General Discussion / Hi Honey I'm Home

Last post by Mark Norville - April 27, 2026, 01:49:13 PM

Well the biatch is back.

After moving home, the only thing left was to get a new touch screen monitor. So I just brought a cheap one from Amazon for £219 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GJYWGD5W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

So time to get back into the jukebox game. My plans are either try and pick up skinning where I left off or just download a skin and use that. I am still tempted by having a vertical juke as it will be hooked up to a vertical atgames legends mini so i might keep the style.

Choices, choices.

So I will be around for a while.

Regards

Mark

General Discussion / Attn Barry - Would like to pur...

Last post by pigseye - April 05, 2026, 12:54:13 AM

Hi Barry and all,
It's been 5 years since my last post and V3.0.26 with the Fink's 1950s Diner skin is still humming along on a windows 7 PC.  Family and I still love the jukebox.

But this old PC is starting to get flaky and the backup HDD that had the original installation file and skins crashed many years ago.

Any chance I can purchase another copy of V3 with Fink's 1950s Diner's skin?

Let me know how to pay and where to download.

Thanks,
Steve (pigseye)

Finally found where Windows 11 has hidden the files.  Look in  Users \ Appdata \ Local \ Virtualstore \ Program Files(x86) \ E-touch jukebox 10 ... It's as if they don't want you to find it

General Discussion / videos.rec and records.rec

in the older versions you would delete the videos.rec and records.rec in the root directory when updating the database to prevent duplication.  the question is where are those files in V10 are they hidden away or moved elsewhere.  what is the best way to create a fresh database

Support and Bug Reports / Hot Hits limit

Last post by fb28 - January 20, 2026, 01:20:05 AM

Looking back through some old posts there were discussions of how
to limit the number of entries that get recorded in the most_played.dat
file (where I suppose is where the "Hot Hits" page derives its data
from). I think that Barry proposed some methods of manually editing
the file - I guess to remove the entries with the least number of
plays.

Is there a way, or are there any plans to be able to set a limit
of entries so you could have a "top 40" or "top 100" or whatever
you desired, and have this done automatically - IOW without
requiring operator intervention?

Over time, that list, as well as the history data (which I realize
the commercial operators need for their reporting), can become
quite large. In the case of the Hot Hits, you can end up with
a very large amount of entries to weed through, with a good
many with only 1 play.

Doesn't need to be fancy, in fact just a simple registry entry would
suffice since setting up a limit would only (typically) be done once,
when the system is being built.

Thanks in advance...

Support and Bug Reports / Spin on This

Last post by fb28 - January 19, 2026, 08:53:51 PM

Using latest Beta of V10.2, with TouchGeniPattern_V9.0beta(1024x768) skin...

If you enable the Spin on This button/feature, it seems like the only way
to "cancel" it and go back to the normal album-view screen is to either:
click on an album cover (takes you to the track list, but returns to "random");
click on "most played" (if enabled) - takes you to page 1 album view (but what
if you're not using "most played"?); click on the slider bubble, but that
takes you to the page under the bubble, and isn't particularly intuitive or
user friendly; click on one of the arrow buttons - but if you were on album
view page 1, the left arrow button doesn't work (can't go below 1), and
if on last page, right arrow button won't work.

Is there anything I missed on setup that would perform the cancel function?
Is it possible to have a "Home" button that always takes you to album view
(and cancels Spin on This / Random if it's enabled)? Maybe just an exit or
return button that will cancel spin and bring you back to the album view?

Thanks...
