Two questions about CEN-NSP-1 #simplwindows #crestron #smartgraphics

 

Hello all,
? ? I have a CEN-NSP-1 which displays on a Crestron Touch Panel. Everything is working fine but I have two questions:

1) The next song appears on the panel with no issue, for example, The Second Song. How do I change the text on the panel to display the word "Next:" (including the colon) before the next (pun intended) song, so the new text would be Next: The Second Song?
2) Let's add if the album playing has 10 songs and the 10th song is playing, I don't want the panel to display the word "Next:", how would I do this?

Thanks in advance, dsmith

Assuming that the next song a serial join and that it¡¯s blank when there is no next song, there are two ways to deal with this.

?

  1. On the text object that has the indirect text for the next song add Next: before the CIP tag and put a visibility join on the object. In SIMPL Windows use a SLEN and a ACOMP2. If the SLEN is > 0 (or 1 or 2¡­ if you want to trap garbage characters) use the > output on the ACOMP2 output to drive the visibility join.
  2. In SIMPL+ use a string input and a string output, on the CHANGE event for the string input
    1. IF (LEN(input$) > 0) MAKESTRING(output$, ¡°Next: %s¡±, input$); ELSE output$ = ¡°¡±;

A little more information for everyone:

1) I am using the Media Player Smart Graphics application in VT Pro and I have the Smart Object set at 3.?
2) The serial input that shows the next song to be played is labeled NSP_NextTitle_F$
3) I am a newbie when it comes to programming Crestron (I did figure out some things, thanks to Youtube videos)
4) When I made the SIMPL+ module, I declared a string input (using the NSP_NextTitle_F$ name) and a string output (New_NSP_NextTitle_F$) and I received a compiler error of 1002.

Any thoughts?
? ? Thanks, dsmithp233
 

More information..part 2:

I was able to fix the compiler error in Simpl+ but I also noticed that in the transport controls for CEN-NSP-1, the?NextTitle_F$ is a serial output with no serial input.
But in VT Pro, the Media Player application shows "Next: Song Title", so this makes me think that I can change the text.

Any suggestions? Thanks.
