Cool new features. is there a plan to enable the "Auto fullscreen for KAraoke/Video on single screen"? This will be very useful.. Thanks.
There is a good chance i will get that in the first maintainance release, so probably V5.0.1 as currently i am working on changing the database file structure and that is quite time consuming.
Fan Art rocks. Thanks Barcrest for listening to my request. ;)

How did I get it to work? I threw up the ACDC.jpg file in the same folder as the FanArt and guess what it reads it and wham. Just make sure that the artist name for the image is spelled the same way as the artist.cvr file.
I'll throw up a link for some fan art for download at 1280x or better resolution for this demo. It autoscales so it fits very well and looks nice.
Nice to see a new version out buddy. I am testing it now.
The original config went fine, but as I am going back an re-running the config program I am getting errors.
I went back into the config to tell it to generate the image thumbnails, and it completes the first step fine, but on the second step I get this following error: "Run-time error "75": Path/File access error", then it closes out the config program.
Playing with it now, and it looks good. The ability to have more songs listed in the track listing screen, and more albums showing on the cover screen is great. (Now just have to figure out how to make a skin to use these featurs. ;D)
There is one bug that is still there that is driving me nuts. After you build your library for the first time, everything is great. But if you add music, and update the library, booth the GENRE and YEARS folder get a No-Genre.cvr and No-tag.cvr file respectively, and ALL the albums in your library show in them. From what I can tell, the new albums arent added to the original .cvr files. Makes it hard to use the update library feature, as the years and genres are never correct after the original build.
Oh, I also would like to add that the ablility to add fan art is a huge plus. Now to start collecting Band/Artist photos in high res. (It's a never ending process to make your library as close to perfect as possible, isn't i?)
This is great! I have been looking forward to the fixes. Good job Barry.
Couple things I have noticed so far is that I have random play settings set with specific artists and it is playing artists that are outside of my selected artists. This was not a problem in version 4.
I'm also having issues with changing skins from 800x600 to the 1024x768 screen. When I select the 1024x768 skin and press load skin the window does not seem to resize with it. This happened in version 4 as well. I'm still tracking down whether or not this is a hardware(video card/monitor) issue. I have a 17" ELO touchscreen running at 1024x768 and a 15" ELO touchscreen running at 1024x768 and seem to have the same issue on both. The 17" monitor's native resolution is 1280x1024 so I'm not sure if it matters that I am not running it in it's native resolution. Anyway, I'm still testing this portion hardware-wise and if it continues to be a problem in both v4 and v5 I will post a new thread in the appropriate forum.
Thanks again for the updates, looking forward to the final(non-demo)..... :beer
I have to agree with newman25 on changing the skin from 800 to 1024. It is a huge pain. The first time you do it, you have to set a hot key to close the program down, make sure save settings on exit is on, then change skins. At this point the save settings and exit program keys are not visible on the screen, so you have to exit the program with the hotkey set, then reload the program. (Or just change the default skin in the .ini file if you know what your doing. :))
Hmmm, I thought I was nuts. Sometimes I notice when I go from 800x600 to 1024x768 it shrinks the screen like its going to go to a higher res then it kinda hangs out for a bit then well it switches after you push some buttons here and there.
Sweet!! Thanks for all the hard work! I'm sure it's very time consuming doing this. Anyway we can buy V5 before the end of beta? That was we can get some $$ in your hands now. You deserve it!!
I hope I'm not speaking out of turn, but I'm pretty sure its done beta testing and there might be a glitch or two that I know hes working on, but From what I understand its gone V5 Final. Costs for upgrades and whatnot beats me.
I do agree hes been busting his hump a lot working on this and really deserves the credit. The beta testers just kept harrassing him for more and more addons and of course caused more and more bugs that he had to chase. Make sure you keep giving him requests because he doesn't need to sleep. ;)
LOL. Ok, Mr. Barcrest. Can I send some $$ your way? And how much should I give? You can blow it all on coffee for your sleepless nights..
I'm digging the Fan Art implementation. Looks awesome! Nice idea kizer. So... I just download some large artwork and place it in the fanart folder, name it based on the artist name in the tag and I'm good?
Yeah the files go in folders like this.
(http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr351/links4jeeps_kizer/computer/folders.jpg)
Just keep in mind I just threw Barcrest an Idea. Hes the man. ;)
I have some and I planned on throwing it up. I just haven't done it yet, but I will I promise. I more or less got it from here and there and I'll see if I can find a good source so I can share.
I think there was some talk about having a depository so we can all share, but that hasnt' really been developed. I have no problem hosting that as well to spread the love some.
you can grab it doing an image search on google and selecting the size as large or wallpaper. I grabbed a few that way.
Ok, here is some images. ;)
http://www.iamkizer.net/freeboxjukebox/FanArt/
I plan on adding more and releasing them in packs so you don't have to download them one by one. Please do not hot link to the images for other purposes.
If anybody has some that I don't have listed please double check to make sure before sending them and feel free to email me at share.fanart@gmail.com Please use the subject of: FanArt or something so I know its not spam.
I will not be answering emails for request of images, but I may send back a quick thank you for any images sent.
Currently most of the fan art is 1280x720 because its primarily formatted for a wide screen tv, but I'm sure it will work fine for us. Please no bad images because it just means I have to delete them and waste my time.
I'm thinking it would be best to start a thread in General Discussion thread so this is easy to find and others can do image requests so we can get a large collection going for everybody to use. Here you go.
http://www.freeboxjukebox.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1326
Playing around with the fan art, and I just thought of something. (Ignore it if it is too hard!)
How about if you have more than one picture of a band, you could name them: BAND 01.jpg, BAND 02.jpg, etc.
EX:
Rush 01.jpg
Rush 02.jpg
Rush 03.jpg
Then, when the coverart is shown, it picks a random one to display.
Again, probably too hard to code, but I thought that I would throw it out there.
This isn't to hard to add... i would probably do it like kizer suggested.
Would it be possible to provide a config option to specify the user config folders locations like Fanart, Attract, Skins, Playlists etc
That way we can kick them out of the program files folder and when there is a software upgrade there is no danger of deleting. Of course there is the added benefit that user is not messing around in the program files directory then.
Basically the same idea... the default could reside in the main structure but give the ability to set it elsewhere.
Just noticed that when you select a song from the top 10 and go back to the screen, the selection is sort of blocked with lines. Anybody else notice that?
Thanks
The latest is .02 in the beta section... but it probably still happens as i have not changed anything there i will look tonight for you.
Just got a chance today to try the version 5 demo and I love the new features. One thing I noticed was that when I had albums that had only one track, such as singles, that when you selected them from the album screen it would bring you to a screen that looked similar to the now playing screen and at the bottom were the play options. This is fine (guessing that it was a new design feature for version 5) but when I click the album art that is showing or the back button it takes me to a history screen showing the history for that album. I can then go back to the main album listing screen. Don't know if this is a bug or not. Just thought I would let ya know. Also with these single track albums the quick jump covers for albums by the same artist don't show up.
P.S. Albums with more than one track do not do this and go right back to the album screen when I hit back.
