Thanks

Hi Jon,

Glad you like it! :)

I've sent you a PM - looks like the form handling code has gotten broken along the way; I'll fix that and upload an update, then be in touch to make sure it works properly.

Rebel Oz 69:
A quick update (V0.963b) to fix another bug I introduced, where the optimised code for handling dialog borders prevented the Registration Information dialog from holding keyboard focus (thus preventing typing).

Some other changes:


* Addition of a few new Dual Strip card variants (simple plain labels, with a couple of colored lines for Artist in the middle).
* Optimised display writing (so screen updates are performed much faster now).
* Improvements to keyboard buffer handling.
* Fixed error where under some conditions, the snackbar dialog would display (even when disabled).
* Added ability to dismiss snackbar notifications by clicking/tapping anywhere on-screen.

VideoJuke - 0.963b

Rebel Oz 69:
Another update (V0.964b).
Some of the changes in this release:


* License activation request handling now works. Now when you right-click, enter your details & hit Save, an activation request (activate.txt) will be created in the program directory. PM me for further info.
* In-progress selections are now preserved during skin changes.
* Improved performance of display position/size/text/color updates.
* Skin change: Now updates all display text correctly.
* Skin change: Next/Previous button functionality improved.
* BTN_CLEAR_QUEUE: Now clears down correctly (ie. only to the item after the currently playing item), preserving previous item history.
* Added 'Instant cancel' capability to Snackbar notifications.
* Fixed auto-dismiss functionality for the version display dialog box.
* Improved some logging labelling.
* Added Selector 'Marching Icons' border effect (not yet wired up).


* Various code cleanups and optimizations.

Rebel Oz 69:
Another small update (V0.965b).
Some of the changes in this release:


* Fixed: Skin change issue, where number of lines per sub-display wasn't reset reliably.
* Fixed: Skin change issue, where maximum skin number was off-by-one (so highest number skin would be skipped when changing skins).
* Fixed: Bundled skin 'Stereo-Touch' name typo in jukebox.ini.
* Fixed: Alpha-numeric search function now works correctly (if key pressed is not a selector key).
* Fixed: Sometimes screensaver would be closed if a snackbar was dismissed at the wrong time.
* Fixed: Master Volume value now logged correctly.
* Added: Direct skin change keys (ie BTN_SKIN_1..BTN_SKIN_20) to jump straight to the numbered skin.
* Added: Conway's 'Game Of Life' simulation (life) screensaver (because, why not? It's only a couple hundred lines of code).
* Refactored startup sequence to improve performance.
* Refactored Player Event handler to improve performance.
* Optimized media metadata retrieval (on average, about 25% faster when indexing).
* Tidied up skins to optimize strip grid usage.
* Bug Hunt: The very first track played at startup sometimes causes track information snackbar to appear twice (if snackbar is enabled and Radio Mode is enabled).
* Bug Hunt: When resizing screen of changing skins, if track title is long, scrolling functionality gets messed up.
* Bug Hunt: When changing skins, Mouse-over Tooltips are not updating correctly.

VideoJuke - 0.965b

Another update (V0.966b).
A massive re-write of large sections of the code, along with some key structural changes behind the scenes.
Some of the changes in this release:

* Added: Display management sub-system (for upcoming multi-screen mode).
* Added: Long Press now opens Options Menu.
* Added: Auto-hide mouse cursor functionality.
* Added: Option to blink the credit display if you have zero credits available.
* Added: Waveform / graphic equaliser display for audio-only media.
                               
        Supports zoom to full screen, with configurable transparency (By default, "KEY_SLASH_PAD" = "BTN_TRANS_DOWN" and "KEY_ASTERISK" = "BTN_TRANS_UP").
        This allows full control of the media selection, whilst still displaying the visualiser.
* New Option: Jukebox.ini > settings > 'VisualiserMode' allows you to select an audio visualiser mode.
         Valid options are: Waveform, Bars, Zoned, ZonedLED, and None.
* New Option: Jukebox.ini > settings > 'WaveColor' allows you to pick the color used to display the waveform.
* New Option: Jukebox.ini > settings > 'BlinkCredit' allows the new credit blink function to be disabled.
* Fixed: Annoying flicker when mouse enters/leaves media player zone has been resolved.
* Fixed: Wallpaper video no longer restarts when UI is rebuilt (No more flicker).
* Fixed: Tooltips now update correcty when skin changes.
* Fixed: Long title scrolling. Now pauses for 5 seconds before looping. Also fixed resizing glitch that caused text to be displayed twice sometimes when resizing.
* Fixed: Bug in duplicate checking.
* Fixed: AutoScreenSaverCancelTimeout option should now work correctly.
* Fixed: Snackbar queueing system more intuitive.
* Fixed: Bug where screen saver was cancelled if next media is video.
* Fixed: Mouse hover zones no longer appear on non-clickable icons.
* Refactored: DW Display build logic (In preparation to better handle multi-screen).
* Refactored: Screen Saver trigger/cancel logic - now has a state manager for more precise control.
I'm particularly pleased with the audio visualiser, which required a re-write of the entire playback state management sub-system. As I could find no way for the video player component to expose raw waveform or FFT data for audio stream analysis, I've split audio-only media and videos into their own stream handlers. The re-design makes the media handlers much more modular, and the logic is much cleaner and more efficient in the backend now. This has also paved the way for audio beat detection (not currently exposed).
There's one limitation though: M4A (AAC in MP4 container) is currently not decoded in the audio-only engine, so it will be treated as a (blank) video.

The improvements to snackbar handling make it much nicer. We now prevent duplicate consecutive notifications, with the ability to auto-cancel any snackbar being displayed, which makes it feel way more responsive/timely.

Refactoring the DW Display build logic has yielded a nice performance gain, especially when screen saver activates. We now preserve UI state in the background, but prevent unnecessary rendering (improving screensaver rendering speed), and when screen saver closes, the UI is already built and ready, which makes resuming from screensaver lightning fast.

We've also optimised the icon build process, so each icon is only ever rebuilt if it's actually changed.

All combined, these changes nett us around a 20% improvement in UI creation times, so skin changes are super quick, but there's an issue I'm tracking down with the orientation/scaling logic (affecting media player window on some skins) when skin changes right now, so I'd advise against using it for the time being.
This will be fixed for the next release.


One final note: The licensing routine has been updated, which means we will need to re-issue licenses for those who have purchased the application.
Please contact me for a replacement license.
