If the remote directory is mapped to a drive letter it will, but it does not support UNC paths.

Is there any way to control to size of the 'new, larger fonts' that are used for the credit dispaly and the selection display or are they set automatically based on the resolution?
PS - Nice job on this release, it seems to have fixed a number of problems.

They are set automatically based on the size of the displays. Each display has a setting for height in pixels (relative to the skin background) and a number of lines. Once the displays have been rescaled and rotated, the true height is divided by the number of lines and the next smallest font is used. So if you need a larger font, reduce the number of lines in a display or increase the height of the display. The larger fonts were added because at resolutions over 1024x768, the largest font was already in use and the gaps between lines would just get bigger. There used to be four sizes of dot-matrix fonts available; now there are six.
With the bigger fonts now available, at least one of the skins will need tinkering to look right.
The fixed fonts are necessary for the dot-matrix displays, as dot matrix fonts look horrible when auto scaled. It's a ton of work to add a new dot-matrix font, though, because they're created by hand. I've considered allowing regular TrueType fonts in the displays, but that's a low priority right now.

Thanks Chris. Now that I know how they work I should be able to tweak the displays as need. I did notice the automatic size change on the song dispaly. Works just as you sais.

And I just (literally seconds ago) added the ability to change that font, so now the jukebox will ship with a couple of .fnt files for the displays. Again, I may add TrueType to the displays later, but for now this is a quick way to deal with the issue. I just whipped up a quick Arial font and it worked fine. I'll probably add a couple of LED-ish fonts to the distribution.

Reducing the size of the Credits and Selection display by 10 pixels got me the font size I wanted. Cheers.

That should be fine & as for the delay, I have a 10/100 switched network but if there is a delay I will just think of it as the "Record" changing :)

You will have no probems for this unless you have huge mp3 files - I have a pile of long mixes (45mins+each) which introduces a huge delay.
Its only a problem for wireless which is too slow not to stream.
