Yet Another Jukebox Program
Qaz:
Hi SK,
I've only been playing with this jukebox program for a week, but loving it.. I have a few thiings to report if you want to know about it. Hopefully, it's not a repeat of something someone else may have noticed.
1) I was playing with the credits.. and everytime you reload with existing credits the credits display as 0 although it's not really 0. The credits seems to be there, but shows up as 0. This is only realized when u add more credits or add a track.
2) Also relating to credits, if you have existing credits and go into options 'o' screen and exit to main screen the existing credits are completely gone.. back to 0 and here it's really 0.
3) I believe someone mentioned in a previous posts that multiple instances of the program were encountered.. well I've had this happen quite a number of times in addition to the program not really or so it seems unable to shutdown with 'q' or 'Ctrl-q'. I'm not quite sure, but i think it shuts down and restarts. It seems happen so quickly that it appears as not having shutdown.
4) Not sure if your jukebox program supports EAX.. I'm using a Creative Audigy sound card and it seems that once EAX is enabled.. and a track is played, upon completion EAX is completely disabled along with any associated settings. I think what's happening here is that the sound device probably gets disabled? Because when I go into Creative's EAX console after it stops working.. everything is blank and sometimes i get a message of no valid device found. The moment I shutdown the jukebox program, everything is back to normal and EAX is re-enabled. If I don't shutdown and play another track, it seems to play visually, but no sound outputs. I've tries a number of other media players and this problem doesn't occur, only with the jukebox program.
5) I think your new screensaver still has a bug in it somewhere? Even though the screensaver setting is set to option 3 (scrolling) it sometimes displays a popup message of can't find .jpg.
Anyways, those a just a few things I've noticed while playing with the jukebox software. Otherwise, great work so far and happy holidays.

Hi!
I am trying to set up genres. I do all the right stuff in setting up the directory etc. but this happens.
I have arranged my music into dance music and eighties music and used 2 separate folders.
The program loads up and recognises dance as one genre and all the 80s stuff , despite all eing in one folder called eighties all come up as a separate genre!!! so I have like 200 genres instead of one for 80s!
How do I get round this?
Any ideas?
Thank you.
PileDriver:
Do you have both folders in the same root folder?
I use the following format.
Music--
Genre1--
Artist---
Album---
Songs
Genre2---
Artist---
Album---
Songs
Etc...
I hope this helps

1) Hmmm...wasn't aware the credits were saved between sessions. Will look into it....
2) OK, that should be an easy fix. Just won't clear the credit count when you come out of there (the program totally re-initializes for the new settings)
3) That should be fixed in the next version....I hope! ;)
4) That would be the fault of the control I use to play the music. It seems to lock the sound card, as well as any CD drives in some instances. I will get the latest version & distribute it with the next version. Hope that will cure some of these problems.
5) Can you let me know the exact message you are getting there? AFAIK, there's no message that will display related to loading jpg's
As for having a good xmas....I'll try & same to you :D
SK.

If PileDriver's post does not help, please post a screenshot of your folder tree, with both the Dance & 80s folders visible & expanded. That might give me a clue.
