Thread: Official Bug report

Just off to try v1.83 in my car!!

I noticed a tiny bug with the default gps skin file. i.e. The height of the mode/font/track buttons need changing to 058. No biggy!

this happens as embedded or not.

It works fine (embedded) for me in win2k pro/MediaCar 1.83
Under "Window search string" you must enter the app name.
WinDVD4 plat "Inter WinDVD Platinum"
WinDVD5 plat "Inter WinDVD Platinum 5"
BTW no quotes around.
But when it run, MediaCar is NO WHERE to be found on task bar (no problem for me).
If run WinDVD in regular mode instead of full Screen, the "Close" button of MediaCar is show so you can close the module. If WinDVD is run at full screen, you can't close the module because the close button is NOT there so you have to switch it back to regular mode to close DVD module.

Thought I'd stick this in the bug report....

I find that if I go back into the mediacar setup and change nothing. the MP3 player works again. Sounds to me as if that tells the mp3 player to look at my top level folder again.

BTW the folder problem only happens when I exit the mp3 player after choosing an emputy folder.

Ok, I was just wondering what you guys were doing wrong when...it happened on mine!! run-time error '13' type mismatch blah blah blah

Coyote, it seems to stem from the "CurrentPlaylistRecursive=" line under [GeneralAudio] in the Enviroment.ini file. Whatever variable should go on the end (1 or 0, true or false, I think) is not being written to the file.

Edit:
By the way, this is after you have choosen Select+ and then exited from MediaCar....I take it, that it should either be true or false, seeing as you stick false on the end after setup?

You are right laidback, that is the problem.

A corrections patch is now available.

This bug exists in all MediaCar released versions but I'll post it now.
It is obvious which file names are invisible.

Yes, I know this bug also since the first version, the problem is that the VB Label control cuts his content only on space character, then if the name of your file has no space and is too long to be displayed entirely in the Label then it completely cuts his content.

I search for a solution to this.

Not a big deal. Just reporting it.
Thanks
