    embedded video question

    gday, i just want to know, if my idea is possible. ok, we use visualisations while playing mp3's, and they are embedded in a small portion of the screen, could i do this with a music video? just embed it into the same visualisation position, instead of having to play the clip through the dvd player? so, if i loaded a playlist with just mpgs, could i have them playing, and be able to close the video part, while still listening to the song? like winamp can do.

    and another question, to save making a new thread, can i make visualisations goto fullscreen, like video, and come back when i touch the screen?

    1-Possible: Yes, Implemented: No -- Although you could "trade" the visualization support in order to embed the Video window in it's place if you wanted. You can most definitely add the video extensions on the music section of RRConfig, then you should be able to play their audio portion at will.

    2-Double Click the Vis -- if setup right it goes Full Screen. In AVS, 1 touch of the screen returns.. in MilkDrop you have to set a different resolution. Please do a search on visualization plugins as there are plenty of threads about it.

    I guess my question is, if you have music videos on your PC, why don't you just play in the video player instead of running them mute in a window embedded on your audio screeen?

    thanks guino, i'll have a play with a skin i guess, try it out, and with the visualisations, when i tried double click it tries to go fullscreen, but just kicks back and embedded visu goes black. that was with milkdrop, avs didnt even want to embed. im using winamp 5.08. and that was done on the inside pc, so i'll go try it out on the car.

    and to J187, i want to play them in the music window, because they are music, i would like to be able to not have to switch to video, just to listen to music that has a video clip. i probably wont use it that much myself, but passengers in the car might like it, and well, i just want to see if it will work.

    Yeah, it would be cool... for example,you have a music video, or several music videos... but you might be driving (and then you dont want full-video in view), or you want to go to GPS to add a destination (music shouldnt stop, even though there is a video with it)...

    Hi!
    I have the same problem, but in the opposite situation.
    On my PC (english xp pro with sp1) everything works, in the car (laptop with italian xp home sp2) when i try to get the milkdrop full screen it immediately switch back from full screen.

    I have another problem. Every time I start RR the balance is set all on the left speaker.
    Bye

    Right after you start, if you go into the mixer, what is the Balance bar set to ? RR has nothing to mess with the mixer on startup.. it only queries it.. in any case, you should be able to load a mixer preset automatically as a last resort..
