Thanks a lot for all the hard work!

Unicode 2.4? I don't even know what that means. Just a question, would that work with Winamp 5.56 (lots of options for installation, maybe one work?) I mean, winamp 5.13 does not support unicode, right? So something higher than that must be installed for it to work, or use another player (but most skins don't use WMP's (very fast) database to search and organize tracks, etc.).

fastmode=0|1|2
Use faster screen loadings -- default OFF (0)
On faster machines it is suggested that you leave it =0.

By default, my setting fasmode is -1 .

If i change by 0 (for test if rr is faster) , RR say me that the Carwings skin is not a valid skin !

carwings uses .pngs, fastmode MUST be -1, which enabled GDI+
-1 is the right setting...
if you cant do GDI+ (slow old machine) prob time for new machine

pierrotm777 · 11-06-2009, 03:30 AM

The skineditor is the 0.76c version not the last 0.76d ?

Blue ZX3 · 11-06-2009, 04:30 AM

Ya, looks like that might have slipped by...

not "unicode 2.4"

id3v2.4 tags... google

they new, windows 7 doesnt even support them
i would stick with id3v2.3

yes, 5.13 does NOT support unicode
i would use the newest winamp, cant see any reason not too
also, if you use another player, like WMP, tags come 100% from RR code, not from player
WMP and other players, where RR is concerned is for PLAYING not any music organizing

I don't understand exactly what some skins do with winamp then. Maybe they just use winamp database (searching, playlist, etc) and you can still use WMP player? I've tried 5.56 once in Windows 7, I think I had some problems though, but I'll try again.

But I think that's a skin related issue.

I got your point though, I *think*. For what your saying is, it doesn't matter whatever else the skins use the winamp for, when it comes to PLAY the file, RR let's you pick whatever you want, now to SELECT what file to play next, etc. if the skin uses winamp database or whatever, it has no bearing on RR using WMP or whatever else you've set: the skin does not even need to "know" about it, right? (does that make sense?

)

mitchjs · 11-06-2009, 03:48 PM

i dont know of any skin, that uses winamp db, im not even aware of winamp having a db

iTUNES has a database

i been using win7 since beta 2, and NEVER had any issues with WINAMP
keep in mind OLD winamps, were not UAC compliant, ie they tried to write in thier program files directory... but thats been long since fixed in winamp

i would hope that skins dont depend on any one player, but it could happen...

I use WMP sometimes when testing, cause its just simple, and it works, and plays all my music... i do winamp too, just becuase 90% of RR users do, so i want to make sure its working correctly

RR has its own internal playlist management

New RR release solved my video problems, if I use Build in video player or WMP. The second one has better quality, but don't go in to full screen when the controls are hidden. How can I tell to RR or WMP to go in full screen ?
The only bug I found until now, is the radioart not shown anymore in the CWD lite skin.
Thanks.

treetop777 · 11-06-2009, 05:46 PM

I'm running Carwings lite, embeded art and this build; this is what happens:

from the music browser i select a playlist, art appears fine in the audio player..
back one to main menu, art and track details are there no problem.
exit RR.
Restart RR - no art or track details on the main screen
from there, go to music player - art and playlist are visible..
back one to main screen - art and track details came back
exit RR
Restart RR - art and track details are gone.

It happens in LSX Void too.

Which skin ? Windows version ? WMP version ? Can you try a different player like MSVid to see ? and maybe a different skin ? never seen that issue - wmp player hasn't changed in a long time.

Which player are you using ? foobar2000 ? if so, did you adjust the buffer setting ? can u try a different audio player to see if it works ?
