VJ3 future features

(1/3) > >>

Ted_Striker:
Cyberpunk, you have added so many features at peoples request I was just hoping you could let us in on your future plans a bit.  A few threads down there was mention of the possibility of dual monitors.  Is this indeed in developement?  Is this a priority for you?  I ask because I am currently designing my juke cabinet.  If 2 monitors are definately going to be a reality then I want to design my cabinet around 2 monitors.  If not I will design around 1.  I would just hate to make it hold 2 monitors and never have that materialize.  It would look dorky with 2 monitors and only 1 functional.  On the flip side I would hate to go with 1 monitor and have this new wonderful feature and be unable to take advantage of it.

A little info on your future plans of your software please.  And hey even a "its done you fools.. no more features" would be fine.  

Great program and thankyou.

VMJ Team:
OK.  I know it appears that I've been keeping everyone in the dark and made promises that haven't happened yet....Here's the story:  Many changes will be taking place....look for a more "professional" looking version of the software (There is a very good chance it will be hitting the stores shortly)...There will be a few different versions of the software (PC users, which will still have all of the great features as the current version, a touch-screen version-which will be trimmed down a bit and focus primarily on touch screen compatibiltiy, and a commercial version-this one will be sold within a complete jukebox unit and available to Jukebox vendors)....

The "ideas" (nothing written in stone) for the software are to add ripping and FREEDB access...bascially drop in a CD and it will grab track info, album covers, and rip to mp3 automatically.  Dual monitor support for XP...for lyrics, videos, advertisements, etc....

...pretty much everything I was hopefull about adding, will eventually make it into the software.  I just had to put everything on hold for a little while...but I plan on attacking all of the little issues and requests starting next week.

As always, keep checking the www.mameroom.com website for details.

Ted_Striker:
Wonderful.  Thanks for the update.  My Jukebox will definately get 2 monitors now.

With the new versions of the program do you anticipate changing the licensing scheme.  Will current users need to choose a version or will we be able to run either?  I would assume that the commercial license be more expensive as people could make money with it (but us hobbyists wouldn't have much use for the commercial version anyway)

Some ideas:
When VJ is playing mabe have it change the covers displayed every few mins or maybe change to the cover for the song playing if there was no activity for a min or so .

Some kind of easy access from A-Z , Maybe a pop up from a A-Z selection button .

A log of tracks that cause VJ to crash or stop so the track can be removed or fixed.

Genre/Year  selection from the ID3 tag information.

Popular tracks reporting , tracks played / time played so statistics can
 be analyzed maybe even sent by email to a given address.


Just some thoughts :))


Oh and don't forget cdg compatible like winamp !! save me making 50meg mpg files for each track!!

I would like to have the ability to customize how many thumbnail albums appear on one screenful. I think I can get 40 albums on one screen and still have pretty decent looking images.

It gets pretty tedious to flip through page after page in my relatively small collection of 400 albums.
