New, SKG Jukebox now available

[skepticalgeek]

Hey guys. I notice there seem to be some issues with saving the album art, now that I put in the feature to load the music library from a file. Try re-scanning the music library after saving the album art, either through the Config screen, or by deleting the Library.xml file, and see if that helps. Something I will be addressing in the next update.

Again don't take this the wrong way but do you click on the 'Save As Album Art' button, when the correct picture shows, before you Exit?

yup...  if I go thru them one at a time it saves the cover.jpg in the correct file... I will try and delete the library.xml  file tonight and see if that works.  When I click on rescan music it doesnt look like it does anything

Spent some time with the Linux version on a touchscreen only juke and all went very well  . I have been waiting a while for a good jukebox app for Linux as I am not a developer . I would say though that the application is not completely ready for touchscreen only environments (or maybe someone could point out what I am missing). I could not find a way to pause the music being played except through the use of a keyboard space bar. I did notice that tapping the "now playing" gets a pop up for volume control.

A few suggestions for the next update :
1.  add a "play/pause" button to the "volume control" pop up (a must have to dump the keyboard requirement)
2.  add a "application exit" to the the same as above, would be an improvement for me but not a need to dump the keyboard hence just another nonpaying user being needy.

Govee,

Pause track is already available through the track list screen, but putting it on the volume control screen as well is a good idea. I'll look into it. Exit Jukebox is already available through the Options screen, which you can access by clicking "000" for the album number.

Thanks skeptical....
Moving both those functions to the play now pop up would to me simplify the ui,  but just one mans opinion.

I have some old playlists from the original SK Jukebox and was wondering if there was a way to import them? I didn't see anything in the manual and looked as though there was no button for importing a playlist on the playlist tab.

Govee,

No way to do that at the moment. If you care to e-mail me one or two of those lists, I will lookinto it.

Just a bump to ask if anyone is still tracking this thread. Looking for updated info on SKGJuke in particular linux edition.
TIA

anyone succeeded in building the source code in Qt?

I've downloaded the windows source version, compiled the 5 projects (SKG_AlbumPanel, SKG_AlbumPanelSmall, SKG_AlbumWidget, SKG_Button and SKG_RoundButton).

But after that?
I can't fnid the main projetc file?

Anyone could give me some hints or some tutorial on how to proceed?

That apps looks real cool and I,d like to see how its working under the hood and eventually make some minor modification to suit the need of my uroMAMEstyx cab ...

I'm not sure this project is still being developed - has anyone seen any updates lately?

I'd like to make some skin changes if I could.

Have you looked at http://dwjukebox.com/ ? I think this one is still being developed. I spent a couple of weeks checking out all the jukeboxes I could find and found this one to be the best for my bartop megatouchmaster project.
