Testing the new version. Nice Job Barry. I am not ready for the full purchase but will be soon. Still working on the collection. I would like to continue to provide suggestions.
1. I think the loading screen could use a major update. I think it still has an old look.
2. I don't think the the "All Albums" should be utilized in the Filter By screens. Maybe utilize the screen space with a continued run of albums.
3. I would like to ask and see if Lyric support could be added. Possibly be able to somehow switch from visual effects to let's say a scrolling lyric effect (highlighted text per line to sync with song) with the option to support a high def background similar to the album backgrounds.
4. Configuration setting to auto switch on video playback to play the current video automatically without having to click on the now playing.
5. Ability to be able to specify what database to load as the default database instead of defaulting to the last database built, (i.e. audio, video, radio, karaoke, etc..)
6. Enable pin access to allow numbers 0-9 not limiting to 1-9.
7. When adding video to play to queue, screen jumps back to default album view. I think after adding a video to play, screen should jump back to the album current selected so one can continue to add to queue without having to click on the album again. This may be working already with MP3's. I may have suggested this in another post. Will have to test with MP3's.
****Tested with MP3's. Same scenario. Screen jumps back to default album view and not current selected album so addition can be easily added to queue playlist within the same album****
8. Would it be possible to save queue on shutdown or application non-proper shutdown? Let's say the computer looses power or hard locks or a system process hangs and E-touch has to be closed. Anyway to retain the queue?
9. I would like to have a PIN set to enter configuration but want my kids to be able to shutdown the jukebox system. Is this possible without giving them the pin number to get into the configuration page?
Keep up the great work Barry. You have a nice application going for you.
Thanks, Shane

This is required if the filter screen is set to be the default screen so you can browse all albums. It can of course be hidden by altering the skin and some skins might not use it.

As proper karaoke is supported I do not see the need for adding lyric support at this time.

This is something that could be added, however it would probably be something like switch to now playing on track start.

You can specify the default/start up database in the jukebox options. It can be Audio, Video or Karaoke.

This could be added but I don't think it's vital. It would involve some skin changes.

Do you have the option selected for auto back on track selection?

This is how it should work. You have the option to save queue on shutdown however if the juke crashes the queue should be resumed on restart.

You can give them a delegate pin so they can only have access to shutdown the jukebox and not change any settings.
