Thread: Taking bugfix requests for 2.3.7

Phat, is it possible to show the Artist/Track text bigger and possibly even scroll while listening to audio while in the Nav screen? the text is very small and sometimes impossible to read.

Sometimes, when I have shuffle turned on, and go to the music menu from the home screen, it can take altmost 20 seconds of showing the load screen before the music screen comes on and the music starts playing. Sometimes it takes less time so I don't think this is so much a bug as it is a little annoying. Not a big deal if there is too much coding to be done.

These last two are feature requests rather than bugfix requests but I'll post 'em anyway.

Since you are working on the video player, would you be able to put a progress bar so that it is clickable to go to that part of the video? also a small time counter somewhere in the auto-hide menu?

This last request might be of interest to others as well. Would you be able to put an option in the setup menu to have the nav program load up in the background as ME is loading? or maybe just after ME has finished loading and starts up without seeing it so that it is immediately available without having to watch the nav prog load and acquire location.

Thanks Phat if you are able to get to any of these.

I believe this is something that can be adjusted in the skin, but not sure... I will try to look into it.

I have a hard time tracing down bugs when the description begins with the conditional "sometimes". What do you say we revisit this when you can reproduce it all of the time?

So far the "Sometimes" issue is the only one that sounds like it may be a bug. When I say bug I mean error in programming.

I'll see what I can do on these since they're both items I would also like to see and at least the slider has been requested numerous times. Unfortunately the position slider will be a chore.

This one I will have to relegate to the "I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole" area. There are way too many variables to deal with when trying to load an application and find it's main window handle while preventing it from showing or stealing focus from the host application. I wish I could improve this, but it's one of those things that I'd rather see get re-coded from scratch and I'm not volunteering to be that mule. If MediaEngine only supported one GPS app this would be remotely possible, but unfortunately this is price you pay for flexibility. Sorry!
