Thread: RR fails to load / vis display glitch

if you then click the playlist search (audio browser screen) without cancelling the vis, the vis appears on top of the browser window.

if you return to the audio player, then back to browser search - the vis cancels correctly, then reappears on returning to the audio player.

if you then hover the mouse over the 'back' button (to return to the main menu) the vis screen pops in and out of embed (a windows border cycles appear/disappear).

So - i thought i'd try and replicate the problem on my shuttle desktop..

shuttle won't run any version of RR since vis has been introduced (12/2/05?)

non vis version runs perfectly, DVD embedded (frodoDVD), playlist perfect etc.

Interesting, you're not the first to report issues with the new version.. I have reasons to believe it might be the "flash" support. cause the vis is really nothing that complex.. I've put out another update you might want to try.. it does have extra fixes for the vis problems that you were talking about..

yeah.. 2-15 was far from perfect.. not saying the update is either, but hopefully better...

17/2/05 version: on laptop x 2 runs fine all working OK - vis cancels correctly on entering browser then reappears on exit to player.
only problem i can find is if you open vis, go to browser, clear playlist, add something else, return to player and switch off vis - the playlist is blank.
i.e. any changes to playlist while vis is active result in blank playlist.
if you then cancel vis, add something in browser, return to playlist - the full playlist reappears inc. previously 'invisible items' added when vis was active.

17/2/05 version: shuttle desktop hangs - winamp appears, then everything stops.... same since 12/2/05 onwards? (vis/flash added)
winamp/milkdrop work perfectly on shuttle externally from RR.

phew.

Log file ? Also, would you mind trying two things:
-Delete all your INI files and re config with RRConfig
-Download the latest Shockwave and Flash support from Macromedia's site.

Let me know thanks,

1) Vis window appear and disappear with 2 clicks of visualization button...
Solved. I haven't read the post about integration with winamp

2) If you have a main screen with trackname and you go to tv, when exiting it countinue displaying items of the channel list but playing however audio tracks. Probably trackname variable must be reassociated with audio player list when leaving tv...

I'll look into this.. I have to test it on a diff computer to play with TV..
