FlashDeck - Page 9

DiNASTY · 04-09-2006, 12:30 AM

Before you post a request/review please have a look at my ToDo list on the first post. Also, please let me know the specs of the system you tested it on.

-Enjoy

BTW: just click "Later" in the config screen as it's still unfinished.

Hey m8,

except for your posted todo, It is looking wonderful!!! The setup thing is real cool too (Yeah, I *HAD* to try and press "ok"

)

Anyways, I had some mixed media in one of my directories (audio+video in same dir), and I noticed that Flashdeck played the media in Winamp... here is a screenshot of what happened (sorry the video got blocked out of the SS), basically it just opened the video window and continued playing.

is this intended? If not, maybe you need to filter out the list with file-types from RR? If it is intended, then maybe you have a way of "embedding" the video screen in the album art thing? dunno...

Cheers! thanks for a great skin! it adds a lot of "interactivity" to RR... real nice!

Please do add FD, and if possible, make the menu configurable (so we can remove options we dont want... like once you get the multi-level directory thing sorted I am going to want to remove the browser and use only the player)... I also didnt see a way of browsing and playing from the same screen. did you remove it in the end?

Cheers!

Thong song ...

I will defiantly add support for the custom menu items and FD... I just have to get the color picker stuff done first. BTW, what kinda system did you test it on and how did it run?

yea, gonna go test now.

DiNASTY · 04-09-2006, 01:59 AM

K,

Ohh...if you go in the car, lemme know if the compass works. I haven't had a chance to test it with GPS yet.

so how do I go back and change the setting after I've already pressed the 'OK' button and did the config?

Embeding the winamp video window would be an outstanding new feature!

In order to listen to videos currently I have contrived a work around that requires the videos be loaded into the audio player, then I have an launch app called winamp that embeds the video. This way I can jump around to any of my non-audio screens and keep listening to the audio from the music video, i.e., watch Freedrive for my next turn, check weather, etc. and the music just keeps playing. If you could figure out how to embed the winamp video window this would be great.

Here's my winamp.ini from my launch folder:

[GENERAL]
PATH = C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe
TryEmbeddedTimeOut = 5
WindowSearchString=!Winamp Video

Keep me informed if you get it to work

Hello Dinasty,

Love your work again. Looked at your todo list.

I'm missing te radio support

Will it be in there in the future.
It may just be the basics. Station list and Manual tune

djkl407 · 04-09-2006, 03:51 AM

Are you going to make a "800x600" flashdeck skin?

john1701 · 04-09-2006, 07:28 AM

i know its beta, and i might have jumped ahead with modding flashdeck already.
first attempt to change logo. I just need to figure out how to remove that circle

pcfreak · 04-09-2006, 12:10 PM

The circle is fine, it's that thing in the middle you need to get rid of....LOL JK... Will test it in the car today for ya DiNASTY.

DiNASTY · 04-09-2006, 12:53 PM

@ GizmoQ/Roy: I'm not exactly sure why it's adding the video files to the playlist like that, I will have to take a look... This was not intended, but would be cool to have it play in the albumart area. I can't use the "A" skin definition because it will cut out the flash area completely if i remember bet have a look at the app i attached (just an idea)

@john1701: For now just try and make a smaller logo (see tut on first post) I will add support for large logos in the next beta version.

@djkl407:

for general.ini resize

its just my 2 cents but i just tried this and was put off by not being able to get past the config,got as far as weather and had to exit,leaving me with a non functioning flashdeck,the buttons that did nothing thanks to the config are also very small,i know there bigger than they look but what are you saving the space for?
