Lsx Void 3.0

**greatwhite** · 11-16-2007, 08:05 PM

Hi Ls,

Are you going to get a chance to incorporate the HD radio skin and support (I know it's really a RR support thing) in the updated release?

Cheers

EDIT: I tried using the embedapp command for iguidance, its still closing out after some time. I'll try making the navi screen preload in RR and that way itll stay loaded and embedded, see if that helps. Is there any way to check if iguidance is actually closing/crashing due to something else?

EDIT 2: Blue_ZX3 is currently working on a database plugin to allow building and searching of the entire media library (i assume independently of winamp's library). Any chance you would be interesting in adding this on? I think it's really the only missing piece in RR.

i believe just art thats in the folder, there is a plugin i think that does the embeded art in the mp3.

I have no idea what the embedapp command is or what its meant to be used for in reguards to IG. What version of IG are you running? Ive never had any problems with it closing on its own. But ive also been without my carputer for a couple months now i think and havnt been using it heavily with the latest RR. Are you changing any settings in the Opt (Options) screen after IG is loaded? Some settings you change require the skin to be reloaded and thus embeded apps will close. Anytime you hear the startup sound the skin has just finished reloading.

Once the database plugin is finished ill take a look at it and evaluate if its a fit for the skin.

actually thats not a RR support thing, i have to enable it for the skin to use it. It will be included as an option in the update.

nope, im not changing any options or having the skin reload after opening up IG. i dont do anything more than visit the mixer, library, and audio screens. i am running ig3 by the way. when I get a chance ill try another skin out and see if it happens as well. i have two guesses: either something in RR is making IG crash (perhaps ignative or autoswitching, although i doubt it becuase autoswitching has been working great), or the navi screen is leaving memory and having to be reloaded after a certain amount of time. also, do you have any advice to eliminate that flickering of a white background while entering the navi screen?

ill do some testing here and see if i can repro it, i dont have IG3 installed anymore though, just IG4.

as for the whitebox, i have no idea what causes that, there is a huge thread bout that issue in RR. Ive never seen the whitebox on any computer other than (my now dead) carputer. For me! I was able to get rid of the white box by not using object dock (stardock.com). Others have fixed it by not using the gamma control app, and others have been stuck with it. Its truely a mystery as none of the solutions are related. Do a search in the RR forum for white box.

just re-read your post and noticed you said white background and not white box, so thats a different issue. That is a issue with IG itself as the apps background color is white, and for some reason shows up when you switch screens. The best way to fix it is to turn on transitions in RR (fade is -1) and when you switch to IG you wont see the white background.

update status:

there are 2.5 things on my plate left to do for the update, i was gonna do it this sunday but dont think ill be able to make it.
But its very close, so im gonna break my cycle of only sunday releases and do it during the week since i dont have to go to work

Which day? Im not sure, could be TUE or WED, wed looks good though, have to go back to the dentist Tuesday so I could be down for the day.

notable new features in the update will be:
HD radio support
Google maps (will be heavily refined over the next few weeks)
Online video
Task Manager (kill windows tasks from inside the RR)
New Color Themes - request your favorite color (extra download)
Another cool feature i cant remember right now.

The rest of the changes are bug fixes, configuration options additions/changes, tweaks to main menus screens, fix for Envy color theme, and other things to minor to list out, etc, etc.

cool thanks, ill give it a shot! im gonna have to wait til thanksgiving break before i can mess around with settings and different skins to make ig3 stay embedded. til' then, i noticed just one other thing. on the audio screen, when the album art popped up, the vis shut off. don't know its a feature or bug.

EDIT: the fade setting works great to eliminate that white flickering background :-) I did notice that the visualization stays in its current state of on or off when switching between screens now, i.e. i cant have the vis on in the main screen and off in the audio screen.

FFS

What does it just say under the word download?

@LS I told you Johnwpb should have done it

Personally, I feel if you can't handle the download link, a carputer may be a little over your head. I guess it could be possible that you just need to learn to be more patient and read more... but either way, you're gonna run into a lot of problems if you don't read and waste A LOT of time.
