uroJUKEstyx alpha 2.03 by superbigjay (ready to download) : LRC!

[RetroBorg]

It took me a few reads to understand what you had written but if I understand correctly this is exactly what I was after.   

I like the SKJ replica.

Looking forward to beta 1.00.

[superbigjay]

Last Thursday, I was completing the color editor integration and I screw up something.
It took me 2-3 hours yesterday to pinpoint the problem yesterday...

All that being said, the problem is now identified and I should be able to fix it this morning since I got about 2 hours before work...

I'll report back as soon as I get more news on this.

[RetroBorg]

Can't wait for the next version.

[superbigjay]

Can't wait for the next version.

Soon my friend ... soon 

Okay, I've fix the issue that I had where the apps was crashing at boot.
Now the font & color cutomization is fully functional.
I also modified the config form to add key configuration for the jump form.

Next steps are
- complete the new jump keys config : save+restore+connect the functionality.
- implement new behavior for the jump screen (auto clear text when required)
- fix the scroll albums problem (scroll by 2)
  Note : that option will be renamed "scroll by column / scroll by page". This is required for when I'll do the layout stuff
  where the user will be able to specify the number of  rows/columns to show albums (right noow it's hardcoded at 2x2).
- fix the random volume bug
- improve the random-stat algorithm
- create 1 or 2 more sets of buttons to use in the font&color (right now, I only have blue)

That's about what I remember from the top of my head.
I'll have to go through my list when these are completed ...
If some issue are too complicated to resolved/implement, I'll probably postponned them to get a release earlier since it's been ... a while.

[RetroBorg]

Sounds good.

- create 1 or 2 more sets of buttons to use in the font&color (right now, I only have blue)

Yesterday morning, I've completed the ViewQueue key config (I said jump, but was refering to the view queue) and can now control the queue with the keyboard.
I also added a SORT queue function that was requested by egosbar if I remember correctly.
I've implemented the new "autoclear" functionalityin the jump screen.

That's about it for yesterday.

I won't touch the laptop over the weekend, so I will resume work on Monday ... (maybe a bit today at lunch too)

Have a nice weekend!

Whatcha up to on the weekend Jay?

[superbigjay]

Nothing much,
Fighting a sore throat (like my wife and number 2)   
Getting a trampoline for the kids

PS: at lunch, I've fixed the random volume adjustment problem.

[RetroBorg]

I hope I'm not pestering you but it's been a while, any updates Jay? 

[superbigjay]

I hope I'm not pestering you but it's been a while, any updates Jay? 

You're not pestrering me and yes, I agree, it's been a while 
May is always a bit more busy here since we start the camping season, have to get the yard ready and I also started a small patio (deck) project to add a 20x20 area to my existing 16x16 that will allow the kids to go to and bach to the trampoline without having to put their shoes on (and removing some lawnmower area)...

All that put together left me with even less spare time to program...

I rewrote some classes in order to be more straight forward for the color stuff. and also be able to implement the layout stuff in a future release.

As soon as I get some real progress or a release, I'll will inform you.

Sorry that it take that much time.

- Random stat mode issue (todo)
  Playing around with the Random Stat mode today.
  I pretty much went through every album in the jukebox adding my favourite songs to the queue.
  I then continually pressed next and watched the number (1) appear after all the songs reached now playing.
  I then decided to let the jukebox run in Random Stat mode and enjoy the tunes.
  Straight away I noticed a lot of songs were coming up way too often and others not coming up at all.
  I decided to just continue pushing the next button to see what the jukebox would select next.
  I then noticed a pattern that certainly didn't appear very random.
  I noticed songs from artists closer to the start of the alphabet kept coming up,
  in fact no random song from an artist past the letter F.

How exciting, I missed this, will download and give it a go after work. 

[superbigjay]

How exciting, I missed this, will download and give it a go after work. 

Understandable ... I was to busy with other projects for the summer, so the thread was quite inactive...

I wrote down a new random stat algo that should be more robust than the first one and I also added a new trace for debug in case it doesn't work as expected. I should have a bit of time tomorrow morning to code it.

When ready, I'll probably release it so you can try it and see if it fixes the problem ...

Take care!

Hi Jay,

Didn't get a chance to have a play around after work, had to spend time with the missus so I'm having a quick play before work.

Colours look great and everything I've changed seems to be working well.

I noticed you have the key remap for the queue.

Is this fully implemented yet?

The keys seem to remap alright but then don't function right.

Also, noticed that when I had the volume turned all the way down using your volume slider and the song finishes, when the new song starts the volume goes all the way up.

Ha ha, it's right... I forgot that I implemented this a while ago. I think it was all done and tested. I'll need to check tomorrow morning to see if it is really done.
Do you have an example of what isn't working.
From what you're saying, the key seems to be saved and restored in the config file, but aren't apply at all on the controls.

Also, noticed that when I had the volume turned all the way down using your volume slider and the song finishes, when the new song starts the volume goes all the way up.

Added to todo list. Probably something with the volume normalization for random vs regular mode.
I should be able to replicate it. In the mean time, if I remember correctly, there an option in the config (audio engine) to disable the volume adjustment. If this is the case, you can disable it to circumvent the problem.

Thanks for the feedback : 2 items added to TODO list

Well in view mode I press the "R" key which is mapped to Randomize and nothing happens but the Randomize button works fine.

Same goes for Sort, Load & Save.

I had also hoped that the ability to move could be worked differently.

I'm hoping you can add an extra key in Queue view to be mapped for "Move Mode", if so I would map the enter key to this.

When the key allocated for "Move Mode" is selected, the song that is currently selected changes colour to denote it's in "Move Mode".

This then allows the keys that are currently mapped for up, down, left & right keys to be used to move the song around.

Using up and down scroll keys to move the song through the list or use left and right keys to move song to bottom or top of list.

Whatever key is mapped for "Close" leaves "Move Mode".

I hope this makes sense, it just allows me to reduce the amount of buttons I need when I build my jukebox.

[superbigjay]

Well in view mode I press the "R" key which is mapped to Randomize and nothing happens but the Randomize button works fine.

All right, I found and fixed the problem (commented out 1 line). The next release should allows you to properly remap keys, including the up/down which weren't available in the config.

Ok, I'll add the alternate move mode.
I would prefer to reuse the MoveTop/MoveBottom instead of Up/Down keys.
This seems more natural as it would allow the user to reuse the same key to move a song (by one location or to the top#bottom), the go up/down to select a new song to also move it without having to change mode.
The AlternateMode button would then simply switch the MoveUp/MoveDown to MoveTop/MoveBottom.
As for the mode infomation, I'll probably just add a text info to indicate in what mode the user is.
I don't want to play with color/effect in "secondary" windows for now since I would have to redo it anyways if I also apply the user color theme...

Is that ok?

I also finished to write the new random stat algoritms, but still have to test them.

Alternate move mode is now implemented and validated.
New config key to switch mode is added to config (ENTER by default).
It works well and is intuitive (IMO). I think you'll like it. If not, well let me know and I see how to improve it.
I'll probably do a release around next Friday. This should leave me enough time to debug the volume issue and validate the random stat mode.
If you have other issues that you want me to look at for that release, let me know.

Note:
I'll be away from my computer this weekend since I'm having a corn party tomorrow at my place (25 adults + 25 children) and Sunday will be relaxing/cleaining with the kids and wife.

The party will give me the opportunity to test the cowboy cooler I built a few weeks ago using old pallets and a marine radio to drive my 4 patio's speakers

- Random volume adjustment
  Also, noticed that when I had the volume turned all the way down using your volume slider
  and the song finishes, when the new song starts the volume goes all the way up.
  ---------------------------
  Fixed, the behavior is the following:
  - when random volume adjustment is enable (option/audio_engine/random_song_volume < 100%)
    The volume is stored whenever the user changes it.
    When switching from a normal to random song : volume is reduced to % set by the user
    when switching from a random to normal song : volume is restored to stored value
    The volume adjustment is disabled when the user changes the volume while a random song is playing.
    The volume adjustment is reenabled when playing a normal song,
    The logic is that is the user changes the volume while a random song is playing, it is the new
    random AND normal volume.

Did you had the time to download 2.01 and see if these issues are resolve properly

- view queue key remap and alternate mode
- page scroll by 2
- random mode (algorithm and volume)

I have had a quick play:

Random algorithm seems to be working properly.

Volume is working correctly.

Page scroll by 2 working correctly.

View queue move mode still not working liked I had hoped.

I will have to spend some more time on it to give you proper feed back.

[superbigjay]

View queue move mode still not working liked I had hoped.

Haha! I was expecting that 
Play a bit with it and we'll negociate a compromise ;-)

[superbigjay]

View queue move mode still not working liked I had hoped.

Is the ENTER (default key) works for you to switch between up/down and top/bottom move modes?

It was working on my XP machine, but I just tried it on my WIN7 machine and the ENTER doesn't register. I tried with another key (M) and that one works...

So let say I have mapped
up = scroll up
dn = scroll dn
left = move up
right = move down
m = toggle move mode

I select the song by pressing up/dn.
Then I can move it by simply pressing left/right
The song will be moved by one or to the top/botton, depending on the current move mode.

I'll check why the ENTER key doesn't work (some child widget probably catch it and don't fwd it to its parent to be processed like the other keys)

Jay

[superbigjay]

Is the ENTER (default key) works for you to switch between up/down and top/bottom move modes?

Forget my last comment...
The ENTER key works on both my PC and my laptop.
It's because on one computer, the ENTER key registers as ENTER and on the laptop it registers as RETURN.

If the key doesn't register on you PC, simply go to config->key remap and re-assign the key to your ENTER key

[RetroBorg]

The enter key works fine but if you are in move mode and press escape it closes the queue view, it would be good if pushing escape once leaves move mode and then press it again to queue view.

I would still like to use the scroll up and down keys in move mode.

All right, I've completed mods to the configuration to support what you want AND what I want.  It will be fully customizable, so users will BA able to optimize their buttons even more if they need to.

I will release this around the weekend with proper instructions on how to setup the keys.

I'm not sure but I think your mods to the key mapping may have stuffed up the enter key selecting an artist in jump mode, it no longer works.

[superbigjay]

I'm not sure but I think your mods to the key mapping may have stuffed up the enter key selecting an artist in jump mode, it no longer works.

I'll have a look this morning before work... It might be related to my custom list widget that is shared by the queue and jump form. I think I only have to catch the ENTER key, which is about 1 minute of work...

What also might be handy in jump mode is pressing the left and right scroll keys moved the list back and forwards one letter through the alphabet.

[superbigjay]

Done: Jump form is modified to catch the ENTER key.

Done : left/right jump letter in jump form.
Will be included in next release.

Also, you requested a long time ago to have the option like in skj to use the up/down to jump letter when no album is selected.
Done : an option is added to enable the jump letter via up/dn instead of the actual scroll queue when no album is selected.
It will be included in the next release.

Quick question RB, on your system, your ENTER key register as ENTER or RETURN?

- UNUSED key can be used multiple times in the key configuration
  When a key is assigned (remapped), the juke check if the key was used by another function and if so,
  it swaps the new key with the old one. That check was also done when disabling a key.
  This prevents the user from disabling more than one key.
  This is now fixed.

Retroborg 20130820 (done 20130820)
- ENTER doesn't register in JUMP form
     Custom QListWidget was modified to be able to fully customize the VIEW_QUEUE form,
     which cause the ENTER key not being processed by the JUMP form.
  Fixed. ENTER key now register properly.
 
Retroborg 20130820 (done 20130820)
- left and right scroll keys moved the list back and forwards one letter through the alphabet.
  Left/Right to jump letter is implemented.

Retroborg 20130305 (done 20130820)
- Jump next letter using up/dn when no album is selected
     Also, in SK Jukebox there was an option to use the up/down buttons to skip letters
     when flicking through the albums, can this be an option in uroJukestyx as well?
  Implemented : option->general->Up/Down Jump Letter When No Album Selected (else scroll queue)
  Default is off

- pause indicator (now message) (todo)
  Now Message indicates player status.

- next song don't update the number of song in the queue header (todo)
Have fun and report any issues.

PS: the help file is a bit out of sync. I'll update it in the next release.

Just downloaded and installed the latest version.

I haven't test anything but the move mode so far and have to say that's exactly what I was after, AWESOME! 

Thank you.

[RetroBorg]

Jump mode works great too.

Cool! I haven't taken the time to update the help file, so I'm happy you were able to configure your key as you wanted

Everything I've tested is working properly.

Just wondering what are your plans now?

I just went to start up SK Jukebox and found to my surprise I've never installed it on my current computer, usually one of the first things I do after setting up a computer.

I guess that just shows you how much I like uroJUKEstyx, I haven't missed SK Jukebox at all.

Anyway I installed SK Jukebox to see if there's anything I prefer about SK Jukebox over uroJUKEstyx.

As far as I can see only two, SK Jukebox has animation of the album scroll and version 4 supports video, though not many video formats.

Anyway, any chance we can get similar album scroll animation to SK Jukebox next? 

Cheers.

superbigjay 20130828 (todo)
- icons update (todo)
  icon png to update/create on photoshop.
  icon text size to auto-program?

The next items I want to play with are:
- update help file --> REL 2.03
- display optimization (only refresh what needs to be updated) --> REL 2.03
- scroll animations --> REL 2.03
- osk customization --> REL 2.04
- LRC --> REL 2.05

I'm not sure yet how the scroll animation performances will look like.
I've done some testing last year, but will have to see how Qt handles it ...
Hopefully, it will still be fast enough.

I don't have much time this week to play on the software this week (school for my oldest one, switching internet provider and installing voip), but next week should be more ... normal
