Blimey, I haven't even got 1.8 into the car yet!!

Hopefully I'll be a bit quicker this time.

The shutdown menu looks good.

Ive just had a quick play and i cant find any bugs, good work chap

New release and 5 people reading!!

I think you have a reputation Steve!!

i didnt bother with 1.8 as skully mentioned that 1.9 was making an appearance in a few days.

downloading it as we speak...must admit that the shutdown screen looks ace (although I will never use it)

[SWC_Scotty]

i love this front end but non of the animations run smooth on the car pc.

Should be fine though runnin a 1.5ghz will a gig of ram.

I really want to use this!!

How can I get FI to play flv files? They show up but they won't play. WMP won't play them either. Is there some kind of flash codec I need to WMP?

[Spawn]

You can always just convert the to wmv? No?

Love the new version, nice work as always steve. Looking forward to trying to copy over the stuff from the 1.8 dual skin

[kelmk]

flv is one of the supported file formats in fi.ini and CDR has another thread talking about playing flv files in FI so I know it's possible.

[CdRsKuLL]

Hi fella, I'm assuming its a flash issue. I have installed two flash things on my system. One through internet explorer.. and the other I downloaded the latest shockwave player.

hope this helps..

SPAWN - You will need to add
playlistlines=5
directorylistlines=5
to the skin.ini ..
Then you will need to change the next / prev to have buttondown / buttonup same with the scroll buttons OR you could copy the second screen sprite over to the single one and ament the buttons needed to display stuff on the other screen.

I will be moving on to the next version soon so didnt bother. I'm still running 1.8 in the car.

Spawn, I will have another look at the album art refreshing. I was usingf a variable sent from FI to the skin, but this was messy.. you could try adding/changing it to something like this, then it will refresh the albumart everytime it changes track..

onFrame (3) {
if (newpic <> _root.ALBUMART) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
newpic = _root.ALBUMART;
}
if (_root.TRACKNUMBER <> TRACKNUMBER) {
TRACKNUMBER =_root.TRACKNUMBER ;
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
}

this should work alot better. This code is in the .. Audio - Artandvis - albumartpriv script. Also change it on the dualscreen one.. and let me know if it works. I have done it here but cant really test it.

Any chance of adding a cancel option to the shutdown screen please for the occasions when the 'X' gets pressed once to often

Skully, thanks, I'll have a run at those tonight when I get home from work.
***edit, who am I kidding, i just did it now so I'll be late. That worked almost perfectly Skully. Ran thtough 25-30 songs and it didn't change 3 times, but I can see it refreshing each time, so it might just be that i was changing tracks too fast. Thanks again.

Dave, i was thinking the same thing but if you press anywhere else on the screen other than on the bar, it cancels it.

I hadn't tried that but yes, you are quite right!

[CdRsKuLL]

Hi spawn, might be a timing issue. Instead of sending it to (1) try sending it to (20) then at frame(22) do a gotoandPlay(1) again.. just might give it that little bit extra time to update the variable.

Yep as confirmed to cancel out of the exit screen just tap anywhere other than the bar... dont u love the hidden buttons.. lol
