Lsx Void 3.0

**CARLOS_CET** · 01-08-2008, 07:05 PM

Anyone else have these issues..I'm using 3.25:

1. When coming back from hibernate, the main screen has the album cover but the song names to the right disappear. I have iList enabled.

2. When I go to delete a song, I get the prompt to click on Yes or No to delete the song but the prompt keeps flashing off and on. Click on Yes works but the screen keeps flashing until you select either Yes or No.

3. When starting Road Runner with the LSXVoid skin, the skins starts and music but I don't get the text in the boxes such as AUDIO, VIDEO, NAVI for about 10 seconds.

4. When clicking on the NAVI button, the screen transition goes from showing the grayed AUDIO screen to than showing the NAVI screen.

LS,
Did you get a chance to try and modify the ratings plugin to what I had requested where I would be able to have multiple playlists with names, rather than stars and being able to use it like the ratings plugin.
Also, thanks for the 3.25 update. Will you be listing what updates where done or more specifically the added features?

Thanks

I dont have a screenshot of this, but it doesnt seem normal. any ideas?

ilist are list that scroll based on your finger just like how the iphone and ipod touch do, give or take a few things. It uses DirectX to do this and those with embeded graphics cards seems to be the most people with problems getting it to run due to direct x errors.
Some known issues that will cause ilist to fail in RR is having any non Microsoft remote desktop application installed that uses a mirror driver, such as logmein, VNC and a few others. Simply having these applications installed will produce errors. Also, you cant remote desktop into RR even using the built in RD in windows with ilist as RD disables Direct X.
Old video drivers or crappy video drivers also likely to have issues.
There will be a patch that people can apply to the skin soon that will globaly disable ilist in the skin for those unable to run it.
If RR freezes when you click AUDIO its most certainly related to the ilist that is on that screen.

RR ver. 23/12

Edit: I must try with latest RR

The latest version of RR last i checked was 12/13/2007 ill check again after dinner and see if there is a newer version that may have brought back a previous bug.

cover art in the video browser works exactly like cover art in the audio browser, it looks for the same file name, folder.jpg is what i use.

They can be any resolution you want, the higher the res the slower RR will take to load the specific file. I find anything under 1k is good. Most of mine are between 800x and 1000x. The aspect ratio is the same as a dvd cover box art. I think there is a way to force it to maintain aspect ratio of the image so ill look into that for those who have art for stuff like tv shows etc that isnt in the movie cover aspect ratio.

Thats really odd, dont think ive ever heard of this problem before. Can you check and post your version of RR you are running?

3. I have an iphone and what to get it to work through RR. Has anyone accomplished this? It sounds like its not easy to do.

Thanks!

divix files should play fine if you have the codec installed. Most of my video is also divx. In RRConfig under video, i have "use built in player" UNCHECKED. There really arent any other settings related to video to screw with in the config tool. You should have mplayerc.exe in the root of your RR install (i believe it comes with RR but not sure). Run this and make sure you can play divx files outside of RR in MPC.

double check your RR.ini file and make sure its pointed to the correct skin. also check resume.ini it also stores the last used skin path and make sure its pointed to the correct skin. For some reason on a fresh install of RR its pointed to a skin that doesn't exist.

As for your iphone, it will not work with RR nor will the ipod touch. They will not (at least for now) work with any 3rd party software other than iTunes. Apple saw it fit to disable disk mode on the new ipods to block any 3rd parth media players from connecting to the ipod because of greed. I feel your pain, and may apple burn in hell.
If you have an older ipod they work fine in RR and other apps.

ill look into it and see if there is something i can suggest. In stead of putting the command in rr.ini i can give you a line to add/edit in ExecTBL.ini for the skin that will serve the same purpose and hopefully fix that issue.

1. This is a known off/on issue with ilist. It was supposed to be fixed in a couple previous versions of RR, but sounds like its still happening for some. Double check your RR install version also and make sure its not older than 12/13/07

2. Thats weird, ill look into that and get back.

3. How fast is your computer? It only takes like 2 sec for me to see the text.

4. Other than the mention of "grayed AUDIO screen" which im not really sure what your seeing as none of the screens are grey. When you click NAVI and if you have screen transitions turned on in RR it should transition to the NAVI screen with your gps app embeded. What exactly happens when you click it? Can you post a screenshot of the grey screen?

I havent done much to the ratings since i rewrote it. Not sure what changed in RR but the ratings pluging dosnet even work for me anymore at all, and im on my last end with dealing with it. I plan to not make any more changes to the ratings script and will instead wait for the RR database plugin being created that also has a ratings feature.

Ok, i feel totally retarded posting this, but i just cant figure it out. Once i press gps, and ig4 loads, how do i leave and go back to the main skin? once its on the screen i cant get rid of it. Sorry to clog the thread with junk, but im lost.

**liquid_smoke** · 01-08-2008, 10:24 PM

when you click NAVI you should see one of 3 different gps layouts, from OPT> GPS>

Fullscreen
audio/gps
normal

I believe fullscreen is the default. But you should see a button on the top right of your screen with a big white arrow pointing down. This button will take you out of fullscreen mode.

If you are in fullscreen mode but do not see the big white arrow on the top, its possible that the skin somehow is confused about what GPS mode you are in. This could of happened with the most recent update as the default is fullscreen, but if you had previously changed it to another mode, the skin would think u are still in that mode but the screen would be set for another mode. Since i did not reset your settings (which i should have) with the update some options need to be reset. Try to go to OPT>GPS and re choose a layout for GPS and see if that fixes it for you.

Another possibility is that IG isnt embedding into RR and it itself is running in fullscreen ontop of RR. If this is the case, check your gps options in RRConfig/ rr.ini
Make sure the window name is set correctly.

LS, i tried naming the video cover art a bunch of different things like folder.jpg and folder.png and its still not working. inside my root video folder i have folders for each movie and inside those folders i have the video file and the folder.jpg. is this the right way to do it?
