I have been looking for a new JB program for my cabinet...
Very nice design and feature set so far!  :applaud:
PM sent with links to bbee383 to see if he can get it working and also what OS he's suing.

uroJUKEstyx : alpha 1.03 release
« Reply #124 on: December 20, 2012, 09:18:29 pm »
eogsbar, you're using win7 or win8 I suppose?
I think (hope) I mixed up the dll included fot the win7 version.

I'm sending you guy a new build with the correct inclusion.

To install it:
1. download the zip archive
2. extract it to wherever you want (use extract here, since there's already a folder in the archive)
3. run uroJUKEstyx.exe
4. hit the 'O' key to get in the option, or click the "OSK function" (rectangle logo), then OPTION button (small gear) to configure

To uninstall it, simply erase the folder. Everything run from that folder and nothing gets install elsewhere.

As soon as I get some stability, I'll post the download links in this thread for others interested.

Jay  :cheers:

Pfiou! great news. I'm happy to see that I got that win7 thing out of my way.  :applaud:

If you can:
1. set the option to debug the musiclib
2. restart the program
3. exit the program

Then, send me these files (in the folder uroFILES)
- uroJUKEstyx.ini
- uroMUSICLIB.lib
- uroDEBUG.txt
by email or as attachments in this thread and I'll be able to run it on my side in debug mode to see what's wrong.

If you can, send me also, one of the problematic cover with the path of that particular album.
That way, I'll be able to see what's wrong.

BTW, is the cover left blank or you get the default NoCover images?
if its blank, then it's because the program couldn't render the file.
if you get the NoCover image, then it's because it couldn't find the cover.
In any case, I'll be able to troubleshoot if you send me the info above.

Good Night!
Jay  :cheers:

looking at the que list where you can move songs up and down
when you open it the highlite is on the top song , if you click on a song in the middle the move up isnt available until you move the song down one spot first

also as song lists get longer a move to top option is a must

the clear song and clear list works fine except if you hit the clear song with an empty list the juke crashes

got to say mate great initial effort , im really impressed with the speed of scrolling and loading , im only testing 14 albums but ill really put it through its paces in the next few days with 3500 or so

found adjusting song and album titles a little confusing but got it in the end

id suggest making the que list title an actual button that takes you straight to the que list page for manipulating lists

ability to start the program in maximised view

All fixed. When you say maximized view, you mean in a window, but maximized right? I modified it so that you either start in full view (no window) or in maximize view (in a window, but that fits the screen).  Before it was full screen or normal depending on the "display in a window" options.

Okay It's now up and running on Windows 8.

This one worked for me: MINGW4.8.1%29.zip

Plays music and displays albums.  :applaud:

Speed of the scroll is excellent.

I have to agree with egosbar about starting program maximised or perhaps it can remember how it was when it closed and open up exactly the same size.

I might be missing the option but is there an option to not display any track numbers?

One of the things I prefer about uroJUKEstyx is how much wider the song queue list is, is it possible to display the artist and song name there?

Makes so much difference now it plays music and diplays album covers, well done Jay.  :cheers:

Cool! So since 4.8.1 works, I won't have to 2 versions for win7.

I have to agree with egosbar about starting program maximised or perhaps it can remember how it was when it closed and open up exactly the same size.
alpha 1.04 (in progress) is modified to start either in maximized window or full view. This should be all right, right?

BTW, alpha 1.03 already has the option to start in normal mode (a window 800x600) or in full view (no window, but full screen).
By default it starts in a window. To change it, go in option->display tab-> uncheck "display in a window."

I might be missing the option but is there an option to not display any track numbers?
One of the things I prefer about uroJUKEstyx is how much wider the song queue list is, is it possible to display the artist and song name there?

yes and yes and yes, a juke that indeed plays music is better than one that don't.
Go in option -> display tab
select song display.

There, you'll have the option to change how song are displayed for the following:
- now1, no2, now3 are the 3 lines displayed for the now playing song
- queue defines how the song are displayed in the queue list
- album defines how "regular" album's song are displayed
- playlist defines how "playlist" album's song are displayed.

So for your album, you could set it to
- title for first box,
- unused for the second (that's the first separator). This will desactivate all other boxes of the line

And for your queue, use:
- artist for the first box
- whatever separator you wnt for the seconf box
- song title for the second box.

see attachment for example of the option panel and the results on the juke.

The help should have this info also. All options should be descried there.

Have fun
Jay  :cheers:

Thanks for implimenting the F1-F4 keys for selecting the corresponding album to full size. Are you able to make it so the first song is automatically highlighted of the album so I can go straight into scrolling with the up/down keys, select a song and remain highlighted so I can continue to scroll the album?

Hey Jay, I see you already have implimented this feature now.

Unfortunately if you are in full album size view and start scrolling left and or right the feature of highlighting the first song disappears.

Also when the queue list is full (six songs already in the queue) there is no way to know whether the song has been added to the queue unless you call up the queue afterwards to check.

I think we need some sort of recognition that the song has been added to the queue, maybe a quick on screen display like "AC/DC - Back in Black added to queue", also maybe where it says "Queue List:" it could say how many songs currently in queue.

I keep playing around.  ;)

Who knew that so much work went into making a jukebox programme. Really interesting to watch a work in progress, even though most of it goes right over my head  :embarassed:

Keep up the good work.  :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

It's already on the todo list as mentionned in post 131 for which I had a question, to which you just answered
---------------------------------------------------------
Bugs and Issues (alpha 1.04) (in progress)
---------------------------------------------------------
...
- RetroBorg 20121220:
     Scrolling left/right, jump previous/next: automatically select first song like for album select via keyboard.
  In Progress 20121221:
     select first song after jump to selected item
     select first song after jump from find panel
     select selected song after jump from find pannel
     select first song after jump previous/next letter
     select first song after scroll left/right (should we select the song in this case?)

So it is now:
- RetroBorg 20121220:
     Scrolling left/right, jump previous/next: automatically select first song like for album select via keyboard.
  In Progress 20121221:
     select first song after jump to selected item
     select first song after jump from find panel
     select selected song after jump from find pannel
     select first song after jump previous/next letter
     select first song after scroll left/right in album view
 
But when in page view, the song won't be selected when scrolling. That' s ok?

Also when the queue list is full (six songs already in the queue) there is no way to know whether the song has been added to the queue unless you call up the queue afterwards to check.

I think we need some sort of recognition that the song has been added to the queue, maybe a quick on screen display like "AC/DC - Back in Black added to queue", also maybe where it says "Queue List:" it could say how many songs currently in queue.
Yeah, I was aware of that issue and didn't like it either, I added it to my todo list for alpha 1.04.
The problem is it that the song/album added message is sent for display, but when the option :
   display->album display->stay in album view after song selection
is enabled, I reselect the album to update the OSK numbers album value, which also sent a message to display the current album value which overwrite the first one.
I'll fix this for alpha 1.04 too. I also want to display the number of song in the queue, so I'll do this at the same time since you mentionned it  ;)

BTW, with alpha 1.03, instead of opening the queue (view queue), you can simply scroll the queue list like you can do with albums. To do this, simply unselect the album.
There're 3 mode of selection:
- song selected : a song is highlighted, and the album is selected (the back button is highlighted (blux X button)), and the queue message displays the album+song. The scroll will change the selected song.
- album selected : no song is highlighted, but the album is selected (back button is visible). the queue message displays only the album.
   the scroll will simply scroll the song list of the album selected
- queue list selected : no album is selected (no blue x is visible). The queue message show "Queue List". The scroll keys will scroll the queue list

Not sure when I'll get some time to release it though since it's christmas time and my three little boys (1,3,5) keep me busy and my wifr gives me THE LOOK everytime I even think of looking at the laptop  :laugh2:

Thanks you very much for the feedback RetroBorg!

I just tried it and refuse to send a file with the lib extension.
So jus remove the extension and send it as "uroMUSICLIB"
it should pass. (it passes on my side using gmail which gave me the same arror as you when I left the original extension)

Maybe the search pattern are a bit too strict.
With your "renamed" lib file, I should be able to make it a bit more flexible to match the naming style.

Got them, but you forgot to turn on the debug options:

# --------------------------------------------------
# Debug
# --------------------------------------------------
DebugDynamicObjects = 0
DebugMusicLibrary = 0
DebugAudioEngine = 0
DebugOskNumber = 0
DebugToScreen = 0
DebugOsk = 0


1. start the program
2. go in options -> debug and turn on debug musiclib and audio engine
3. close the program
4. start the program again
5. close again

You'll have to start/close twice, because the first scanning og lib will occur wil the debug switch is off...

Then send the file agina please.

Have to go now, dinner is ready : salmon and rice. hmmmm....

Got the files.

The problem is that your library is using different namestyle.

ex:
/Colin Hay/Are You Lookin' at Me/01 Are You Lookin' at Me.mp3
which uses these namestyles:
album: <ARTIST> <SLASH> <ALBUMTITLE>
song: <SONGTRACK> <SPACE> <TITLE>

/Colin Hay/Are You Lookin' at Me 111/I Wish I Was Still Drinking.mp3
album: <ARTIST> <SLASH> <ALBUMTITLE> (with a suffix 111)
song: <TITLE>

/David Guetta/Nothing But The Beat/1.mp3
album: <ARTIST> <SLASH> <ALBUMTITLE>
song: <TRACK>

/Matchbox 20/North/04 - Put Your Hands Up.mp3
album: <ARTIST> <SLASH> <ALBUMTITLE>
song: <TRACK> <DASH> <TITLE>

and so on.....
There nothing much I can do to find the right metadata based on namestyle.

So until ID3 support is added (which is planned after layouts) you can do 2 things:

1. change the song namestyle to <TITLE> <UNUSED> ... that way you'll get the file name as the song title
2. rename your file using a tool like "ID3 tag it". It can rename your file (recursively) using a namestyle that you specify (ex: <K> - <T> would be the track number, a dash, then the title). Before applying the changes, the sw show you a preview of the rename file (if I remember correctly)

So i guess that you used ID3 tags for touchjam and skjukebox ...

Not sure when I'll get some time to release it though since it's christmas time and my three little boys (1,3,5) keep me busy and my wifr gives me THE LOOK everytime I even think of looking at the laptop  :laugh2:

Yeah I won't be able to play around with this much over Christmas either, going camping Christmas Day and I'm not back till New Years Eve.

I'm feeling really confident that uroJUKEstyx is going to do everything I need, looking real good.  :applaud:

it has to use the same song naming style than the other

so if you're using
   <SONG_TRACK> <DASH> <SONG_TITLE>
use "-" (a dash (minus) (-) separator)

if you're using
   <SONG_TRACK> <DOT> <SONG_TITLE>
use "-" (a dot (period) (.) separator)

With namestyle, the programme look for that specific caracter in the string to determine what are the different part of the file name.
If it work and are willing to rename your full linrary. you could use like I said an utility to do it automatically for you using the existing metadata. In this case, you just tell that utility of to rename your file, which could be for example
   <K> - <T> (and enable the sub directories recursivity)
if you use ID3Tagit (I mention that one, because it's the only one I used so far and was free. But any ID3 renaming utility would do the same job)

yeah not really keen to retag  my library even using tagging programs ,i use media monkey its pretty good and free as well , when renaming large libraries there is always work to do lol.

ill wait for you to have it pick up id tags , touchjams has my entire library pretty well covered , every now and then i might find a album that needs a bit of re tagging but not too often these days

ill give it a work out on a large library over xmas and see if any bugs are occuring , wont worry about the naming just the performance

Haha, UI understand, I went through that process a few years ago, and it was time consuming, even with those renaming program, but since the library building with ID3 tags performances were so bad, I dit it and now it's done!

The nex major steps are:
- layout and vosializations
after that it will be ID3

So you'll have to ba patient  ;)

For now, simply set your song naming style to only <songTitle>. At least, you'll have the filename as the song title

uroJUKEstyx : alpha 1.04 (in progress)
« Reply #154 on: December 24, 2012, 09:50:57 am »
Almost ready to release alpha 1.04 to alpha team.
In it, most issues found so far will ba adressed.

I just have to add a check before calling the jump panel to make sure there're some albums, because right now, it doesn't which causes a fatal error when that happens and also finish the song selection stuff when using the different navigation method (jump, scroll, etc...)

Here's the list I have on my side. If I'm missing something, let me know.

---------------------------------------------------------
Bugs and Issues (alpha 1.04) (in progress)
---------------------------------------------------------
- RetroBorg 20121220:
     Display tool tips + enable in config
  Done 20121221:
     Tool tips Option - Display - Display Tool Tips added

- egosbar 20121221:
      View Queue Top/Bottom/scrollUp/ScrollDown buttons
  Done 20121221:
      4 button added and connected

- egosbar 20121221:
      queue button instead of queue label to call view queue
  Done 20121221:
      user can now click on queue label to view queue

- egosbar 20121221:
     View Queue click on song doesn't update up/dn button (enable)
  Done 20121221:
     add current row changed detection

- egosbar 20121221:
      ability to start in full screen
  Done 20121221:
      Old behavior is modified from : Normal or FullScreen depending on "run in a window" parameter
      to: Maximized or FullScreen

- superbigjay 20121221:
     Add application icon for desktop
  Done 20121221
     Icon added and is now visible in windows explorer.

- RetroBorg 20121220:
     jump should load with current position highlighted allowing user to simply scroll up/dn.
     Also, typing should update the selected row.
     For touch screen user: up down button
  Done 20121221:
     update row selection when form is created
     update row selection while typing
     detect scroll up/dn and update text
     Add up/dn/top/bottom buttons

- RetroBorg 20121222:
     Also when the queue list is full (six songs already in the queue)
     there is no way to know whether the song has been added to the queue
     unless you call up the queue afterwards to check.
     I think we need some sort of recognition that the song has been added to
     the queue, maybe a quick on screen display like "AC/DC - Back in Black added to queue",
  Done 20121223
     Queue messages modified to diaplay information even in album view

- RetroBorg 20121222:
     also maybe where it says "Queue List:" it could say how many songs currently in queue.
  Done 20121223:
     Added number of songs in square brackets before the message
 
- superbigjay 20121221:
     Calling Jump pannel when library is empty causes "terminate in a unusual way" error.
  Todo ...
     ...

- RetroBorg 20121220:
     Scrolling left/right, jump previous/next: automatically select first song like for album select via keyboard.
  In Progress 20121221:
     select first song after jump to selected item
     select first song after jump from find panel
     select selected song after jump from find pannel
     select first song after jump previous/next letter
     select first song after scroll left/right in album view

- egosbar 20121222:
     Some song metadata don't show up
     ex: 01. We Treat Each Other Cruel  this one wont display
     ex: 01-We Treat Each Other Cruel   this one will display
  Postponed to future release 20121223
     This is normal for non-id3, when using folder/file naming style.
     This will only be fixed when ID3 support is added in future release.
     For now, set your library file naming style to use only <SONGTITLE>, or rename the library using a rename utility

-----------------------------------------------------------

Also, le me know what OS you tried and which version is working for you.
So far, this is the info I have:

superbigjay:
OS: winxp
version alpha 1.03 (winxp - mingw1.7.4) is working

RetroBorg:
OS: win8
version alpha 1.03 (win7 - mingw4.8.1) is working
version alpha 1.03 (win7 - mingw4.7.4) ???

egosbar:
OS: win7
version alpha 1.03 (???)

bbee383
OS: win7 Home Premium SP1
version: alpha 1.03 (win7 - mingw4.7.4) is working
version: alpha 1.03 (win7 - mingw4.8.1) is working

Turvey
OS: ???
version: alpha 1.03 (???)

runbabyrun
OS: ???
version: alpha 1.03 (???)

As I can see right now,
winxp users can use alpha 1.03 xp version and win7/win8 users can use alpha 1.03 win7 version (either version should work)

Anyways, I expect everyone, including myself, to be busy with christmas and their familly, so I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!!! Take care of yourself and the ones you love.

Jay  :cheers:

Win7 user here  ;)

First of all thank you very much for allowing me to try this. Unfortunately I haven't had much time to play with it yet. I did notice that a lot of my albums didn't display all the track listings and there was no album art at all. Reading through previous posts it seems that a general sorting out of my file names is in order.

Another thing I noticed, and I'm sure it's more down to me than you, is that when I selected a track to play it said it was playing but it wasn't  :-\

Hopefully I'll get a chance to play with it a bit more at some stage over the next couple of days and I'll report back  ;)

It just remains for me to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.  :cheers:

while the wife isn't watching... you've dowloadled alpha 1.03 (win7 - mingw4.7.4) or alpha 1.03 (win7 - mingw4.8.1)?

Are the album art jpg? if not, look at the help, it says how to manually edit the ini file to add more album art (by default, only jpg are supported)
If you want, send me your
- uroJUKEstyx.ini
- uroMUSICLIB.lib (you'll need to remove the extension before sending it by email)- uroDEBUG.txt (you'll need to enable the traces in the options - debug), then re-open and close the program in order to get the trace

merry mas buddy!

« Reply #157 on: December 28, 2012, 12:41:59 am »
I think I have resolve all issues reported so far, except ID3 tags which are planned for a future release.
So if you're using a library based on file/folder name style, you can give it a shot.

PM sent to alpha team in order to get some feedback and find new bugs.

Jay  :cheers:

do we have to re set all our settings ie song titles etc

or does this overide previous version , do we delete previous version and reload our library?
