I made an additional playlist screen (a fullscreen playlist) but I can't seem to get the slider to work, i.e when I touch or click on the slider it doesn't move. Also when I touch or click on the screen where the songs are it won't highlight it or select it. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get it to work? Thanks...

Does anyone know how to make the dimmer time-sensitive? (if it isn't already...). If not, then I guess it is just a suggestion to add. I would love that feature

It seems time sensitive to me. I only get the flickering problem at night, which only happens when the dimmer is on.

John, first of all, THANK YOU for implementing OBDII!! Second, any chance you could design those gauges to display any (user chosen) of the OBD values instead of the three you mention? Showing gauges I don't already have in my car would be far more useful than duplicating physical gauges...
Thresholds that change the gauge face color as a warning wouldn't be bad either! :-)

Thanks for listening!

@cdeldridge

look in the old PL skin file and copy over the ilist line starts with il. thats for your i list.
also the slider line the in editor the top 4 numbers are the postion of the slider and the next 4 are the touch area, just to start off make both sets of numbers the same , so the top set are the same as the 2nd set. should all work then

Unfortunately there is no way to make a "generic gauge". You have to set a bottom and top limit (0 to 8000 for the RMP, 0 to 300 or so for the Coolant temp for example, as well as having the correct scale of numbers on the gauge itself).

I am by NO means a flash programmer, and am no good at it. I am usually able to take an existing gauge, and alter colors, background ect, and thats about it. The flash source code for most gauges can be found in the forums, and would need to be altered for each gauge. One things I just can NOT understand, is that Oil Pressure is not a standard PID. There is so much info avail through the OBDII, but not one of the most critcal ones.

Hi
I converted some itunes playlists with PlaylistConvert-0.0.5. This yields this format:

E:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Pink Floyd\The Wall (Disc 1)\The Thin Ice.mp3

When I load the lists they only show one song. If I force a "reloadlist" command
with the skinner tool it loads properly.
I created a list with winamp and converted it and got the same results.

I've been searching (and learning) all day for a solution for this but I'm coming up empty.

Thanks
Derek

Can you show the entire contents of one of the playlists, if you have one that is just an album or so. The above line looks correct, so I do not see why it's not working.

Hmmm the playlist is fine. I am not sure what could cause it to load just a single song from the list. You say the same thing happens in Winamp when you run it stand alone right? If this is the case, there's a 99% chance it is not RR.

Check to make sure M3U's are associated with Winamp.

If all else fails, uninstall Winamp and try reinstalling it. use version 5.13 from oldversion.com.

Enforcer · 12-07-2008, 10:18 PM

Well looking at that list one file stands out.

Is There Anybody Out There.mp3

has an invalid character in it.

it could be that it is the second one being picked up and because of the invalid charater winamp is throwing a wobbly on it and stops adding songs.

However I may be wrong.

Morning!
The playlists load properly in Winamp. When I load it in RR only one song appears in the list. Although when I play it all the songs play. If I force a reload it appears properly. Also if I change the sort order the list shows up.
If I create a playlist in winamp it loads properly. If I take the same list and run it through the converter and load it I get the same problem.

It does this with about ten playlists that I've tried so I'm not sure on that one either. Like I said above winamp loads it fine.

Thanks for the help.

Being trying to sort through this long post but I can not remember where I read about the missing signal meters in the sat radio.

I noticed that in sirius there is not a signal meter. What do I need to do to fix that?

Also what do I need to do for youtube to work? Does it need any files? Or just select the button? Seems like it hasn't worked for others.

Thanks.

i have been off the forums for a while now and I was checking in to see if there have been any new updates. I was in my car on Sunday and I was wondering if there was a way to make the full screen playlist because its hard to find a particular song when the artist/song has to scroll before you can see it. I think this would be a great addition to DFX, keep up the good work.

John, I just saw your avatar, what a sad day. I'm sorry man and I hope you are alright

The signal indicators have been fixed, and will be in the next release.

I compromised on the full screen playlist

There is now a "Toggle List" button that will toggle the way the playlist is displayed with each press:

- Artist - Title (Default)
- Title
- Title - Artist

Youtube has also been fixed. Elcamino had to change the plugin, as the youtube page had changed slightly, and broke the script.

On top of that I have made some other changes to the Youtube screen. Mostly cosmetic, updated lables and such. One other change is the addition of a "Favorites" button. When you press it, it will list the videos marked as favorites by any user. To change to your Youtube screen name, simply press and hold the favorites button, type in your username in the OSK and hit ok.

Yea, that was a sad day, 3 years worth of tinkering and work on that car here and there with the CarPC and the TONS of wires, modules, relays, sensors, cameras ect ect.... All gone in an instant
