General Discussion / Re: Malware warning

« Last post by Mark Norville on Today at 08:58:10 AM »

No problems,

It is a shame that this happens, but there are quite a few programs that say to turn off virus checker before installation. Hyperspin (emulator frontend) is one of those.

I messed around with visual basic around 20 years ago now, and even back then it was always giving a false positive read. The worse thing was, microgreed made the programming language and their own virus checkers said that it was a virus checker.

Forward to 2020 and even microgreeds own emails sometimes end up in my junk folder. They cannot seem to get anything right.

Mark

Hi Frank,

It is a false virus report. This often happens when programs are written in visual basic. The download and program is 100% and free from malware, spyware and viruses.

Blokes - I wouldn't get to despondent

Probably more targeted

While waiting for a "Barry" to supply some info on another thread I have spent a bit of time over last couple of days looking at this version and some previous ones I found on the internet (Plus an early incarnation I found in my own computer which I had discarded as it didn't do music video.)

You are ahead of the game in some key areas particularly in the commercial space.

1. Second screen just works - goes straight to the second screen without issues and no setup (I am using one of the microsoft display adapters)
For people doing music video jukebox hire I imagine this would wonderful

2. It's connected - In conjunction with this it has customer feedback forms. They request a song - you put it on remotely - they put money in to play it
What business wouldn't like that. Better still connect it to the coin op counter, invoice the customer weekly, let them handle the cash. The fact that you don't need to go there very often (or at all if you can find an installer/repairer) means it is also highly scale-able.

3. Highly configurable - Not really an advantage over other software but you have all had a race to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear. Drunk people want easy not flash(I speak from personal experience). Interface needs to be as simple as "by artist" and "by song" with search function by either and really big onscreen buttons.The customers don't care about the interface - they care about the outcome. They don't search for albums and probably only play a few select songs from each. The big advantage digital jukeboxes have is you can just remove songs you don't play - it's a bit harder if you set up albums and one song is popular you have to leave the album.

4. Not subscription based.

My suggestion - tone down the skins (pretty is a fad / Function is forever), concentrate on secure remote interfacing.(Time saving for your commercial clients and through the feedback tool it will give satisfaction for their customers(they have been heard) hopefully driving return business to them and by extension to you)

At least set it up in your local areas to get enough money keep yourselves properly un-sober.
You should get some advantage out of a well made package.

Hi and welcome,

I shall try and answer your questions as best as I can, Barry can answer them more fully

1) $35 is for version license so in this case version 10. $70 is for lifetime and access to all the skins. $250.00 commercial license

2) Sadly no printable manual I think, I cant remember if there is a text file in the directory

3) The demo is time limited so will reset after a while

Regards

Mark

General Discussion / Swapping from Media monkey to freebox jukebox

« Last post by Kahl on January 23, 2020, 10:20:23 AM »

Righto - I have played around with freebox jukebox - like it enough to swap to it

A few questions though
1. $35 / $70 / $250 - I am not interested in Coin OP - does the $250 get me anything else that I don't get with the others(Not adverse to paying more if it is value adding)

2.Is there a printable user manual for this which I can download (Old school I know - I do other strange things as well - eg I make phone calls with my phone)

3. I did have this working to send the music video to a second wireless display but it stopped - I assume it stopped because I have had it loaded for too long with out paying(hopefully I get a yes to this)

Note to anyone answering - I have zero knowledge about social media / internet acronyms. If you could see your way clear to refrain from using them it would be appreciated. The alternative will be myself looking even dumber to my children as I request them to decipher.

Thanks in advance for any help
