Title: Suggestion : Options Backend Features
Post by: Mark Norville on July 24, 2015, 10:56:20 AM
Now that I have a better knowledge of Skin Tool I thought that I would make a suggestion regarding the back end of the software.

An option to update the library in the back end would a welcome addition to I would imagine a lot of people or too update at a certain time of the day, week.

I have not messed around too much with the CVR or other tools, but I would imagine some of those could go into the back end also.

Regards

Mark

This can already be achieved by using batch files and the switches of the config. You can automate the shutting down of the jukebox and have it run a bat file so what you suggest is already there.

I thought you said you was English mush? Speak in bloody English, you was only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!

Slow down a bit I am almost there but not quite yet lol I have mastered placing a button and knowing what it does, once I get a bit more knowledgable, then I can look at what you mean.

Just a quick question

When I am creating a skin, the skin tool is not creating a cover file, so I am using them from another skin. I am making a 1600x900 skin, if I use the cover file from 800x600 for example would that mess up the display of the album art?

You can use any cover file then just reposition the covers in the tool and save the cover file back out with a new name.
