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.

all you have to do to stop it is press volume up or down.

It works with the mouse/touchscreen button, but I use a Griffin Powermate and it changes the volume and the % reads and it keeps fighting it. I guess a IR remote would do the same thing?

I guess it stops on the button action, but not by reading the volume change.

Hey

It would be nice if you add a control to the virtual keyboard (in search function) with the directional keys (up, down, left right) and then a push button i.e Enter.
That way you could use a remote control to control it all.
Just like in media engine.
Sorry for my bad english.

First let me say thanks for adding all my requested features in 1.0.4

I just noticed that FrodoPlayer will not include *.m4a media when updating the database. These files are easily supported by windows mediaplayer after installing 3vix. Can you add support for it? Better yet, can you add an editable extension list?

I'm working on it.

I've been trying to use the slider bars in my car and find the only one I am use to is the one for time position in the song.

If the other sliders were like the one in the directory view that would be nice. It has up and down arrows and a slider. It's also thinner so more text would show.

I would like it if there would be a way to "lock" the configuration with a password. I know you can always change the ini file, but i would like if a not experimented user would not have access to fool with all the features available and scrap the whole setup.

I am quite certain my girlfriend might get in there while I'm driving...

I imagine it being done by inserting a boolean for it being passworded or not, and a string for the password.

If required by settings, the same keyboard as research would pop asking for password (down arrow (ESC) would cancel the request to get into settings)

Also, is there a way to edit the ID3 Tag off the MP3s? Ifever you have a mislabeled tag, the only way is to get into winamp? (not that I mind...)

I'll add this to my list.

Frodo, I was just watching some videos and I find it necessary to adjust media player's brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue sliders, etc. What do you suggest?

Marsupial · 05-01-2004, 12:50 AM

Thanks frodo. There is no rush on those requests... its more some kind of whish list. Your software is already realy great. This said, thanks for looking into it and if it could become part of a future release, I'd be flatered.

Just out of curiosity - would the way you programed the day/night skin leave room for a day/night option in the main menu? (click night, click day... you know, to switch on the fly)
It would mainly be great for test purposes...

I fixed this, it will be available in the next version.

LESLIEx317537 · 05-02-2004, 02:56 AM

Very nice, much thanks Frodo.

I've been using the software in my car and all my friends think it's so clean and nice and easy to use.

IF FrodoPlayer is based on WMP, could the 10-band EQ perhaps be accessible from within FrodoPlayer in some future incarnation? Or maybe it's already available and I missed the boat (again)??

Another oversight with microsoft I'm afraid. Cannot be done.
