I see your discution about it in Google and I found your integration really good.
If you would have any evolution in coverjuke just ask me and I try to integrate it in the next version.

Mika, Isn't Google an amazing thing! Thanks for popping in and offering to better the app!

The only thing that comes to mind right away, that keeps it from being really functional at the moment, is the database build at every start-up. Once this database is built, can it be saved to a txt/dat file? This would make the loading almost instant the next time around.

One of the members of the forums here, BlueZX3, just created a music database plugin for Road Runner. At the beginning, it would build the folder list, albums list and artist lists from the main database at every startup. This caused a delay before you could browse or play your music. He got around that by simply saving those three lists to temp files. They will always remain good, until the database is updated. Part of the database rebuilder will then create those temp files again.

thankyou for offering your valuable help. as john said, the biggest issue that we have now is the database, in the flash version an Xml file holds all of the info, something like this.

Code:

<artworkinfo>

<albuminfo>
<artLocation>D:\\media\\Music\\freestyle\\Folder.jpg</artLocation>
<album>The Best Of Freestyle</album>
<artist>Various</artist>
</albuminfo>

</artworkinfo>

but anything based in a regular text format would be grate, txt, ini. once again big thankyou for creating CoverJuke.

excellent the creator ,
1 other thing that will help is the embedding of the app, we use the window name to embed apps into our skins. when i tryed this 1st with your 1.31 or 1.13 version it did embed very nicely, but in this version (Your latest) it dose embed but the app does not play very nicely, the images keep moving down , i can not do a video shot to show your what i mean, if you can solve these 2 problems we will be in your debt mate this is a great app, loving it to bits. so ,so far mine request and john's request are the only 2 things i have come across so far.

and thank you for popping in and introducing yourself

Code:

"COVERJUKE","LOAD;coverjuke.skin;CoverJuke;$RRPATH$Plugins\Coverjuke\CoverjukeLoad.exe;||SETTOPMOST;RR;TRUE"

I now have it running as it says in the Readme, the scrolling of the album covers is dreadfully slow and when I select one by clicking the check mark it bring up the OSK.

the check mark for the osk is the skip to , basically . letter to album, as for the slownest of the app sorry can't help have no problems here, what about running Coverjuke standalone, is it the same. the script El has done do not change the actions of the app , they just grab info for rr.

also did you change the path in the coverjuke.ini there is 2 lines to change

1= music path = defaultdir =D:\media\Music\
2= Script path = pathplayer =D:\Road Runner\Plugins\coverJuke\Cover.exe

you need to chnge these paths.

selecting the the album cover via tapping the ablum art loads the playlist popup if 1 is set in the skin.ini or if 0 set will load that album to rr playlist and play.

check these and see if its any better

What size are your album covers guy's?
All mine are 300x300 and look totally ***** when displayed in this app.
Is there a way to set the size to scale to?

i would say 80% of mine are 200x200 all they are ,are what were embeded in my mp3's , when i opened the mp3 to show my art , i had 4 to choose and i kept the folder.jpg a deleted the others
