You can't use the skip song functions from the terminal or set the volume but you should be able to use play now, play next and add to queue perfectly fine.

After looking I think I might use a fm modulator and receiver and to run the music near the terminal side. I want to set up a unit in the basement and upstairs and have it play the same music without having to run wires between the floors. I will have to try and work on the runtime error and see if I can recreate it. I think I was testing out some of the buttons on terminal and the error occurred on the master. What buttons don't work on the terminal? For example can you skip to the next song on from the terminal or choose play now on a song?

thanks for the info!!

Terminal/Master set up is for situations where you want one central queue and the music played by one machine piped through as many speakers as you want. If you wanted the terminal to also produce music you would be better having them both set up as stand alone machines sharing the same library.

What runtime errors are you getting and on what machine i will try and help you out with that.

Things like this are normally codec related, i am not really the best at sorting these issues either. On my dev pc all videos work fine on my actual jukebox half of them don't have any audio even though i have installed the latest full K-lite codec pack. You could try setting the engine to 0 in the freebox.ini and use the old engine.

I am trying to network two computers together and use the master/terminal. I have it set up to the point where I can use the terminal and can add songs to the queue on the master but nothing plays on the terminal. Will the songs only play on the master or should they play on both the terminal and master at the same time? I have read a few topics on this but didn't seem to be able to find a straight answer as to what exactly can be done on a terminal. Are there many features that don't work on the terminal? I have tried a few things and some seem to give a runtime error on the master. Just wanted to see what I needed to hide for buttons and what all worked.

thanks,

Hi all. just hoping for a little help. The music side of the program works flawlessly but my videos freeze right at the start. I am running xp with nvidia video card and dual monitors. I also have wmp11 and the klite codec pack. The videos run fine when i play them externally through wmp11 but as soon as i try through freebox they freeze. I am also using v6.0 of the software. Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Part of the problem is that an exact match takes a little longer. I will see what i can do for you in the next release.

must have missed a comer out or something

  That confuses me... if it's an option then I can turn it on and be satisfied. If the option is turned off (and is set that way by default I guess) then how are the rest any worse off?

Surely it's important to return the actual song you have selected.

Or, alternately, not have it as an option (if that's the problem) and just do a two-tiered lookup. Search and return exact match first if it exists... if no entry found then search (on first two words of artist/title or however it's done) and return as per the current process. That way I can get the exact match if desired to separate the Elton John versions of Candle In The Wind but those that just want any version/don't want to rename/retag to accommodate/ignore "featuring"/"remix" etc. will also get their hit.

You have to have the box checked that says "Use Filename When Tag Not Found" that should solve your problem.
