I still cannot get 'normal' FM radio to work within the skin. Both RADIO and HD RADIO share the same skin but I am unable to change any of the buttons so that the skin and Radiator will talk to each other.

I have tried to utilise the skin in the Radio Standard folder but only succeeded in locking up the system.

Is there any chance that this old skin may find its way into a future update

Please

The artist information on the main menu seems to be cut off at the bottom. Any ideas what would cause this? Everything else seems to be perfect.

I've got a couple issues with DFX3 that I haven't been able to kick all afternoon. Haven't found anything else on 'em so I figured I'd post for suggestions.

The first (and biggest) issue is that if I start RR fresh (from a boot or RR restart - not hibernate resume), the music takes forever to load. When it first starts up, there's no music. If I access the music skin, for some reason it shows me weather:

After a minute or so, the skin will catch up on the currently playing song and populate the playlist with that one song and it will start playing:

After another minute, the playlist will finally populate (and allow me to next/prev through tracks), but the track info won't populate until I actually click on playlist:

I'm completely stumped on it. I've got iLists disabled. Running RR 12.13.07, iG4, and Winamp 2.95 on WinXP Pro (full, not nlited or anything), on an M10K w/ 512mb ram.

The second issue, less important, is that my change wallpaper screen doesn't preview the wallpaper:

It will change fine, but I've got to guess what the wallpaper will look like. I've downloaded and installed the latest Flash and Shockwave, no help.

Thanks ahead of time for for any suggestions!

I get nothing, it just stay on Searching.... no results. Why?

@cMags

The weather album art is a known issue and he is working to get that worked out the best he can. I'm not really sure as to your music taking forever to play(mine->M10K,TinyXP rev5, I cant complain).

The whole playlist thing, I don't have a prob with that either.

The background preview is fixed for the next release..

This has happened to me. I can make it happen if I exit RR and open winamp sepratley. It seems winamp has not fully closed from RR and the Task manager shows 2 winaps. When I close both and restart RR I get the weather album art and no music. Same as what you describe. After a minute or so it will resolve.

The weather image is beyond my control. This is a known issue with Road Runner. The image tag for the album art is an indicator, and the code is "ALBUMART". HOW RR seems to think that a weather map is Album art is beyond me. I also tried using the "J" tag, to display the album art, and it does the exact same thing.

I have had it show the weather map, and even a photo from my desktop at times. There seems to be no pattern what so ever. I even set my album art to ONLY show folder.jpg, yet when I go to the music screen and get the weather map again.

Try installing DFX 2.5 and then trying it in both skins. I had the same problem after I uninstalled DFX 2.5. After I re-installed 2.5, 3.0 works again. Don't ask, it just works and the un-install was the only thing that changed. Hope this helps.

First, make sure you have .m3u files associated with Winamp, and not another audio program.

just create an .m3u file with a text editor, and place the url/IP address into the file. Open one of the .m3u's in the internet radio folder in a text editor to see what I mean.

Just a note: There will be a lot more stations to choose from in the next release, and The Beatles is one of them...

YEAP.. i was gonna ask about that too... that sometimes rr doesn't close winamp, endedup up having a winamp processor hanging in the memory.. So, when rr starts nexttime, new instance of winamp having some issue with the one hanging in the memory..... Most of the time, rr will successfully close winamp, but not all the time...
Will this help, having multiple "exit" command on a button, making sure if it's really done its job?

sounds kinda funny.. like a zombie movie... shoot shoot and shoot, until it gets its head brown out or it won't die.....

Although some zombie is fine with headless..

That was it. Working fine now. It was really bothersome because I noticed after posting, that only the album that the current track was in would come back into the playlist so I was losing my on-the-fly list. But it seems OK now. I'll just keep an eye on my proc. list, or better yet, keep using hibernate so I don't deal with it.

And thanks for the head's up on the wallpaper preview - glad to know it's not my configuration. I'll just look thru them manually and pick one. I don't do a lot of skin changing once I got something I like.

Great work John! I've been trying to get this skin working since BlueDevil! It's finally there (IMO)! The customizability of the menu page is what really sold me on it finally.
