Bug Reports (FP 1.09 Take 3)

It could be just me, but when i come back from hibernation ( don't have an audigy ), the volume shows 0% even though i can hear sound. Well actually that happens sometimes...Other times, it seems to hang for a while before i can hear sound. Its bizzarre, but Frodoplayer seems to take longer than mediacar to play music after hibernating.
The other thing is more of a feature request than a bug. I would love for Frodoplayer to be able to allow us to use the directory mode more to be like that of mediacar...with FrodoPlayer right now, i have to re-build my database everytime before i can see them, even in directory mode.

BTW...FrodoPlayer with YAFP skin looks awesome.

Yeah, the drivers kinda suck... I don't know of any perfect solution for the M10K. I personally gave up on 5.1 surround for movies, went back to stereo and bought a cheap crossover that gives me independent control of front level, rear level, and bass level (it has the option to drive a stereo sub, or derive a mono sub channel from the stereo in).

Much more control, and the system actually sounds better in general for music... But movies, no luck. The big bonus of going this route, other than better musical control, is that I now have line-in and mic-in jacks free again, so I ran my XM into line-in, and a microphone in to let me run the computer as a bluetooth headset. And of course, the XM now goes to the sub correctly too.

Not bad for $60 shipped.

Okay... just nitpicking here,

But when I put visulation on in fullscreen mode its really choppy,
It's fine in the small window, and even if i open up WMP seperately and watch it in fullscreen, both of those are smooth
but not in frodoplayer fullscreen.

:I'm assuming this is because of the menu functions that are in frodoplayer fullscreen, and because the WMP fullscreen is resolution optimized or whatever

Still'd be nice if you could fix this...
please almighty monkey?

Sometimes the player shows elapsed time, instead of remaining even if its set to show the remaining time.

also if your playing mp3's from a CD and switch to XM mode, the cd does not pause. So you get both the audio from XM and the CD.

Can you have the navigation un-embed when you switch to XM? I like the embedded naviagtion, but when using XM, if I have not previously exited the navigation I cannot start a new instance of it while XM is in mini-mode.

It would be nice for it to unembed when XM is selected so when I go to Mini mode it is right there on the desktop for me, or something similar.

Woot.

yeah I agree with that, i'm running mine without embedding for that reason
