also, were u planning on implementing scrolling filenames in the near future? thanks!!!

Just tried it.. with the exception that FrodoDVD coudn't play the sound of the DVD I used (and MPC can), it worked like a charm.. enbbeded and everything.

I noticed indeed the problem with the config tool not "detecting" the External DVD settings.. but it does save them correctly. Just check the darn box, set the Path and the DVD Title to "FrodoDVD" (without the quotes). Idealistically (since it is a full screen app.) You should probably run it without a skin (since otherwise the screen will be smaller -- but this will prevent you from moving around the software without closing out of FrodoDVD.

how do u add apps to the apps screen? thanks again

Just comment the four lines in your .skin files and that info will "magically" disappear.. in addition, you can move the date/time position by changing the X,Y positions in the same .skin files..

The Apps are added by adding folders and .INI files in the same exact style used by mediacar, I simply made it use the same stuff for better compatibility and migration...

did you hit "back" right away or something ? cause I've never seen that.. I'll check on it..

about launching external apps... i never really used mediacar, so im not sure how to get external apps going in here, what files do i put in folders? and what do i need to change in the ini file? thanks again bud, i really appreciate it!

Well, try not to push it too hard being so fast! hehehe it just takes time processing MPC start, loading skins etc... That's why Mediacar was so slow, it always waited everything to start before showing you anything (to prevent this kind os stuff).

Attached you'll find the default Launch folder structure of mediacar.. just follow the examples and you'll be set.
