-i mean that if there is one jpg-file (name is egal) in a albumfolder, then it will be shown in audiomenu als coverpic above,left and you can click it to fullscreen to look. You dont need named it to foldername. The first jpg found in a folder and then playing an audiofile in the folder will show this jpg.
-No skineditor available at the moment. Our skinner has made it in Adobe Photoshop. We have our first release,so we spend all time for application. We are at the beginning with our program.

Bluescreen thanks for your reply, I think the cover picture question has become confused in translation

I am seeing the cover in the top left when playing a track, but I was wondering if you can implement browsing and loading of albums by this view instead of the current list of folder names.
I have made a mock up in photoshop to show what I mean..

I am wondering if we can have something like that, and then you can just click the cover pic to open that album ?

Also the shuffle feature, I understand how its working currently and it works fine for that implementation.
Will it be possible to add a function to shuffle so that if no music tracks are in the list (only folders) then it mixes ALL tracks inside ALL folders at the current viewing level so we can shuffle our entire music collections?
Like so;

(Cave Audio module - Browsing inside C:\Music)
----------------------------------
Album1 - (Folder)
-> Track1A1 - (Music file)
-> Track2A1 - (Music file)
Album2 - (Folder)
-> Track1A2 - (Music file)
-> Track2A2 - (Music file)
Album3 - (Folder)
-> Track1A3 - (Music file)
-> Track2A3 - (Music file)
----------------------------------

SHUFFLE BUTTON IS PRESSED

(Shuffle auto created playlist)

Track1A3
Track1A1
Track2A3
Track1A2
Track2A2
Track2A1

etc..

I hope that makes more sense to you regarding what I meant

I setup the mixer but it still mutes the song. everytime i change video it mutes. everytime the program start it mutes. i set up the mixer as you show in page 1 but it still does the same thing. as for the video part. sometimes it wont embedded. and error out. the video is still playing when you minimize the program but its not embedded into the program. Why dont you make the volume like RR. i believe no matter which sound card you use controlling the system volume is the best way. I like this software and sorry for removing cave live i was just testing it out on how it look without it, but the volume issue is not making me use Cave Live. It always mute even though i set it right. AS for Iguidance if its able to show full screen and have your program overlay on top of it instead of cutting it on top and showing a bit of the desktop it would be nice. My phone is set up using bluetooth but I have a WM5 device. it not picking up in the program. Everything i have work with RR. Bluetooth radio and everything. But with cave live bluetooth is not working. The device see it in setup when i setup the com port but it just not reading the phonebook when the program start.

Salling Clicker is a program that is use by WM5 device or any other mobile device support to control you computer.
www.salling.com

If it help i am using a 1.5 ghz jetway motherboard.

So issue I have seen with my system.

-Eventhough i set my mixer to work with your mixer setting the volume still mutes.
-bluetooth is don't work right with WM5 device.
-When starting the video player, it mute the master and wave volume, I have to pull it back up for sound to be heard. Switching video using the next track does not mute the volume but pick it from the list will mute the volume.
-Can you add support for Silab radio?
-video sometimes wont embed right.
-minimize of program is weird.

Regards.

With the Albums i must speak with friendly developer. It seams to be much work.
Your shuffle you can do, if you go one folder-Up and select these folder and press the search button for listing all mp3 out of folder within supbfolder.
And then you press shuffle for mix.

In later versions you have the possibility to play "folders" and you can select "folders" in Playlisteditor,too. So you can make playlist with some klicks on selecting folders and tracks. These functions in future i will explain another day. Today i can say, it will get you more easy possibilities in playing,playlist-editing and much more such a little Audio-Toolbox.Also the shuffle will be greater as "folders" can be selected,too.

I think tomorrow on sunday we have an update for download with fixes and some functions. So you can test . If cAVe is bugfree so we work on bigger functions.

The mixer : Is it really so, that if you open windows-mixer and also cAVe-mixer in cAVe-->audioplay--->EQ-button that when you pull slider in windows that the also labeled in cAVe works simultan ? An the other way also ? Test all channels fom cAVe to windows and from windows to cAVe. If there is one channel which does not function you should go to cAVe setup and test it over ID. The mute as an own ID ,you must pull slider for right ID.
Please show me a screenshot of your cAVe-setup-mixer-page.

We control the windows slider only because of the possible Input-devices such line-in for external radio.

The phone: Requirement is a functional phone with its bluetooth driver such like Bluesolail or Widcomm or other.
These Driver spent the system the ComPorts which can be setup in cAVe-Setup. You can select the right one and save. Close Setup and start once more. Then you touch button for reading phonebook. There you can set over Sim or phone hisself. Try both and read phonebook. If it doesnt work, its not the right COMPort you have setup. All bluetooth drivers spend up to over ten new ComPorts in system and its on you to have a look in driversoftware which is for connecting and which not. Each new ComPort has an own function such headphone support of phone and so on.
We have no bluetooth driver written, you driver must be startet while cAVe work. We only have the possibility to conect over the virtual ComPort to your driversoftware, which then will connect your phone. Not more ! The other way, also so that we can read over the Comport with AT-Commands your phone details and so on. It can only be that we must set more AT-Commands on newer phone, so its phone dependend what answers we become. The connection must function ! Could it be that the function to connect is not set in your driver-soft. There are two different ports. Can you connect by opening driver-soft and click connect ? Are the connection passwords set in phone and on function in driver-soft ?.

Salling Clicker: I must have more time to look how we can do with it.

Silab radio: it will come.

video: I have a look on it. Some user told me about much cpu-running,too. So after next update i will look for video-bugs.

minimize of program: Hmm why must you minimize in car ? We have a look in this. It goes not on taskbar, but the minimize-window you can get up by double-click.

Also how can you make Navigon Mobile Navigator to work with this program. I have Navigon Mobile Navigator 6. File name MN6. Its work great on my MDA but i cant' seem to get it to run on my computer. As for the screenshot. I test this on my computer in my car. So its a bit of a hassle to try to get. I will do what i can and more testing.

It gotta be my system then. I tested this on my home computer and the volume does not mute. That some weird stuff. Video works right on my home computer too no muting or anything.

Problem with the video is that if you go into it and play a video. Then exit and go to Gps. then go back to video and click on a different file. It crash with this error.

Also can you make it where if playing video and you click back to go to the home page that the video still plays

You must have "Navigon Mobile Navigator for Computer" but this is still old version. The newer Navigon versions called "NCK4" and "NCK5". All PDA or MDA versions dont work on computer. There is only the possibility to use some PDA/MDA-Maps for computer versions. "Destinator" is also good working on computer. I use NCK5 but have also a free Destinator. The Destinator i must test and can then take on server for you. Wait a little days.

Your video error i must test (which one you use? where the error come then on video?) .
I cannot read the error-message on screenshot its too small.

With playing video outside visual-menu you can set it in cAVe-setup on second tab , there where the skin and video settings. Take away the "pause at menuchange" so if you will stop video you must do it manual in pause.
This option is for "musicvideos" where you can hear videosound and also can use navi for example.

Thanks for the explanation bluescreen, I have tested the shuffle and it works great!
Is it possible to combine more than one function in one button so i can make a single click folder shuffle button? ie. Buttonpress = Go to music root;shuffle;play
I have tested the mixer setup today and now the sound is not muting.. it works perfectly!

Also i have tested my phone today, its working great apart from I get error messages in cave setup when loading the phonebook. I can see the names and numbers loading but then i get an error "listenindex uberschreitet das maximum (0)" this error repeats until setup eventually crashes.
The actual phone,signal & battery functions are working fine inside cave though.
Is there any way to turn on logging or debug mode to help you solve this phonebook problem?

I am definatley going to use this frontend, it rocks!

New cAVe Live package available:

- for audio-root such for mp3 is made a new button also the listicons

thz for this front ends it runs so fast on my laptop

test it right now..

swift_gti · 08-01-2007, 11:35 AM

Bluescreen, the new version is working well.
I have tested on a mid spec laptop and only register 1-2% cpu time!

I do get the same error message when loading the phonebook from my mobile as I got with the previous version, can I make Cave save a log file to troubleshoot ?
Also in the audio screen the 'folder select' and 'folder back' seem to be the wrong way round to me.. the button with an arrow pointing backwards makes a select, and the arrow pointing forwards goes back :S

Very interested to hear what your doing with Destinator.. are you making a whole new frontend for it ? That would be awesome if its Destinator6!

Cheers!

demo'd it for a short trip to the mountains and i'm pretty impressed. runs smooth as silk, still cant get iguidance to play nice with it but i did do some tweaking.....

i couldnt find a bg i liked except for one that was used in an older front end from here...i'm making one from scratch but i was itching to get the tweaks made and in the car before the trip.....screens here.
