Digital FX 2.0 Transparent Released

not that i need more on my plate but if u want i can work on a script that will give you the nearest address within a set radius. It might not give you the exact address you are looking for but it'd at least navigate you right into the area of the address (within say 5000 feet). This would mean it'd keep feeding addresses into iG until a known address is found. Could turn into quite the light show with all the screen flashing but it would work lol.

in the few times ive used coordinates in iG i believe i figured out it will let you save the location of the coordinates then navigate to it but not just navigate. I could be wrong though.

Sonic,

Thanks much for the offer, but please don't do it just for my benefit. I can easily use Google maps to get the street address and then manually input the address into iG. I thought if that process could be automated it would be great, but apparently the limitations of iG won't permit it.

One thing that would be nice would be an easy way to display the current zip code so it could be input to the Google map search request. I suppose, though, that it's easy enough to just go to the gas plugin to find it.

Only found one post on this subject In regards to Video art.

Is there a recommended size/specific size needed or does it resize itself? Also, the jpg file has to be named exactly as the video file is, correct?

The Image will be resized automatically to fit the area. You just need to keep the original image to the same aspect ratio of a DVD cover. In my case, I am using 500 x 714 images. This is a bit overkill for the car, but I also use the images multi purpose, for the car, and for the Media Center PC in the living room.

The actual size of the DVD Cover art on the skin is 275 x 393. If it's a few pixels off, it will not matter, as it will stretch the image to fill the display area on the skin.

As for the name, you can make it whatever you want. RR will just display the first image it finds in the folder. All of my images are simply named Folder.jpg so they show up on the icons as well in windows file explorer outside of RR.

Got it, thanks for the explanation.

John,

It looks like LostReception's QWERTY keyboard plug is just about ready for prime time. DigitalFX and the QWERTY plug both use modified versions of iGuidance.exe. Unfortunately, the iGuidance patch supplied with the Qwerty plug doesn't work on the iGuidance.exe file as modified to work with DigitalFX. I'm wondering if there's a way to use the QWERTY keyboard with the modified iGuidance.exe file used for DigitalFX so we can get the benefit of all modifications.

i'm sure the reason for this is different title names witht he submenus of iguidance. We need to come up with standardized names so all hacked versions are compliant with upgrades and add-ons.
