Uncheck use advanced screen settings. Or go into Frodoplayer ini
and set them manualy under the [ADVANCED] section.

Frodo

Edit: My fault.. Love this program!


No Dashes.

On my play screen, and my playlist screen and anywhere that would display a name. There is no dash in between the Artist and the Title. Additonally you cannot change between the Artist - Title, Title - Artist, and title only. Any changes to that will go back to Artist - Title. (Again.. with no dash).

I am using the latest version with the patch.

This is a follow up to the last post that I feel now should be a bug.

There is a problem when phrasing a file, or ID3 tags. If there is for example, a dash, or & symbol or any non letter or number it doesn't display it. So if I have an Artist of: "Bob & Bob" it will only show "Bob Bob". Same with dashes and other things. I say this is a bug (although not bug I know.. it just requires more coding to allow these extra characters to be shown.)

Actually I have them filtered out. But I will be making that customizable in the future.

I just started using frodo player in leiu of terrible no good very bad problems with mediacar... and i have run into a few kinks.

1) Im sure this was mentioned everywhere, but i cant seem to find what the deal is with the reversed scrolling. Also, i swear the thing is screwing with y head, the scrolling reverses it self repeatedly leaving me turning around again and again trying to find a certain artist in the list. Perhaps its just too many late nites in the garage with the spraypaint.

2) Can i readily assume you double tap the vis to get it fullscreen? When i do so, the screen goes black, then a few secs later just goes back to the player.

3) When hitting the scrolling arrows for the artist area, it seems that in some combinations of timed taps the on screen keyboard comes up and i have to close it.

4) Concerning the on-screen keyboard, whenever i tap in a letter, it waits for a few secs, then puts three letters in there. When using my ps2 keyboard, it types in fine.

5) The most problematic problem i am having: most of my mp3's do not play at all. For instance, when i hit "linkin park" for hte artist, all my linkin park songs show up. It seems that all the songs from reanimation and hybrid theory simply do not play. When hitting the play button it just sits there, no vis or song-time movement. But when hitting songs from meteora, or many other albums, it works just fine. I have all my mp3s tagged as id3v2 with some lyrics and all cover art, im not sure if that has anything to do with it. All have similar naming convetions as well, i cannot seem to find the difference.

Yeah, it screws with my head too

I think the problem here is not with frodoplayer, but windows media player. Are you able to run full screen visualizations in wmp? I had this same issue and had to go into windows media player tools/options/plugins/visualizations and set each visualization to my screen resolution. That lets me double tap to get full screen. However, I still can't get back to frodoplayer on some of the visualizations by tapping the full screen visualization (works on some - not on others).

Do they work in wmp? I had a few that would not play in frodoplayer, but I found that they wouldn't play in windows media player either. I did a search for some codecs that allowed me to play them.

Hope that helps with some of your issues..

more news on that some-songs-not-playing thing

ive narrowed down the issue to all the songs that have id3v2 tags, it will not play. it will not play in wmp either, but it does play in winamp and creative media center

i even took a song, used winamp to erase the id3v2 tag, and it then worked just fine in frodo player... i would hope theres a way around this or else there goes alll teh countless hours i spent tagging the lyrics and album art lol
