I was very careful to install to the defaults as specified in the readme. Coverjuke.exe and cover.exe are in c:\Program Files\coverJuke. CJEmbedder and CJSend are in c:\Program Files\Road Runner\Plugins. I have added the appropriate lines to exectbl.ini and skin.ini. I am using the 11/2/07 version of RR. Do I need a newer version of RR? Do I need to register any DLLs? Any other thoughts?

in your skin.ini setting don't add coverjuke.exe , just point to the folder its in

Thanks, carputer. I went ahead and confirmed that I had not added the filename to the path. I followed the readme very carefully, so I can't imagine what might be going on.

well this is how i have just in case

skin.ini

CJ_DirPath=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\Plugins\Coverjuke

exectbl.ini

"COVERJUKE","LOAD;coverjuke.skin;Browse by cover;$PluginsPath$Coverjuke\CJ Embedder V1.2.exe;CJ Embedder"

nice work on this ws6vert ...

btw - the skin files used in your download (as supplied by El-C) are from the TEKNIK2 skin, as created by me ... but feel free to use them as you need.

Thanks Val, I will add you to the accolades of the readMe.

kbreeden, if you are still having problems, PM me.

Hello ws6vert. I really like your hard work on this thing. I've used the flash version of coverflow for long time but always had a lot of patience while scrolling albums because flash is an heavy thing for my carputer!!
The coverjuke plays really nice and I really like the pictures you posted here :http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/1291590-post50.html.
As I'm using your same skin (elite), is there any chances to get the full package for elite lite?
I've just installed the version attached to the first post on this thread; it seems to work fine, I only have a delay on coverjuke start and really don't like teknik2 skin inside the elite! Thanks in advance.

I will send you a PM later in the night with my skin files. they are a little rough though, I am not a skinner.

Many thanks! In the meantime I made some changes to the skin and reverted to the previous visual style version (the one based on skinbedder help, but no more skinbedder thanks to your work on scripts!).

I'm testing to reach a good result but still have the initial delay on loading coverjuke. It takes about 10 seconds to load and position in the right way. Don't know if there's something wrong or simply depends on my carputer (atom 330 based Intel D945GCLF2 motherboard). Please take a look to this video (made with my logitech quickcam connected to my other computer):

Are these delays and flickering (don't know if it's the right term!) normal during loading coverjuke?

i am having a bit of a problem here, and not yet being very familiar with skinning, i'm sure it's an obvious problem. coverjuke (and cover.exe) are in the default path.

my carputer still sits here in my basement and i occassionally tinker with it. i recently found coverjuke and gave it (v1.2) a go tonight. it works standalone--pretty neat--and i will just use the default skin in dfx4.

using skineditor (0.71), i thought the easy mod would to just change the main menu "music" button (B02 to execute the command "coverjuke").

coverjuke does launch, but all i get is a bordered window with the default coverjuke controls and my windows desktop showing through. skintool indicates that on pressing the button the embedder executes ("LOAD;coverjuke.skin;!AutoIT v3 Gui;C:\Program Files\RideRunner\Plugins\CJ Embedder V1.2.exe;CJ Embedder"). what have i obviously missed?

thanks much.
