Text Animation Variables

Displaying Now-Playing, Date or Time Information

You can have CamTrack display the time, date or the name of the track you are currently listening to in text animations by using the following character combinations:

$<nowplaying>	Will be replaced with the name of the currently playing track.
$<time24>	Will be replaced with the local time in 24 hour format.
$<time12>	Will be replaced with the local time in 12 hour format.
$<date>	Will be replaced with the current date.

Currently, CamTrack can gather now-playing information from Winamp only. To make it work with Windows Media Player you first have to install the WMP Fun Pack plug-in which is available for download from:

Example of using the $<time12> variable with the Football Banner animation:
