Recomended Spec

(1/3) > >>

Karaokedude:
I have a small Form Factor PC P3 550 i have installed XP on to it and  some MPs

just wondered if there is a recomended min spec
as i have noticed it runs fine but if i use the left right keys to scroll through  selections the music stutters

unless there is a buffer issue and i can increase the buffer for the music apart from that seems to work fine

Chris:
CD skins require more resources than classic skins because they have to load the cover art.  Try going into the skin file and disabling the scrolling animation.  If that makes it go away we can tinker from there.  If it doesn't, the problem is probably a slow hard drive, which is possible in an SFF PC.  Another possibility is oversized cover art files: the entire file has to be loaded and resampled to match the size onscreen; if you have high-resolution cover art images this could be the problem.  My cover art images are generally 200x200 or 300x300 and 10K or less in file size.  How large are your cover art images?

cheers i will have a play about

i disabled the animation and didnt make any difference so i  put a hash in front of everything in the cd art section in the jukeebox.ini  so that it loaded the default image and seems ok so looks like its down the file res and size

Let me know how big the files turn out to be.  If they're megabytes in size, I'd suggest making them smaller, but if they're 50K or less I may need to rewrite the image loader.

Thanks!
