ACTIVESOURCEID works well IF you don't navigate too far away from the AUDIO, RADIO, etc. screens or else it will re-set to ACTIVESOURCEID=0. Haven't quite figured out the pattern as to when ACTIVESOURCEID sets to 0, but I think it's related to "stepping into" non-standard skins.

It's works well on MENU.skin when resuming or startup for setting what is being displayed.

Like Chuck, I used custom variables to determine the current media source based off of activesourceid.

i.e.
1 = HD Radio
2 = Radio
3 = XM Radio
4 = Sirius Radio
5 = Audio
6 = Video
7 = DVD

Code:

"SAUDIO0","AUDIO||SETVAR;lactivesourceid;5||SAVETOSKIN;lactivesourceid;$lactivesourceid$"

I'll never run the latest Road Runner if I'm forced into updating it constantly. Having a carpc shouldn't become a burden.

Sounds like you haven't read the whole thread....

Well, the choice is yours. Run the old version and be happy and stop complaining when things don't work right, update once to the new version and after 4 month install the update which will not expire, (only will show a splash screen) OR buy Centrafuse or Streetdeck. It is up to you. You're the master of your own destiny.

I did read the whole thread. I'm just voicing my opinion that if Road Runner expires then it's not a worthy upgrade for me. A warning message would be a better alternative if the author goes into that direction.

Hey when I install the new version over the previous and I go to open RR it comes up with the first screen telling me that this is an open forum software and then kicks me out of RR. Do I have to uninstall the previous version and then install the latest version?

Correct the date/time settings of the machine.

bay350z · 12-02-2008, 01:12 PM

That happen to me because the GPS had set the incorrect date. I ended up disabling GPS time sync.

cameronlazzari · 12-02-2008, 01:26 PM

Thanks guino. Does that mean if I set the date back to 2005 then the 4 month update won't come?

bay350z · 12-02-2008, 01:34 PM

That won't work. It will trigger it right away. That is why the GPS time messed it up. It would set the clock to Feb '08 and RR wouldn't run.

cameronlazzari · 12-02-2008, 01:56 PM

Oh well ..thought I might have found away around it by accident.

bay350z · 12-02-2008, 01:59 PM

Yea for sure, I think the next release will address the issue.

guino · 12-02-2008, 03:50 PM

GPS date/time sync generally works -- but you may have to change gpsusadate=true/false according to YOUR GPS. This is because many GPS devices provide the date information in a NON-STANDARD format (switching around the month/day fields).
