Sound stuttering badly at page change over
david656:
Hi Chris,
I have been designing an album skin for a while now, however if music is playing and i try to change pages quickly, the music stutters all over the place. The problem never appears in a standard artist skin, but i think its happened in other album skins to my own. Once my skin is finished i hope to send it to you in hope its good enough for your website.
I have attached the.. AS IS, unfinished skin.. with temporary buttons etc. and hope you can get the sound stuttering too and see if you know what it is i have done wrong.
Chris:
The problem is very unlikely to be in the skin. The usual cause of this is an underpowered system, underpowered video card, or oversized album cover images. I put some fixes in for these sorts of issues a couple versions back, though.
Go into jukebox.ini and set DebugLevel=2 and run the program, switch a couple of pages to cause the issue, then post or E-mail the resulting jbdebug.log file so I can see if there is anything going on.
Thanks!

ARGH! it mucked up my post :angry:
ok.. from the start! This is probably the bit you want, however attached the whole thing. I saw someone else had this problem, and i think you managed to fix it. I'm running Vista SP2 Home Premiun. 4Gb RAM 3.0Ghz AMDx2. Although this isn't the machine i plan to run it on eventually, i still had this problem on that machine when i last tried it.

Thank you again for your great software and on going support for it.

Chris:
It sounds like it is not getting enough CPU..... is anything else running that is using a lot of CPU?
Can you kick DebugLevel up to 3 and try it again so I can get a bit more info?
Thanks!

Hi Chris,
Thanks again for looking into this i really appreciate it. I have attached a debug lvl 3. the CPU is set to a 100 in the settings and i have checked the Ctrl Alt Del menu and CPU usage before i load the program is about 2/3% with 900mb out of the 4gb ram used.
An interesting fact is if i set animation to 0 its fine, however i like the scrolling album art and would like to keep the animation if possible.
thanks again
David
