I made the background black so you could see the AVS better

EDIT: I made two more types, Wide and glow for each theme

Very Nice TxAxZxZ thanks! Ill put a link to them on the first post.
Now to think of a way to have them auto change based on the theme.

One little bug i found....at least, i think it's a bug...

When playing MP3's in the Main Skin i started up the visuals.
I went to the Audio Skin to select some other music.
The Visuals are off now.
Then when i go back to the Main Skin the visuals are still off......
But when i change volume, press next or some other button that doesn't change the Skin the visuals appear again...

Why is this?

This is a bug with the current version of Road Runner, and im assuming a know bug so hopefully it will be fixed in a future rr release.

I have the screenlock appear on startup, but once I unlock and then try lock the screen, RR freezes. tried this on both my test machine and my car pc.

Any ideas ???

ill take a look and try to repro

The press and hold feature allowing me to change a city was a god-send when I volunteered to drive my sisters to New Orleans for our last cruise cause I was the only one who knew it was going to rain and I made them bring rain gear (all they were thinking about were their bikinis in Jamaica).

Just today, I realized he's using the GPS based weather, but an option to pick a city is just another of those options we CarPC users can take advantage of. Hell, my personal skin has over 30 radar jpgs and 8 animated radar screens and it saved me from three tornadoes (including the one that destroyed my home in OKC in 99), two ice storms, and one blizzard.

I take weather forecasts very seriously when I travel. I even had my tablet with me in Hawaii last year and instead of being caught in the freak hurricane there the last three days of my vacation, I was off to Japan. Chuck came up with the original jpg-based RR Code for 6 weather jpgs on a page and I just kept expanding that till I had the majority of my travel destinations covered. But adding realtime animated weather was the real lifesaver. I can see storms around me, plot their movement against my own, and then decide if my needs outweigh the risks.

The guys at the Chicago MP3Car meet thought it was overkill, too, until I explained to them the different ways its used and with full time internet my animated radar is updated every 5 minutes. I used to show them storm heading across Illinois and say I'll wait another hour so I'll miss the worst of it or leave the meet early to avoid being snowed in with them. Anytime you drive more than 4 hours, an option to see the weather at your destination comes in very handy.

im sold!
If i drove as much as you are i would want the same thing. Look for the next micro update to include this feature.

1. I'll go into iGuidance and set a route, go into another menu (ex Audio, XM, etc) and come back and the route will be gone. Its almost like iGuidance is exiting totally instead of just being the background. I've read how to fix this somewhere, but I can't for the life of me find it. I think its some setting that allows a certain number of programs to be ran at one time. Any help?

2. On the main screen, its had the city name which I assume is retrieved from the GPS. Problem is, the cities its displaying are about 20 miles away. Am I missing something here?

3. Is the "local something something" (forget the exact wording) setting in GPS the interval for updating the city name on the main screen? If so, is that in minutes?

4. Is everyones "Mute" button on the satellite radio working?

5. Theme and color picker are working but "backgrounds" locks up the computer. I read earlier about a path needing to be fixed but that fixes all 3 items. I only have a problem with the backgrounds. Help?

There were a few other things but I forgot them. I'm sure I'll remember them next time I go driving.

Thanks!!!!

1.) open RR.ini and set
screenlimit=12 or any number higher than what its set to now. I think the default is 3 or something very low, so after browseing a few screens RR will clear them out of memory and if IG is one of them, there goes your route also. There should be some code put in to never dump the gps screens or maybe a list of screens to never clear from memory.

2. The city name gets updated based on the local data capture rate (set in OPT>GPS)
the lowest value i believe is 1 minute. The accuracy of the data is totaly dependant on zips.dat found in the root of your rr install. This file is editable and there are a few versions floating around with more or less accurate data.

3. See #2

4.) Not something i can actually test ( no hardware)

5.) The Images button is the only button that needs the picspath set in RR.ini since this button takes you to the picviewer. The PHOTO button does the exact same thing and they both have the exact same code, only the label is different. Open rr.ini and edit the path for
picspath=V:\Users\Liquidsmoke\Pictures
Or you can also set this path up under OPT>Media Paths
The first 6 paths on this screen are pretty much a requirement for RR to operate smoothly.

Is there any way to make the "album art display" not be called after that 60s if the VIS is on? I just want it to stay on the Vis.

That can be done.

What language is your version of windows. And if the answer is English, are your localization settings in windows set to non english?

Ive looked through this thread, but cant find anything indicating that I need to add anything to my .ini files.

I know there is used to be a "cdpath=" parameter or something like that.. but I dont know if that needs to be added this time.

Inserting a CD does nothing and clicking CDRip just sits (read: hangs) at the "stand by" screen.

There is a faq in the RR faq section for setting up cdrip, just make sure you dont overwrite any .skin files as they are already provided in the skin.

to setup the autoplay,

OPT>General Options>Audio Player CFG> Auto Play CD & DVD <--- set this value to ON

edit this file
"V:\Road Runner\skins\LSX_VOID_NIGHT\autolaunch\AutoLaunch.ini"
and set the drive letters to watch.
In a future update these settings will be set via inside the skin.

That is all you need to do. U dont have to put in any .skin file names to load ect.

You could manually comment out the right lines, but there are a lot of files you would have to do it to.

2). I dont know what iceradio mode is, so no it does not support it.

3). Trip Meter is broken, actually it has never ever worked!! The only reason the screen for the plugin even still comes with the skin is because i had hopes that one day it would work. So just forget all about the trip meter. um kay.

4). Looks like the two screens are pointing at each other where one of them should be pointing to another screen. Just click the back arrow. All of the available option screens are listed on the "Options" and "General Options" screens. Ill have to look at the right arrow buttons and see where it should point to. As the options screens grow i tend to forget to update the arrow buttons.

5). By default the album art does not show on the main screen (front page) like it did in V2. To enable album art on the main screen click OPT>VIS & LOGO> and choose a layout that has album art. But also note, that if you are still having DirectX issues with ilist then you will prob run into issues as most of the alternative layouts have ilist on the main screen also with the album art.

1. Well, right now I cant browse through the list of albums by ano other way then just selecting aboutthe right letter at the bottom, so I guess that iList should work "out of the box" then! think I need to check my config, any hints?

2.Well IceRadio is the plugin for SILABS with some new cool features, heres the thread: siLABS RADIO PLUGIN

3. Doh, but I know that festy is starting to work on it again, theres finally some life in the old thread.

4.Ok, thanks

5.Album Art works great at the audio screen so I probably just need to try another layout!

I ran the config and set everything up. I tested RR using the default skin. That worked fine. When I try LSX, it loads only the back, play, and forward buttons then RR just hangs consuming 50% CPU usage.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Anyone willing to mess with it first hand msg me and I'll give you my Radmin3 login information so you may mess with it at will. Radmin3 View is free to use: Link

This is so frustrating

Post your rr.ini and a debug file please.

That may reveal where your issue lies.........

Just make sure your clean out your debug file first (it will be too large if your don't), then start one instance of rr to get a file you can post.

Also, if you have "hide winamp" checked in the config utility, uncheck it to make sure it is running. I've had all kind of strange issues crop up in "Audio" when winamp either doesn't start properly with RR or it "glitches". You can also check in taskmanager to see if it is running or has multiple instances open (which I've found will also muck up the works).

However, rr hanging when you click audio is one of the problems I've seen when the media path is not set correctly (don't ask me how I know. 'Doh!) Do you have your path set to a file where your music is or have you just tried to define the drive? I've treid to set the path a simply "C" and it doesn't like that......
One last Q, can you see your song list in the ilists? If you can't, this could also indicate an incorrect media path.

Cheers
