Thread: CENTRAFUSE new fully functional carPC software

This is why frodo player is still better.

Certainly a matter of taste. Because this is exactly the way I like it! I don't browse by artist, genre, album etc, I browse by directory and this frontend seems to work the best for me.

off to get managed direct x and see what happens

downloaded managed direct x but still no joy. unable to play file.

good stuff here

krog: I will look into the special character problem

mpattonm: It is written in C# and uses .NET 1.1. All my audio/video is done with DirectX.

Mathew230: Nothing in my program should have changed the way users logon to your computer, not sure about this. Try looking in control panel, users and look for "Change the way users logon to this computer". See if there are some settings you can change.

Cris: Make sure you get the newest version of PhoneControl and also make sure it has the remote server turned on in your PhoCo config file.

bertybassett: Make sure you have DirectX installed and Managed DirectX. Then remove your config.xml from the system folder and re-run CENTRAFUSE. This will make you re-run setup.

Cat Monkey: I have ideas I plan on implementing to help improve the music manager. All in good time. People have different views on the music manager. I went with a concept that would be very familiar to mp3 player and iPod users, which is the playlist based. Also I didn't have enough room on the main music to fit the music list, my global nav, and somewhere squeeze another touchscreen friendly listview with artist and album. I am going to add shortcuts to the music manager to make playling albums possible with only one click..

skydiver: Try "Destinator_3_[Dest3.1]" to embed destinator 3.

strohj: I do plan on supporting xm very soon. Check out my website http://www.fluxmedia.net and flick on forums and you will see a list of planned features for the next version.

great softw...just installed and flew by...not much time to test (so maybe I'll be saying something stupid but...) what about pause and stop buttons on music mode? a "music browser" a little bit more like frodo's directory mode would be great...apart from that.....5star work!!

BrianMay: If you hit Play it toggles between Play and Pause. I didn't see the need for a stop in the global nav, since Pause would do the same. Lots of headunits leave stop out. I did it to save space.

great as I said...I just had a look at it...bue the "music browser" "request"'s still up you ought change it...it make your sftw (almost) flawless

BrianMay: I'll come up with a music managment that everyone likes... give me a little time.

thanks for all the nice comments guys... Makes it all worth it
