Thread: noob questions, can't find a FAQ

Hi,

As with most noobs, I'm planning my carputer and playing around with media engine (1.77f) to see if it will do what I want.

The FAQ link on the homepage just takes you back to the home page.....so I guess I'll just ask my dumb questions here and hope for the best

1) Is there a list of features / basic instructions? I had to run it and mess around to see what it does/doesn't do. A simple list like (music, gps, dvd, etc)

2) The playlist screen, what exactly does this do? I can't seem to make playlists with it, only select 1 song to play.

3) I get stuck in the playlist screen, I click the up arrow to get the sub menu displayed. Then I click the home icon, it says loading, but it returns me back,I am stuck in this screen. I have to kill ME to get out.

4) In that same sub menu, there is a little eyeball icon, clicking it seems to do nothing and I don't know what it should do.

5) When I play an mp3, it always displays "unknown artist", even though I had the ripper set the id tags. It knows the title ok though.

6) the volume seems to default to 0 the first time, kinda confusing

7) I saw in a post that for movies the progress bar is clickable, but I'm unable to do that? I.E. I click on it but nothing happens.


8) I saw a lot of posts relating to integration with winamp, I have no clue how to do that, will that let me have visualizations and such? I see nothing in the options menu's about that.

9) the installer forces you to install to C:, I hate that in installers

10) what is this written in? VB? C? Just curious.

11) external application, I guess you can only pick 1? That seems limiting.

I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining, I think it rocks so far and I'm probably just suffering from a lack of documentation

thanks,
