I DONT SEE any problem at all, its working fine...
you do have it set to use external audio capture...
(not to mention, you didnt actaully do any commands that would do anything to the tuner...
like freq+)

you dont need a playlist

This is an interesting issue... I would like you to try TeamRSX suggestion and report back.

I also would like you to try (without the TeamRSX's suggestion) using the "TUNE" command after you go into the radio screen -- maybe that will trigger the radio ... if so, I can see that we'll need to add a small fix to the radio modules so that they tune to the last used frequency when there's no playlist.

no playlist needed, it tunes from radio.ini

S01,798,0,2,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,TRUE," 12","Arial"

Give it a shot.

I think this is correct, I remember back having this problem in coding before. I think RR needs to see the 'S' code in order to fully initialize the radio skin. Ill give it a try.

Thx guys.

Edit:

This worked thanks for the reminder RSX.

Guino, Ill try the tune command with and without the S code.

Ok so everything is working good, but it looks like ill have to package some fonts with it. RR always defaults to comic sans when it can't find a font lol.

Blk - is the button text part of the (button) graphic, or are they labels?

**blk02si** · 01-27-2010, 07:09 PM

they are part of the artwork

**blk02si** · 01-27-2010, 09:13 PM

I have noticed art is quicker rendering than label overlays.

Glad you were able to get the radio player skin working. Looking forward to the release. Looks great..

Also, what GPS program are you using (iGo)? Looks very tough screen friendly. I'v been using iguidance since i'v had the carpc, but have wanted to try something else just to compare.

Yep I am using iG08

I was using iGuidance 3.0 for a long time, and still do like it but iGO has way better font/map rendering and smooth scrolling.

This embed is perfect as the iGO app is sized for 800x480 and my application code and clipping code are both set to 800x480. The art is designed to fit it, and I gotta say it works well.
