Hmmm...I thought it would be something like that...Quote:

Bloody amazing, I love it! $10 for the receiver, another $5 for a cable and frodo has made me love my carputer even more.
I am having trouble resuming from hibernation though. I have the program configured to launch from frodoplayer. No serial mouse present. When I hibernate by pressing the power button everything works out fine. but... I'm using the fake ups trick as my shutdown controller and when the ups service sends the puter into hibernation while SATRADIO app is running I can resume but it doesn't look like the reciever is being reinitialized. I get no sound.
What's really interesting about this is until ninjamonkey added the new auto-reconnect feature on mapmonkey, I was having problems reconnecting to my gpsmouse when I resumed from a ups service induced hibernate. Also I am wondering if ups induced hibernation is responsible for frodo not resuming volumes properly. When I resume frodo my master and wave volumes are zero.
So I guess the real question is, what's the difference between ups and power button induced hibernation? Is there one? Is there a registry entry that needs to be tweaked? A fix would be nice, but I'll be setting up a PIC soon as my power controller soon so I don't absolutely need one. Just reporting strange system behavior.
Cheers and thanks again for the software.

Don't know if I ever posted these Sendmessage/Postmessage codes.
So here:
Code:Window Title "FRODOSATRADX"
Window Class "ThunderRT6FormDC"
WM_USER = 1024
WM_USER + 1 'Previous
WM_USER + 2 'Next
WM_USER + 3 'Select/Play
WM_USER + 4 'Up
WM_USER + 5 'Down
WM_USER + 6 'Hide Current Selected Channel
WM_USER + 7 'Hide Channel (wparam = channel)
WM_USER + 8 'UnHide Channel (wparam = channel)
WM_USER + 9 'Select Channel (Must be in list) (wparam = channel)
WM_USER + 10 'Select Channel (Doesn't need to be in list) (wparam = channel)
WM_USER + 11 'Play Main Favorite # (wparam = favorite)
WM_USER + 12 'Mute Toggle
WM_USER + 13 'Mute On
WM_USER + 14 'Mute Off
WM_USER + 15 'Volume Up Percent
WM_USER + 16 'Volume Down Percent
WM_USER + 17 'Exit
WM_USER + 18 'Add Favorite Current Selected
WM_USER + 19 'Add Favorite (wparam=channel)
WM_USER + 20 'Delete Favorite (wparam=channel)
WM_USER + 21 'Delete Favorite Current Selected
WM_USER + 22 'Toggle Min/Max
WM_USER + 23 'Max
WM_USER + 24 'Min
....and, if I did this right, here's the .gml file (rename from .gml.txt to .gml).
Thanks Frodo!
Frodo - I'm still experiencing problems w/ BSOD when running FSRX embedded in Centrafuse. I mentioned this to veetid, and he made a suggestion to incorporate additional code in FSRX.
As always, thank you for your hard work.
Here is my question, and the response/suggestion:

unembedded, and/or sent a message to close. So be sure veetid is doing
that.
I will check to see if I forgot to add the code to close in there
on destroy or close, but I believe the major problem will be the above.

Thanks Frodo, I will pass the information along to veetid.
Well I set this up last week in my car and it was working 100% perfectly without any problems...
Yesterday I setup FrodoCam with my Dazzle 80, and all of the sudden I get really high CPU usage out of FrodoSatRadio... Anybody care to take a guess as to what's going on? I only installed the Dazzle drivers, so I figured it wouldn't have any effect on the sat radio app, but I guess I was wrong.
This happens whether it's launched by itself or from within FrodoPlayer, and the task manager shows nothing else running that could mess with it... CPU usage is in the high 90s-100%, and while it works it takes a LONG time for it to refresh the channel list as well as to basically do anything.
I suppose I could remove the Dazzle drivers and see if that helps (after all, Frodo XM > FrodoCam :)), but of course I'd like to have everything installed...
Any ideas?
My dad recently gave me a good suggestion for this app. Is it possible to configure girder, or something along those lines, to allow a specific channel to be selected by remote control? Say I want channel 150 for comedy. I push the numbers on the remote and that channel is selected. Is it possible?
I am having audio quality issues with the XM app. I have the EQ on, (simply because I have not gotten it to work without the EQ enabled) and I can hear alot of artifacts and noise. I have all of the EQ settings disabled, and everything set to its lowest point, but its still there. I do not get any feedback really, just weird artifacts and digital noise occasionally (popping and garbage)
Can I increase the priority of the XM app in windows? If so, how do I do that?
Also, how do I make it work without the EQ enabled? I am using a soundblaster live USB external soundcard.
Thanks
