taneki · 04-26-2002, 05:27 AM

I'm using mpxplay and frontend program mpxf and mpxftsr. All works fine but mpxftsr DON'T grap informations from MPXPlay. When mpxplay is started I can see only name of the track and total time but nothing more.
I have 4x20 LPTLCD.
Everything else is ready to fit my player to my car. But these informations.

If it's possiple to mail me taneki@hotmail.com I'd be thankful.

I had the same problem when I first started using MPXFTSR... It turned out that the version of MPXPLAY was too recent, and had to get an older version that was compatible with MPXFTSR. (I believe it is 1.4.2 or below).

Good luck.

I changed to mpxplay version 1.42 and now I have new problem. Both mpxf and mpxftsr draw their logos on lcd but when mpxplay starts, it always freezes my computer. What is wrong!!!!!
I wouldn't want to give up using mpxf. HELP ME!!

Try running MPXF ONLY and see if it works... And then run MPXFTSR ONLY, and it see if it works (by manually going into MPXFPLAY). That'll give you a better idea of where you stand, and it's easier to troubleshoot... don't forget to have a look at your config.sys and autoexec.bat.... make sure you have emm386.exe and himem.sys, and that you aren't using smartdrive (I heard it can cause some probs).

Play around with your MPXFTSR.CFG... And read the documentation that comes with it, it'll answer all the questions that you've been asking so far.
