Well It looks like something is loading in the background because the hard disk is running. After awhile the hardsik stops and no sound or video. Nothing hangs though and frodoplayer continues to operate normally.

anything in the log? How are you saving these dvd's, are they actual rips or copies of all the VOB files? If you just click on the file, will it play under Media player automatically? If so, it should go here as well.

I will have to test this tonight. Thanks for the advice

How about a scroll button for the song list?
Like in the artist list.

What are you talking about ? There is a scroll bar there.

Does he mean a button like the down arrow on your screen? That way you don't have to drag your finger...

I haven't checked to see if there is one.

chut · 04-26-2004, 03:05 PM

uh yea, thats it, a scroll arrow. moving the button to focus on a particular artist, while driving is somewhat difficult. Thats what im talking about.

That would require putting an extra 4 elements on an already crowded screen, as well as editing all the skins. I just don't think I can do that. But I have my thinking cap on, so I'll try to find an acceptable solution.

Would it be possible to omit the 3rd option of displaying an image when the album art is set to OFF and have only the visualization and info screens?

that would make sense, instead of always displaying the same image...

I'll look into it.

First one is probably easy. It would be nice to have an easy way to minimize frodoplayer. The other one may be more difficult but it seems that a lot of people would probably like to be able to see real time displays of PC temperatures. It can get pretty hot in a car glove compartment and trunk.
This little utility is great: http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
Maybe there would be some way to integrate it in.

Thanks for creating such a great program.

I second that. I am planning to connect temperature sensor, used to measure outside temp, onto I2C bus connector on my Epia-M and if there is chance to have this information (or any I2C/SMB info selected) shown on display just like date/time... I can even imagine situation to connect door sensors onto I2C conversion IO and have popup window when doors are open. These voice alerts are annoying as hell.

Frodo did Mini-Mode get larger with 1.03?

Cool, v1.0.4 now remembers which way the text was scrolling in Mini-Mode.

I noticed one thing with the safe-volume resume:

If you were playing the music loud, say at 75% and you exit the app and then re-launch it, it will use safe-volume resume where it slowly goes back to 75%.
Can you add some code to make it sense If the main volume is changed during the safe-volume resume time, then disable safe-volume.

Cause it will keep going up to 75% and you will have to keeping fighting it to bring the volume down. Right now, the easy manual fix is to mute the player and wait, or bring the volume past the last remembered spot and then back low again then un-mute. - But that defeats the purpose of safe-volume resume.
