I've been out of commission for a while but I wanted to make sure to let you know how great everything turned out. I really like the DVD tray on the back - great idea. Now I need to hurry up and finish mine! :cheers:

Thanks Javeryh!!
You know you are the one that "pushed me over the edge" in my decision to build a mountain juke, when you started yours.
I cant wait to see yours finished.
Now, a little update.
The griffin Powermate works most of the time, using the version of software that came with it (V1.5?) (Thanks Barry Barcrest for the suggestion.)
But it still fails to initiate sometimes, so I have decided to replace it with a pot.
I think I will go with some blue leds that should light up the circle around the knob a lot better.
I will try to get more pictures of that journey.

Here is Windows desktop. I havent figured out how to play DVDs from XLobby either. Have to exit to windows to play with media player.

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and have been lurking around for a couple days admiring the work you have done. Maybe I will find a use for some of my old computer parts after seeing this, just have to convince the wife we "need" one.
I have been playing around with Xlobby for a little while and started to think about a skin that would be basically only for jukebox use and that is sort of how I found this forum, so I have some knowledge in xlobby already. You can set up Xlobby to autoplay DVD's and CD's. If you go into settings (f2), then to the Misc tab, there is a section there for autoplay. Many of the skins already have events set up and pop up screens created so all you have to do is assign the proper event. when you enter a cd or dvd it will pop up and ask you what you want to do. I think the DVD player most use by default in there is Zoomplayer though, so some tweaking would be needed for media player, although zoomplayer pro is only $30 or so and has good integration with Xlobby so it may be worth it to you.
Another thing I noticed you guys talking about was the internet radio issues. There is a plugin available for Xlobby now for shoutcast. You would need to add some screens to the BONG skin if you wanted to use it, but many of the newer ones have it integrated already. It really works well and would be a great addition to a jukebox with internet access.
If I get a nice skin completed sometime that is good for jukebox implementation I will let you know and you guys can try it out and let me know what you think. I am certainly not a skinning master but I have been able to customize a few with good success.
Thanks and keep up the inspiring work.
