Thread: New Age Garmin - FINAL RELEASE 01OCT09

O.K., this is quick and dirty. I'll let ThunderStick take it from here. The attached includes a new radio_player.skin, xm_player.skin and a biglist_player.skin. The only change on the radio/XM players was replacing the last preset button to popup the biglist player. This somehow loads the radio.ini or xmcache.ini in the same style as the audio player.

Issues:
1. Can't get ilist to work
2. Next/prev plays next/prev - no scrolling (pgup/pgdn buttons would help, but it still plays whats highlighted)
3. Need to create "BYVAR" code to change the biglist_player labels from the radio labels to the XM labels.

The way that is working is It uses the audio command to initiate the audio player (needed to auto turn off radio or what ever was on before) then exits the skin file then reloads using a MENU command instead so that it loads ontop of the main menu screen. This will not work when just trying to enlarge the ilist. You still need the radio_player.skin fle in order for the correct playlist to display. Cant have two seperate ones. Carputer1 gave me an idea that may work, and I will take a look at what Gizmo has and see what I can come up with.
Expect an update soon, with enlargable ilists on the picviewer, music menu, radios, anything with an ilist now. This is definitely a needed and very cool feature.

GOOD NEWs
Guess what I found in my pile of crap computer parts, XM-PCR USB radio. Now I can test out the XM skin.

BAD NEWS
Cant get the ilist to work either. I tried using the loadlist command to load up the xmcache.ini with no luck. I did add a button for the biglist popups thought on both the radio and xm screens.

If you can't find a way to get the ilists working, you're gonna haveta widen the popup screen and add up, down, pgup, pgdn buttons to the left of the list. To me it was no big deal for the radio (12 presets), but XM is a totally different story.

OK got it figured out, check it out in the first post.

First:

Line -1:

Error: Variable must be of type "Object".

Second (Happens Twice):

Road Runner must be running for this to work

Also, I have never gotten the backgrounds button to work. It always crashes RR. I have it set in RR and in this skin's skin.ini but it doesn't work. If I go set it statically it will showup but I can't browse them.

I know this seems like a lot, but lastly, if I try to register the plugins i get an error for all of them saying: "LoadLibrary("whatever dll it tries.dll") failed - The specified module could not be found."

I love this skin otherwise. Please help me get it figured out!

Thanks a TON!

More han likely you are using the Road Runner version of the skin with the newest version of Road Runner, Which is Rider Runner. Ride Runner is not backwords compatible with my skin because of the scripts that I use. Download the Rider Runner Skin and try this. If you are using the Ride Runner Version than try the other Road Runner version. This should clear up your problems.
