OK, just a quick update.

Tried it upping the volume, and tried scrolling through albums with the keyboard.
That works fine. Not as convenient as the touchbuttons but it works.

Mappoint as an External app, and Playing MP3s, if you select the external APP, section directly from the music screen, the music continues.

Haven't been able to check whether songs will continue after the current one ends yet, as I just did a test to make sure it keeps playing.

After running ME2, closing it (using it as a desktop app not a shell ATM) and restarting it, it remembers volume control, without the safe volume resume being checked. Nice.
After hibernating from the shutdownbutton (nice feature, nice to see a request option implemented) and resuming, the volume is correctly set still.

That helps narrow it down. This is really odd however since touchscreen buttons obviously work for most ppl. I'm going to pmsg you some questions about your setup and / or have CarComp work with you as he's had more experience dealing with the touchscreen options.

We're not terribly concerned with whether music continues with external apps running, the fact that you can get it to keep playing by loading external apps from the touchscreen button is actually a bug, hence the other post about someone having problems at the track end. When the gps enabled M/E comes out you'll be able to swap to gps and back w/o stopping the music.

Now if we can just tackle this touchscreen volume issue. I wonder if this could be related to your touchscreen calibration. Were you using a previous version of M/E before this release? Are you able to click on objects on that side of the screen on the windows desktop?

Make sure you don't have another process running that's holding the port open. If you exit M/E while the database is rebuilding, the program will remain resident until all the associated threads have released (i.e. the database update proggy).

The fact that you're seeing multiple entries in the log indicate that the application that's running in the backgound is in a loop. Guess what happened when i just tried launching M/E twice? You guessed it. Look for a fix for this later tonight or monday, but in the mean time just make sure all instances of mediaengine.exe are shut down.

WOHOOO its working

Like you say it looks like it was the IRServer software which auto loads every time. I've closed this and M/E now accepts my remote control!

Looks like it actually worked sometimes with IRServer running as it has worked previously.

Cheers for your help!! and a brilliant piece of car software now!

OK, just a quick update for anyone watching this.

I did a recalibrate of the touchscreen to be on the safe side (full 25 pointer).

Also I changed the way the touch panel worked as a mouse, from click on press (options, click on press, click on release, and normal) to normal. I also disabled the left/right click applet.

I then tried media engine again. Buttons now work as expected.

Works as shell, and as application.

Managed a strange thing though.
Had an album running in MP3. managed to get to the media library, and select a DivX movie.

The movie started. but the MP3 Album also restarted, after pausing to view the library.

Also the screens randonly flicked between music and movie, and then when I clicked the home button, all three screens.

Very weird listening to the soundtrack of Debbie does Dallas, with a Marilyn Manson backing track. Especially as it was cycling between classic porn, and track listings. Like watching one of those late night dutch Satellite TV station music video shows.

Select Browse Media, then Build New Playlist. Press Search button. Select any kind of search (artist, title). The OSK appears but you can type only one character. then you can scroll through it but no button work. By pressing Quit button, the program goes back to the Browse Media.

I cannot make the automatic file synchronizer sync OGG files. I have added the OGG extension to the list of supported audio extensions in the 'directories and startup' tab of settings menu. I have also tried making ME sync .ogm and .avi files with no success. In both cases, the extension was on the list of supported file types.

I am running a Win2k Lite install with fully updated versions of ME 2.0, WMP9 and DirectX 9.0b.
512MB RAM
60BG HD (2 NTFS partitions)
900 MHz Pentium M
(Fujitsu Lifebook, P5010D)

A note.
I have been able to make oggmux (*.ogm) files play in ME, by installing the following codecs, and including OGM as a supported video extension.

The OGG Direct Show filters, and a subtitle mixer, available at: http://tobias.everwicked.com/
The proper Video codec (Xvid or Divx)

You cannot change the audio or subtitle tracks however, without mucking about with things outside of ME.

Updated the .exe today but am still getting an error every now and again, 2 small windows pop up one saying switch to and retry, somehting about application is already in use? does this mean anything to you,

Also when running the VIs, the screen somtimes freezes while playing, so the vis just sitts there but the music still play's, then after a while it will come back.

Another thing, when a track is finished playing the Vis stops and goes back to the playlist screen, rather then just playing the next track and keeping the vis on screen.

Still impressed with it though, I'm sure the little niggles will be ironed out
