Thread: Official Bug report

Hi Coyote.
I have this problem in the audio player. When you push the keys for previous or next song on the keyboard, don´t make nothing (on the touchscreen is OK). On video player any problem.
I simulate these keys with the keys of my steering wheel (with one interface to serial port) and now i can´t use these keys.

Thanks.

Sorry for my english.

Just, I have found this "bug", I don't know why but one line of declaration of variable was commented, maybe a keyboard press mistake during coding.

I will make a new patch in a few minutes

Correction patch V1.8.5.2 is uploaded

Thanks.

Coyote = code man machine

something I noticed while I was editing the skins is that MC crashes... and crashes hard...

I was editing the skin file for the audio browser, keeping MC open in the audio player editing then flipping over to the audio browser well I did this like 6 times and on the 7th time I clicked on the select + button and clicked on some music. it flips over to the audio player then a loud nasty high pitched noise started coming from my speakers I tried closing MC. it said no. I opened task manager killed it and the noise was still there. the end result to get rid of the noise was to restart my pc...

sweet coyote... I love this program even when it ****s up it ****s up in style.

This problem can only come from a Winamp crash, Mediacar don't make anything with the music then he can't generate this noise.

When I choose an album using the arrow keys or browse. It will pause for 30-60 secs after each track.

If I use the "select +" button it works fine.

I have my albums arranged like this

NAME OF ARTIST1
.........ALUBM 1
..................track1
..................track2
..................etc
..........ALUBM 2
..................track1
..................track2
..................etc

NAME OF ARTIST2
.........ALUBM 3
..................track1
..................track2
..................etc
..........ALUBM 4
..................track1
..................track2
..................etc

A few things I found:

1. skin support
BloodBoil and SpacedOut skins for Version 1.8.5 don't work in 1.8.5.2. The main menu works but when I open the audio player I get the following error message ''. (I don't know exactly if it's a skin problem or an application problem)

2. touchscreen usage
I use a touchscreen to control MediaCar and since the mouse cursor stays where I last touched the screen, the last button I used remains in MouseOver state with the ToolTip shown until I click (touch) somewhere else.
I personally would prefer it if there would be no MouseOver state and no ToolTips when I use the Touchscreen.
Since the 'hide mouse' option makes only sense to touchscreen users you could combine it with this option or consider an additional option like 'touchscreen mode' if the 'hide mouse' option doesn't necessarily imply a touchscreen...

3. button functionality
When you click the up or down buttons somewhere (playlist, browser, ...) repediately very fast, it only accepts every second click. I am a programmer myself and had that problem already in one of my programs. Two fast clicks are processed as a doubleclick so when you write the same code in a doubleclick on a button as you do in a singleclick, it should work.

4. file extensions
Two character extensions (like *.xm) still don't work. I tried the extension 'xm' and 'xm ' (without and with space as third character).

5. music player
The currently played song which should have yellow font (with standard skin) sometimes has white font like the other songs. I noticed this when loading a new playlist from browser and it starts with the first song and also when I start mediacar and it changes into audio player because of 'auto launch module: last used' setting.

6. keyboard list navigation
Pressing the up or down button repediately very fast in a playlist or in the browser doesn't work the first few key hits. It remains on the same list item. But after some hits the marker starts to move normally.

Keep up the good work!
