How to reproduce video

[Skynet]

I created a skin for WMP.
When a video is playng in extended view, when toggling to skin view i see
audio visual effects and not the video. If i instead start to play a video
in skin view, it is correctly shown. What i must write in the script file to
let the skin understand that a video is played and show it instead the
visual effects?
Sorry for the bad english.
Thanks

Sounds like you're only checking for video on file switch/open events, as
opposed to when the skin first starts/opens.

Yes, Zach is right - you need to check what sort of media is playing then
switch your views on/off accordingly.

You can check the type of media by using some code you call when the player
openState changes:

if (player.currentmedia != null) {

if (player.currentmedia.getiteminfo "mediatype") == "video") {
[code to display video view]
} else {
[code to display visualisation view]
}

}

That's it!
Hope that helps.

Cheers
