Thread: Installing MediaCar

And is there a skin that doesn't have the radio button on since I won't be using it? Or is it optional?

thanks for any help you can provide!

TTT

download it....
....
open it by clicking on it (twice)
...
...follow the installation

, you might need video codecs or something...
other than that it is pretty clean
Somehow i think you'll figure it out,

havent seen any no radio skins though.

Do I need winamp as well?

Winamp's included with MediaCar

Once I have set the settings I dont seem to be able to get back to that screen to edit them? No help file either, probably just me being dumb...?

start-->programs-->Coyote MEDIACAR-->MEDIACAR SETUP

Thanks, I was looking in the app, for a button, never thought to try the menu!

Anyway, I was hoping to find how to set the timeout for the autohide, which is by default too fast for me, as soon as I have focused on the window it goes. I saw something called Shearch, but I am not familiar with this word, I thought maybe it was what the French call autohide, but it didnt seem to have any affect, certainly none on the autohide timeout.

Any ideas how to get these autohide toolbar windows to stay up longer?

Thanks

Not sure if there is a config setting for it.

However if you edit the settings.ini file in the root directory of mediacar, scroll down to find

DVDEmbeddedTimeOut=5

GPSEmbeddedTimeOut=5


and any similar ones, changing that figure to a higher number might work.


Have a play but make a backup of the original file just in case.

worked a charm, thanks!
