Thanks for the help to both of you. Works great now.

Your welcome took me a while to figure out I needed a directory/folder list in the skin.

well I took my own advice, just thought, what sort of skin does something similar.

yer im getting this and it also seems to be using more CPU% than it used to. and when i enable the transition=0 the video seems to be very glitchy and take up 100% CPU.

Im only using the M10k but it was fine in the last version...

The only change i have made from upgrading versions is adding the transition key into RR.ini

I am having the same problem. Also affects my mappoint interface that is also supposed to drop down after 2 seconds. Playing video is choppy as well.

I loaded back 050206 until this can be resolved. Transitions are choppy on my 2.8ghz machine.

disable the transitions on those screens that are causing the problems.

or altogether

i have a 2.6GHz in my car, and initially (beta) the transitions were slow, but no problems with video being choppy. I left the transitions on for a few days, updated the beta a few times. Turned the transitions off, then decided to give it a go again with the official release. Turned transitions back on (before the update) then magicly they are smooth as silk. Updated to latest and everything is running fine.
Not sure what changed (didnt seem like anything other than turning on/off)
But its running the way i would expect based on the speed of the cpu and other hardware.
Not sure if anything can be done for you mini-itx people.

I think overall somehow we need to compile a hardware list of what everyone (RR Users) is running in the car. Id be interested to see the ratio to fast/slow machines.

also, if anyone is looking for how to setup the pic viewer the latest version of (shameless plug) lsxvoid has the picviewer fully supported on 3 seperate screens so it can save you some time setting it up.

I'm personally not a big fan of the transitions. Unless you're making a flyout menu or something, I think it's a waste and doesn't add anything to the "coolness."

I dunno i think the fade transition adds something to RR, but i manged to survive without it so i guess i'll have to go back untill i can sort it.
