Virtual Jukebox 2.0 Beta

(1/3) > >>

Rockin:
Anyone else find that the new beta doesnt work, I cant get it to show a single album cover and get a runtime error when I click on view by artist.  I cant imagine I am the only one, and I also bet its fixed by tomorrow, you have to admit, Scott does his very best to please everyone.  Running Windows XP Pro - Service Pack 1

did you erase your jukebox ini before running it?

Rockin:
Yes I did in fact erase the .ini before I tried to do anything.  I got the exact same results on 2 different machines.  I will, just for fun, try it on a third machine in about an hour.  I am sure its only a temp problem, like I said, Scott will fix it.

The beta version installed fine on mt Xp machine.

Also let me say that some of these new features are very exciting for touch screen users. But I did find a few bugs.

1. When I display 8 albums at a time it imports  some of the covers into the number area above the album cover.

2. If the tracks are in a button and I select a album with 10 songs it's fine but if I go to another album with 5 songs it displays the 5 new songs but it will display songs 6-10 of the last album I looked at.

3. when tracks are in a button I can't adjust the font size.

That's all for now, but let me just say that Scott you have outdone yourself. My real name is garry and I ask you about some of the touch screen features that you have implemented into your software.  Not many people can accept constructive Criticism. But because you take it willingly your jukebox is the best bar none. Thank you!

VMJ Team:
First off...I want to thank everyone for the support...I am trying to satisfy all the users on all of the different Windows platforms...As far as the albums not being displayed and the runtime errors....you WILL receive these symptoms if you downloaded the VERSION 2 BETA executable and copied it into the VERSION 1 installation directory without running the latest setup program.  Version 2 beta is looking for graphics files in a SKIN folder (which gets installed with the Version 2 beta setup program).   Please download the latest setup program from http://www.mameroom.com to eliminate these symptoms.

I have also updated the program to correct the problem Garry explained..with the tracks not being overwritten in interactive mode.  Garry, the font size in the buttons is controled by the font size specified for the track listing.  It appears 1.5 times larger than the font size specified.  If needed, I can work into the program a method for changing just this font size.

I also added a new feature.  Users with many albums complained about loading speed being to slow, only having 100 albums myself, I never fully understood what was the complaint...so I copied all my albums 3 times and found the problem.  The program loads all covers, track lists, and album information up front...this takes time.  I added a feature to allow the user to select whether all the albums will be loaded up front or only when needed.  For example, only the first four (or eight) albums will be loaded at startup.  As the user presses the left or right buttons, the next two or previous two albums in the library list will be loaded before the Album tray slides left or right.

There were a few other updates, but I wanted to get these out there ASAP.

Thanks again for all the support.
