Is it possible to control the cursor of a XY-graph via Keyboard and read the y value of the curser x-position?

I have following problem when I control the cursor via an attribute note, it is neccersary to free the cursor, but then it is not possible to read the y-Value of the cursor position. I want to control the cursor via keyboard and buttons, but with the funtionality of attribute setting "cursor fixed to plot".

You know the X position so just read the Y value by reading it straight from the Y array instead of from a property node...
Alternatively unlock the cursor if the position control has changed...and lock it again if it is constant for n milliseconds; to produce the Y value from the Y property.

Technical question about Creative MediaSource 3.30.21‏

Hello:
I use Creative MediaSource software to manage my Creative MP3 player. When I hook up the MP3 player using the USB cable, I can play songs in the "player" within the MediaSource organizer. How do I set it so that the songs (which reside on the MP3 player) will play on my computer speakers (not through the MP3 player)?
Im summary, when I play a song that li'ves on my computer, it plays through the computer speakers, but songs that li've on the MP3 player play on the MP3 (even though I'm controlling them via the MediaSource software). How do I play all of these songs on my computer speakers?
Thanks in advance for any help!

R.U. lazy? Why can't you try it by yourself.
Well, I tried it. But it pops out a message saying my system doesn't have the proper components (some such thing -- I'll try to get the exact message next time)...
I have an SB Audigy card properly installed with the latest drivers (and functioning without problems).
As for nvidiot's suggestion to run the setup.exe program. I believe I also tried that method and it showed up the same error message (sorry, will jot down the message next time).
However, I'm interested in this "ctcomp" utility you mentioned that can patch the setup files. How is the ctcomp used? (I recall having an experience with a pre-patched Audigy2 drivers quite some time back. It already had a prepatched ctcomp.dat or some similar thing which allowed the Audigy2 sound driver to install on Audigy sound card.)
So I surmise this method might work (assuming the Creative MediaSource relies on the same identification mechanism).
~~~~~~~~
(edited/added)
Ok, I've finally gotten this thing to install. I probably wasn't running the correct setup.exe program as mentioned above. I went to the SETUP\SETUP directory and run the SETUP.EXE there. The CMS program started to install and after a few minutes of hard disk activity, the setup program told me to restart the system, after which the Creative MediaSource program is installed. (no need for the ctcomp thing)
Thanks to all that helped me here.Message Edited by dta on 0-08-2006 03:3 AM

Trouble with Creative Mediasource

I'm using the latest driver (2.0.00) And Firmware (2.0.03), and CMS5 5.0.38, with the plugins for Zen and the PlaysForSure. My system us Windows XP, SP2, and I meet the minimum system reqs for the program.
Since "upgrading" to Creative MEdiasource 5, I've run into several problems, perhaps all interconnected.
--Mediasource takes an incredibly long time to load my Zen (40 GB Zen Xtra), upwards of 3 minutes. This took only a few seconds in previous versions. This is present when connected through my front, back and USB hub ports.
--Mediasource will rip a CD incredibly slowly. If I try to transfer more than one CD (That is, one, the procedure ends, and then start up another), I will get an error message and MEdiacsource will shut down.
--Sometimes, the window itself will disappear, and I will be unable to access it. This has happened a couple of times instead of the previous problem. The process will still run, but I will be unable to reload it, and trying to forcibly end the process (Task Manager) seems not to work. This also happens sometimes when I browse away from my Zen (Say, to a CD or file on my computer), and come back to my Zen.
I tried using my prior version, but it doesn't recognise my Playsforsure device at present, and I'm not sure if it's even possible to alter it.
Is anyone else having a similar problem? I loved Mediasource prior to this version: It was a sleek, easy and intuiti've interface and covered almost all of my Organisation needs. I did check the boards, but I may have missed a similar problem. I'm wondering if this is an issue that people have a solution to.
Any help's appreciated.

Hello:
I have formatted the player using the recovery menu as well as with WMP, because both are the recommended and "only" ways to format, depending on who you listen to. No difference, however in the way WMP behaves. When I get to the point where WMP can only sync a small few files, if I do a Cleanup (from rescue mode), let the Nomad rebuild the library, I can usually get more files in before it clogs up again. Every time I do a fresh format, I lose a couple of days worth of work, so I'm not doing it again.
I don't have any way to control how much of the library to synchronize once it has gotten past my playlists, unless I spend time creating more playlists for this purpose. With a 60 G Nomad, and a library suitable for that storage, that's a TON of music to deal with.
I'm still trying to figure out whether this is a Windows Media Player issue, a driver issue, or a Nomad firmware issue. Since I have to reset the Nomad between each sync attempt, and occasionally do a cleanup, I'm guessing it's the Nomad, and since I've seen it on more than one unit, I'm guessing it's a firmware bug.
I'm hoping someone else has seen this issue and has a better idea. I hate all my choices: Notmad is frustrating because I can't get my playlists to come across. Creative Media Source is less reliable than WMP, so that leaves WMP as the least aggravating way to sync, and it works flawlessly with my smaller sized Sansa Clip from the same library.

Creative MediaSource will not play certain MP3

I have a Creative Audigy 2 NX with a remote that I really want to be able to use. Programs such as GIRDER, WinLIRC, and uICE do not support the RM-500 remote control.
I can't figure out how to control the remote beyond editing and creating key files that send ASCII commands, but the problem with that is I cannot control programs that are not currently acti've. In other words, I cannot control winamp if I'm playing a game with my remote, which is what I want to do. The KEY files are structured as this:[KeyEvent690 etc]KeyName=whateveryouwantdisplayedNotification=- or 2 or 4KeyEventRemap=this is the important partHandleByApp=i don't know what this doesAnyway, if I set notification to -, I can send ASCII commands-- BUT these will not send to programs not currently on top. If I set notification to 2, as Creative did in their Winamp .x key file, I could control the program even if it is not on top-- BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE KeyEventRemaps NUMBERS SHOULD BE. I cannot find this information, and I have tested as far as I am capable of doing manually (tested numbers through 500 MANUALLY).So what I want to be able to do is use my remote to control winamp, but that is impossible. And Creative MediaSource will not play streaming audio (for God knows why...). So what I decided to do was record to an MP3 player with a third party program and play that MP3 in the Creative MediaSource software (the built-in recorder will NOT work, as I cannot structure that into a playlist nor can I play the recording media nor can I minimize the program and mute the feedback-- I can only record if I'm playing, and this doesn't work). The first problem I encountered was several programs would not output MP3s that were playable as they were being recorded, however I finally did find one. This program, 3aLab iRadio, allows the MP3 to be played back WHILE simultaneously being recorded. The only problem is that this the Creative MediaSource software will NOT play the mp3. Out of the 5 different MP3 players I tested, ONLY the Creative MediaSource software would not playback the MP3 as being written. I cannot figure this out, and I am at a loss as to what to do next. I realize that Creative won't support streaming audio with their player, MediaSource, but what I like to do is listen to streaming internet radio as an item on my mp3 playlist in winamp. I wish to be able to control this with my remote, but as I cannot find ANY WAY out there to control my remote as I wish without further information, this is a dead end. My alternati've is to use the Creative software for which the remote was designed to work, but unfortunately this does not support streaming internet radio nor does it support MP3s that are being written to. This is driving me insane.
What I want to be able to do is have a playlist that I control with my remote, with the first item on the list being internet radio, the 2nd and such on down being MP3s. In winamp, this is doable, as well as in Windows Media Player, and most MP3 players out there. Since I cannot do this in Creative's software, I need a workaround alternati've. PLEASE.
So, in conclusion, is there anyone out there who can either tell me how to control my remote directly by identifying what the notification=2 keyeventremap=configuarions are, give me a program like girder however which supports the RM-500 remote, or tell me how to get MP3s that are being written to (aka incomplete) to play in the Creative MediaSource software?
Thank you very much for your time.

Creative mediasource player - track order prob

I imported a lot of?albums I downloaded from Napster on to the creative mediasource player on my pc. when i try to play albums via this player on my pc the tracks are all out of order (eg track3, track , track2 etc) and I cannot work out how to get them in the right order. i have just looked at a few albums and just realised that it is sorting the tracks in alphabetical order of the track names, not track number. anybody got any ideas how to get it in track order?thanks

Just click on the column header to sort by Track Number. Creative MediaSource will play in the order that you see.

I installed MS5 using auto update but it did not uninstall the old media source. After the install of MS5 I was having a conflict with another program that is in my startup folder causing it to not start. So I uninstalled media source 3 thru add and remove programs in control panel and it seems to have fixed the conflict with the program in the startup folder. Media Source 5 works fine but when I check the Creative website for updates it wants me to install all the Media Source 3 programs. Is this necessary or a glitch at Creative?
It seems that MediaSource 3 and MediaSource 5 are designed to coexist with each other. I believe that MediaSource 3 may still be needed for some (old) products. That may be the reason why installing MediaSource 5 does not automatically uninstall MediaSource 3.

Creative Mediasource Player quest

Does Creative Mediasource 2 (v2.02.06) for Audigy 2ZS support international characters? Or is there a way to make it support them?
I have some greek songs in my Music Library and Mediasource does't recognize them, it simply writes ? instead of the filename. WMP 0 recognizes both filenames and TAGs written in greek.

<FONT face="Tms Rmn">
I shall describe the steps for English WinXP. It should not be difficult to find the equivalence if your WinXP is non-English.
Go to Control Panel. Select "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options". Select "Regional and Language Options". Select the Advanced setting page. Under "Language for non-Unicode programs", select the desired language. (In your case, it is Greek.)

Creative Mediasource opens a strange win

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l2...angeWindow.jpg?When I open Creative Mediasource it does a strange thing and opens the window shown in the clipped screenshot of my desktop. Stranger still, the window has no handles, and will not respond to normal windows keyboard shortcut?(Alt + SpaceBar)?that would normally allow you to access the restore/minimise/maximise menu option. I am stuck with this window. I know for a fact that it is a window, because it behaves as a window in every other way. I can drag it around my desktop, in other words. Also, it reacts to the transparency settings given by my Graphics Card. Does anyone else share this problem, and would anyone be able to help troubleshoot this problem? I have used Creative Mediasource for?almost a year now, and I have finally decided to whip this little puppy into shape.

If your MediaSource is older than v3.30.2, then?download and install MediaSource v3.30.2 from your product download site.

Can anyone help me with downloading Creative MediaSource in Windows Vis

I've tried over and over to download Creative MediaSource through the Windows Vista application section for the Zen Touch. It continuosly gives me this error during file extracting. Can anyone help me with this?!

Hi
I have checked to see if there are any Windows 8-8.1 drivers available for your model machine from HP and sadly none are listed , Also even if it had been possible to get driver support for the upgrade you would have still had to pay Microsoft for the upgrade via Retail disk package or an online ISO download .

Creative Mediasource can't play Chinese so

Recently I reformatted my computer and had to reinstall Creative Mediasource.However, now it cannot play any songs with Chinese characters in their names. src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/o246/yunyikaren/creativemediasourceprob.jpg">The Chinese characters in the song titles cannot be viewed and are simply replaced by question marks (E.g. "?The Kila" is shown as "? The Killa" instead) and when I click on it to play, there is?a black X beside the song and it cannot be played. Only the songs with no chinese characters can be played (E.g. 06 K-O). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Creative Mediasource fi've times but the same problem still arises.Could anyone help me with this?Thanks! Message Edited by hyperjjfan on 0-22-200706:3 PM

previous version of mediasource doesn't support unicode so you need to go to control panel and setup your computer language to support chinese for non-unicode program.
if not, just go and download mediasource 5 from creative website as that support unicode and should display chinese properly.

Creative mediasource installation problem --windows er

every time i try to install mediasource, a windows fatal error appear and the computer automatically restarts. i have a jukebox 3 40gb plugged in to my cpu, run windows xp, and have installed the newest driver for my jukebox. Can someone please help? thanks a lot.

I cannot get Media Source Player to work at all. I always receive an error message called:
"Creative MediaSource Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Also, there is an error report that I am asked to send, but I myself can't understand it. Also, I cannot uninstall "MediaSource" from the "Add or Remove" prgram in 'control panel'. I can't install it or uninstall it. What the hell can I do?

Creative mediasource organizer questi

I am trying to edit the track information for all of the songs on my creative zen vision:M, but i cannot figure out how to simply view all of my tracks on the organizer program. It only prompts some of the artists/albums. How can i view a list of all the audio tracks without having to go through folders of artists/albums? The program is creative mediasource 5 organizer. In addition, the audio tracks will not play through the program when i click play, how can i fix that problem?

First off, I will say I went & tried! & everything works fine on my end!
I am now in the "Creative MediaSource V3.30.35" Program, with my Zen Vision M into a Windows XP Profesional PC, connected with a USB cable! (logged in as Administrator)
The ZEN LCD is with the "Docked" displayed!
In the MediaSource Program, I see 3 "main" windows, two on the left stacked, and one on the right! (if I have the "Hide right panel selected, in the "View" tab!
The top Left window is to select what you want the MediaSource Program, to play/edit..
Find the "Creative Vision M" folder!
then select "Music"
Then the folder of your choice (I have mine in alphabetical order, to reduce my folder sizes, so they load faster)
wait for it to load that folder to the "right window"
once you see your MP3?s double click on one, and it will open into the "Bottom Left Window" now press the "Play button"
To edit the "Tag" info, in the "right window" you can select more than one track at a time by holding the "Shift" or the "Control" key. Once selected, right click with the mouse cursor over your selection, and a drop down list will appear, asking what you want to edit!
Hope this helps?
