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.

Hello, and welcome to the board!
Build your wife one of those mountain jukes and she will probably let you build any arcade you want after that.
Thanks for the advice on the playing dvd's. I have XLobby setup to pop up the play box, and I downloaded a trial version of Zoom Player, but I cant get the xlobby command to work. What is the syntax of that command?
Also, I would love to see any skins you have made for Xlobby.
Internet radio sounds good too.
My wife originally said she was going to put the juke where she works (walmart Pharmacy), if they will allow it. I figured there was no way I could get on their network without causing a stir, so I didnt want internet on it.
But she has left it at home, uses it while shes working in the kitchen, so now im thinking of putting a wireless NIC in it, so the radio part would be good now.

DaOld Man,
I got the audio CD to work in Xlobby following directions posted above. Let me know if you need any help, it is very straightforward.

When you click the play button from the pop up window does it even launch zoomplayer, does the pop up even happen?
Also do you have any AVI files or other movie types loaded to play through xlobby and if so have you gotten those to work?
You may need to go to the File Types tab in the set up menu and set the path to zoomplayer, and also make sure you have one set up for Video_TS files. You can try this paramater for DVD's
/DVD /PLAY /F %playlist%
Which skin are you using...modified Bong or Bong2, I can play around with one those when I get home tonight and make sure I can get the DVD pop up to work.
DaOld Man:
I dont have any movies saved to hard drive (I only have 80 gigs of space).
The popup does pop up in xlobby but when I press play dvd, nothing happens.
I just want to be able to plug in the dvd and have the movie play in xlobby.
Pressing play on the popup would be ok.
I think I am using the default skin. I will have to double check and get back with you.
I will have to check the file types tab.
