Genres and Feature Request

<< < (2/6) > >>

digitaldj:
Salmon,

I tried restructuring my folders and went into the setup file and set firat part of folder as genre and also give selection of genres. This is what i had:
c:\music\country
c:\music\rock

What i end up with after setting options is country artists folders showing up as genres selections, example:
Instead of Country (Genre Selection)

I get,  Artist
          Artist
          Artist
          Etc.
Is SK Jukebox programmed in VB6 or later? I know if it is VB2005 it will only run in XP only without problems.

Thanks,
Kevin

SalmonKing:
What did you have as your music paths though?  As I said in my last post, you NEED to have just 'C:\Music' in that list for it to work.

'First Part Of Directory Is Genre' means the first part of the directory AFTER the path you enter.  Therefore the first part SKJB is coming across is indeed the artist, and is acting perfectly fine.  It's just the setup you have put in that is not working.

This issue is nothing to do with the OS, the only issue I know of is the folder browsing, which I will fix at a later stage.

digitaldj:
My music is on D: but just the same. The add button is what brings up the SK has caused in error in shell32.dll. The other 2 buttons work fine.

d:\music\country\artisit\album
d:\music\rock\artist\album

I have tried a couple of different things with the settings etc. and still nothing showing up in the genre screen like it should.

Are you sure that it is not something in VB6 that is not agreeing with ME? I have reinstalled SKJB and everything to try and solve the problem.

Has anybody else had this problem?
Kevin

I am positive that it's an issue with 98/ME, because I have come across the problem in my day to day job as a programmer.  There have always been other ways around it for our clients, so it has never been a big issue, just something to look at when I get a chance (which, again, I will do in the near future).  There is nothing you can do about it unless you upgrade to 2000/XP, which I am not saying you should do.

It is nothing to do with VB6, it is a difference in the way 98/ME interperates a particular call to the shell32.dll.  Anyway, I have said several times now that this is the only OS issue I know of and will look at later.

As for the genres, can you please e-mail me your SKJukebox.ini so I can figure out what it going on.  It is a setting/program problem, not an OS problem.

Once I get your ini (my e-mail is in the readme.txt), I will post back here letting you know what the issue is.

Once I have had a chance to look at the folder browsing problem, I will post back here to let you know also, and perhaps give you a new version privately to test on your PC.   :)

Thanks,

SK.

SalmonKing:
OK, Ive tweaked the folder browsing code so it MIGHT now work on 98 & ME.  Ill upload a test version for you in a bit, and will post the link to the test version here.

SK.
