Hi I'm using the blue neon skin and want to know if there is any way of exiting the online play command..When i search it finds the songs but when i select some of them the blue circle searches and searches and won't do anything else..On some it times out but on others you need to turn off jukebox. Any ideas anyone.

Have you got anything downloading in the background such as torrents etc?
If you have this might be slowing down any online thing you are trying to do.
I know with my internet, if I am downloading, then usually I cannot do anything else.

No nothing it's only certain songs and it's the same every time for that song..a back button or exit screen button would resolve the issue..
If you can give an example of what songs you are having trouble with, then I can check my end for any problems.
Also you can download your own, I wrote this guide ages ago, let me know if it is out of date http://www.freeboxjukebox.com/Forum/index.php?topic=5613.0
search for the way to your heart on songs and its soulsister the way to your heart. Its just one example but there have been quite a few. Because it continually searches you have to exit the jukey all together. Is there no way a back button can be added to that screen to allow you to exit on a failed song rather than it just hang..
Working fine my end, well I say fine but you it takes about a minute or two before you get the play option to come up.
You need to be patient, give it a few minutes. It needs to download and then it tags your download.
However, I am not on the very latest version, but it does work my end.
Typical I have broken it my end, was doing a video for you, but not downloading for me now.

10 mins my end and still frozen it does play the majority and im not bothered about getting it to play the odd one that doesn't. But when it doesn't and i have to exit it loses all my queue and i have to start all over again..
Just done this video for you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPozOaMIGxw&feature=youtu.be
You can goto settings, and general I think it is and tick save queue on exit, just in case it happens but as you can see from my vid, it took less than two mins for me.
Yeah thats not the top one on that list. Its the top one that wouldn't play. Its not any specific song its the issue of not going back if it cant find it. It just keeps looking
Ok hang fire
See this thread, it's a known bug in the time out.
http://www.freeboxjukebox.com/Forum/index.php?topic=6151.msg42768#msg42768
Yeah he was the thread starter.
I am getting a problem with the top one myself, it is not downloading, it stays at 0kb.
It might be if there are different copyrights on that video or file format
Surely if it's possible it would be easier to put a back button on that search screen rather than try and find a bug fix. A back button would allow you to return to previous screen if it cannot find the song..I don't know how hard this would be as i haven't tried skinning yet.
It is not possible to put a button on that searching screen, that is not included for skinning.
However, I am not sure why you are hanging so much, I have not tried blue neon on this computer as on my arcade pc and only setting things up on this.
What kind of PC are you running how much memory hard drive etc, what is your internet connection like?
Have you got other stuff installed? Have you virus checked? How long have you had your hard drive for, is it a dodgy hard drive?

One machine is i5 2500k 8gig of DDR 3 ram and 240gb ssd dedicated to jukebox only..Other machine is amd black edition with 8gb ram and 120gb ssd tried this machine toobas dedicated jukebox. This is happening on both machines with 40gb internet. It loads most songs as i said it only permanently hangs a few random. Ones..All others load correctly and some even go back to select screen if they don't load just looking for a more permanent solution to the ones that do save shutting the machine down..I've tried this on other skins too and it happens with the same songs so it is a download link issue.
Yeah, your machines are obviously fine and dandy. I just downloaded the video just to see if it would download via another program, and the video downloads fine, but I have no sound on this PC.
However, as Barry has said in the other thread that you started, same subject you spammer lol
It is a bug that he cannot pin down at the moment.
I cannot see him putting any form of controls on the now searching screen, especially if it is locking up your end, as if it does lock up, then any functions would be locked out too.
I, however, have not had the program freeze up, if it is too slow, then I press my esc key and it goes to the admin screen, so I totally freeze free.
Yet I do not have much music on this PC so I cannot comment if it is because of a lack of MP3's and stuff.

I can hit escape key and exit jukebox but when i exit settings it goes back to search screen..
If you can download a video grabber www.dvdvideosoft.com is free and record screens it might help Barry but as I say I have no problems.
However, I am not using the version that you are, so it could be a bug in that version. I can agree that this is probably annoying, but for myself, this feature is the ultimate fallback really so it is not used my end.
Usually I have everything that I need, and if I don't then, of course, I run out and buy the CD.
(Dramatic pause and coughing fit)
However, I have not done any music videos for a while, so my collection is pretty low, but although they are pretty especially if you are showing on a second monitor, but do people actually watch music videos?

Mark
Never take my eyes off the boogie pimps video..You should put it on and see how many people do watch it. Ha ha 😁
If you want a video to watch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y34jC4I1m70
I am not into black women, but hell, I don't need to watch porntube, just watching her carry that cake is enough,
I will see if I can replicate the bug based on what you have posted here. The reason there is no cancel button on the search screen is 2 fold...
1/ It causes problems if it is downloading and some clicks cancel and then does another search.
2/ There is one but it doesn't show up for some reason (Another BUG)
So I could fix point 2 above then work on fixing the issues with point 1 but that is a lot of work and the downloading bug is still there. Or I just fix the downloading bug...
I am going to change the way the timeout value works that should ultimately be enough of a work around if I can't fix the actual download bug.
That would be much appreciated as for me it's the best skin I've used as it's quick and pleasing on the eye and performs as well as any pub jukebox but even faster with my setup.Tthe internet option is excellent and if the timeout is sorted it would be perfect. I'll keep watching this space..Do I assume all skins have the same timeout issue..

Do I assume all skins have the same timeout issue..
The only way to find out is try a different skin and see how you get on but I would assume you'd have the same problems as the time out is hard coded into E-Touch.
The skin tool does have a search page that is skinable but it doesn't work in the main E-Touch app. I can only assume this is a legacy page from older versions of E-Touch as it now simply uses the searching.gif combined with the Page_Black.jpg.
Yeah you only have two search pages that are skinnable, however, I think he means he is getting stuck on the now searching screen, rather than an actual page. I know what I meant.
Hi Sparkie, yep the time out issue is in the app not the skin.
If you get this sorted Baz it would be much appreciated. To be fair it's the only real fault my users have had with the juke. The only other issue which is obviously out of your control is the mis-naming/tagging of some online stuff, which I sometimes find amusing.
For example someone searched for Frank Zappa - Florentine Pagon and after hitting play got Bronski Beat - Hometown boy ;D
Thanks for everyone's feedback will wait for barry to sort it out as i agree its the only thing wrong for me. Everything else is flawless and i tag my own stuff so no issues there..
Once the timeout is sorted all will be sweet..
