with my own fingers.

Ah, tomorrow's Nightly (2007.07.26) should have the proper updates to enable this extension. See this bug: http://bugzilla.songbirdnest.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3736

Now any nightly from 2007.08.01 is required to properly view the buttons.

I think it a cool addon…
It has gone wrong tho when you decided it should as well be a "howto"-extension. Adding jumpto function to this addon is bad. People must have an option to install only one part and not get free extras they don’t want (which was the whole idea of starting with addons)

Thanks a lot for updating this. I tried Songbird before and after on 0.3 and 0.4. IMHO this is a must have. I especially like seeing pause, and stop in mini player feather.

I love this one.
But I have a suggestion, can the volume bar be placed at the right of the window?
In order to get the display in the centre.
Would be nice.
Thanks anyway!!!

I installed this on 0.5 on windows, and it had no effect.

Aha, it turns out to have been a bad interaction with the “System tray support” add-on. Disabling that makes this work.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for this add on. Is it ever going to work again? How can I find the extension in the profile? It doesn’t appear to work since 0.5. Win XP.

It would be great if this worked with LiveTweeter when you clicked stop. I can't seem to get the stop button icon either.... I have to right click the play button and click stop. Any suggestions?

Can something be added to the context menu for the minimize to tray icon to add stop to it as well?

Adds a little functionality, which is nice. Just had to find button-stop.png in my feather so I could get this to match my theme. Luckily I realized I could just copy the pause button from button-play-pause.png and fill in the middle of the button in a graphics editor. Thanks for the add-on.

Any idea if this will be (or can be) updated for Songbird 1.1 Beta 1? I really miss this extension.

Songbird 1.1 is live and official. Any idea if this extension will be made compatible?

I managed to install it in 1.1.1 after manually editing the install.rdf file inside the xpi file (which really is a renamed zip file). If you trust me (you shouldn't :P), you can download my hacked version at http://firetech.nu/files/songbird-pauseplaystop-0.1.0+111fix.xpi

For me, it only adds a stop button, the pause and play buttons are still merged (I have no idea why, it might be an API change).

If you want to download a version I updated for 1.2.0 download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oejqzndwnad
This works with 1.2.0 but will not work with future versions without further editing.

If you want to do it yourself here are directions for Songbird 1.2.0 (and probably future versions):
1. Download the xpi file to your computer from here: http://addons.songbirdnest.com/xpis/2860?source=download
2. Open the xpi file (it's like a zip file and can be opened with WinRAR - http://rarlabs.com/download.htm, or another archive program)
3. Inside you will see a couple folders and a couple files. Open "install.rdf" with a text editor (like notepad)
4. This is an xml file. Look for the line that says "<em:maxversion>1.1.0pre</em:maxversion>". Change "1.1.0pre" to "1.2.0" and Save and close "install.rdf".
5. You will probably be prompted to update the xpi file at some point. Choose to update the file. If you are not prompted, you may need to save "install.rdf" to a different location and then place the edited version into the xpi file overwriting the original.
6. In Songbird, click Tools > Add-ons. Then click the Install button and select the xpi file that you changed and click Install. The next time you restart Songbird, the add-on will be working.

This will often work with other neglected add-ons for Songbird (and Firefox) as long as you pay attention to the version of the software (step 4).

Thanks, stingray. Worked for 1.0.5a

Why a stop button is not default for Songbird borders on ludicrous.

Could you please parameterize the cropping and spacing (margin) values used? Being able to specify those would make this extension work beautifully for almost any arbitrary theme (so long as the middle button's style is symmetric).
