Thanks for finding that one. I knew there was a minor little detail in the code that I forgot. Its just getting to channel 247 and then it keeps counting up. Very simple to fix. A single line of code. I will post the fixed version Friday at about 8:30am eastern time on the website. Thanks for the input.

That was fricken awesome btw...

Nice to have a piece of software where you can just pop the developer a message and get a response in like an hour....

Thanks for the quick response... keep developing... I'm hoping to sport your FE for the '06 car show season and have something really beautiful to show! A few skins down the road and your creation is going to be absolutely perfect for what I need...

Would it be possible to have volume buttons added to the fullscreen video mode like in the dvd module. I have a lot of music videos but i have to exit out of the fullscreen to adjust the volume. Also would it be possible to have the volume be a global control so it stays the same in all different modules. Other than that i love the new features. It nice to actually be able to use my GPS while driving. Thanks Again.

If you turn off the constant hold checkbox in the ts config program, it works as it supposed to....

I can hold and set the button with my finger vs. using a mouse.

All the different modules actually have different windows components that they have volume settings for. In the Audio/Video module the volume is controlled and set for the windows media player component. The DVD has its own volume set in the program that was used (Mplayer Classic). The XM Module in controlled through the system Line In volume, and then the EQ takes care of the system CD, Wav, and Master volume controls. So there really isnt any way to have a volume control that generally covers all. I understand what you mean by having the volume control for mini bar mode. The only problem is that you run into real estate issues in this mode. I could try to squeeze in a couple more buttons in this mode, but it would make all of the buttons smaller. That or I could take out; say the fast forward and rewind buttons since you can manually do it with the progress bar, then what would I put in the top right and left corners where the volume currently is? Heh heh. Hmmmmm.... I will see about it in future versions. Thanks for input!

Runtime Error Fixed in XM Module while in list mode...
Problem-> When in XM Module in List Mode, while it updates the artist and song title, it gets to channel 247 then immediately gives an error...

Run-time error '5':
Invalid procedure call or argument

Resolution/Explanation-> This was do to a missing line in the code telling the list to go back to station 1 to continue to update the listing. This is now fixed.

Keep the suggestions and reports coming!

I think If you kept the volume and title bar at the top in the video mode it would be okay as long as it went away like the buttons on the bottom. I have no idea how to code so i don't know whats involved but its just a suggestion. Thanks for the reply

This is just a little thing that will go away once I get my full setup running with my correct motherboard and case.... (I'm using a dell laptop for my troubleshooting and diagnostics, with no "line in")

But, I only have a "mic in" on the laptop, so when listening to XM, I must pump the RCA's from the XM Direct Module through another source to get sound... as MI does not have to ability to pull sound from the Mic Input...

FP will pop sound if I run that FE with XM...so I know it's somehow possible, it may be of good use to allow switching of audio-in source on your Front End for XM, for those who don't have Line in's, but only Mic ins....

As I stated before... this is just a temporary issue for me and will go away once I get the MII12000 up and running... but thought you may wish to know...

Thanks for allowing input...

Thanks for finding that bug, Tim.
I thought it was me this whole time....

Red,
Is the media portion based of WMP? Should I be able to add visualizations to the WMP and then have the baility to use them in MI?

I Just to get my request for in for recursive directory search of a folder as well.....

Everything works well, I haven't updated my FE, but I will at lunch....

Thanks again, love what you have done with this.

Yes it purely relies on WMP, so if you change the visualization in WMP it will show it in Mobile Impact. Let me know of any good download sites for visualizations, I found a couple but they are kind of lame. Thanks.
