Well, it's two things related w/the ratings.

I've been adding ratings to various songs, but sometimes only a few of the actual songs I've rated show up when browsing by ratings.

The other issue is that even when a song is added to a specific rating and it does show up through browsing by ratings, when that specific song starts, it doesn't always update the RM_*start indicators. I mean is that sometimes it updates, sometimes it doesn't.

How about the coverart for other browsing methods? i.e. Artist & Album?

Because of the fact that it is db powered, the coverart for browsing artist view would be really hard to code for, as for the album that wouldn't be too bad..

Though, once I get what I'm working on done and working, will take a look and see what i can come up with.

If i have DFX4 installed with RRMedia working, if i want to use RRMedia stand-alone with another skin - do i have to run the (in the first post) intaller? Sorry, don't want to mess nothing up in DFX4.

Unfortunately, because of all the cmds and their under lying logic, RRMedia will only run correctly with a skin that has it fully integrated.

That IS the only downside to my plugin.

Currently, here's my hack solution. Because my "coverfile" variable is explicitly defined (i.e. folder.jpg), I've set up button codes to set the path for:

"FILE;$musicpath$$artpath$\folder.jpg"

The code gets really hairy when you browse into the artist's albums. It doesn't always work, especially if the folder path does not exactly match the ID3 artist/album info.

But at this point, I'll take what I can get

I really like seeing the album/artist coverart.

I think i understand. The included skin is a full-blown audio player. Still, if i want to use it as my audio player, will running the installer hurt anything? Like, will it install a second db and/or search engine or something like that..?

Sorry, everything is working fine in DFX4, so i just don't want to screw anything up.

I'm pretty sure that it won't but, the only thing you would have to do is make a copy of the RMDatabase folder in RR's folder and after you run the installer, overwrite the folder with the one you copied before you ran the installer..

Sounds good. I've been called "guinea pig" before

we'll see what happens..
