Coverjuke, (openGL)

**EL CAMINO** · 08-17-2008, 12:40 AM

i found this gem couple days ago, been using it since then in my HTPC, it appears to be a lot faster and less cpu hungry than the flash version. with the combination of some scripts i was able to integrate it to road runner.
the source is available at coverjuke's sourceforge page, coverjuke is written in C++.

BUGS:
builds database at start up, which means slow starts if music folder is really big.
when selecting any left cover jumps to the first one always.

Yea, it is a lot less CPU intensive for sure. It would be a great app if it didn't spend 12 minutes every time I start it in RR to scan my music though

this is very nice, like john said , and your self,the build of the db is a pain.
need to suss out the db bit it would make things alot better.
the only work around is to have it start on rr start, in the background . so it starts
to build the db, hav'nt tryed that yet .

but what a find anyway.

just downloaded v1.41 this solves the click on left album bug , in your ver El as you said , if you click on left album art it went to the last album on the left, this update solves that

the other problem i have found is the scr size in the ini. it automatically re-instates 800 x 480
it dos'nt matter what you change it to , it opens and re-sizes it self back to default.

also reading the mess. he is looking into db save , so it dos'nt have to scan folders every time .
sounds like this guy is on the ball. lol...

Is this skinnable or do I have to use the buttons at the bottom?

**carputer1** · 08-17-2008, 10:24 AM

use the test skins , you will notice a C line this is for the clipped area of CJ
CoverJuke (CJ) has the ilist flick scroll built in, if you tap the album in the centre this will set the list for that album.
there are scripted buttons in the skin files these simulate next/prev have a look at the exetb.ini in the download for the other functions.
i have just skinned this tin my skin and changed the layout at bit.

so in answer there are skinned buttons and app function to use.

open the CJ ini and set your music path, then close the rest is easy

OK from the looks of it, I just embed this in o Road runner

The thing is also incredibly slow. The play list that comes out from the side take about 20 seconds to display. Unless I am doing something wrong this is not too practical if you ask me.

**EL CAMINO** · 08-18-2008, 12:25 AM

something tells me you are using the internal player, in the package theres one little script that changes some settings in coverjuke.ini right before coverjuke is loaded, please read the README, all you have to adjust is this path in ExecTBL.

Code:

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

sounds like you have the internal player switched on in the coverjuke.ini
you should not have that switched on.

open the ini set your music path , scroll down to internal player set to false, scroll down to player path and set the path to the cover script in the coverjuke folder

eg .D:\Road Runner\Plugins\coverJuke\Cover.exe

then save and run coverjuke from the rr launch button is COVERJUKE.
in El's demo ver the list dose not show in main scr its a popup for the list.
