Ok i need some help...

I am trying to set up Jump in music flow which then links to a music viewer overlay but i am having some trouble getting it to work.

The Jump works fine, but when i click on Info for the music viewer overlay the album details are always for the first album in the database?

I get this screen which are wrong details...??

Thanks
Andy

Andy,

Stevens response: "works fine over here with show overlay musicviewer, he might have
recreated the musicviewer screen on his own and set the database by
accident ......plus the name should be "musicdetails". I think it's
his database tag in the skin xml, it should be "<database />" and
imagename should be "<imagename>musicdetails</imagename>" if that
doesnt work I need his skin to see what is wrong." :D

Andy,

Downloaded the skin, It looks fantastic........................!, love all your graphics, keyboard, search, etc. + picture flow.

Your Music Jump issue:

In Music Flow, select music under Elements, Properties, Category, change the name that you have musicflow to music, the info screen is still musicflow. This should fix the problem.

Also just some suggestions: :)

1. playist screen, "Clear Plist", maybe just "Clear List"

2. Cant change weather forecast on main meny like default skin, secret hot spot

3. Just a suggestion, on the volume control overlay add a slider element + hard buttons or slider only and remove the hard vol up + vol down buttons, or just no overlay and the audio control on every menu. Don't forget we have timers that can close any menu if it does not have any activity. So for instance if a user opens the volume control overlay and the screen receives no activity after a preset time period the menu will close automatically.

4. Small issue, play music, goto controls menu, select now playing, click on coverartwork, track overlay appears, close track overlay, it should go back to now playing instead it goes to music generic. Most likely our default skin has the same issue, I need to check. :?

5. Add easy access to music controls from any menu.

6. xLobby logo on main page lower left corner.

Thanks for creating the skin, xLobby looks more up to date and all those apple users out there can now use there PC again.............. :lol:

Andy,

We have added some new events to make this easier, it will be in the next release. I will post an example of how to use them.

Top man, thanks

I was trying last night to associate mastervolume to a slider but the slider doesnt move, if you associate just media player volume then it slides but volume cuts out at about 70% completely. I noticed when you have your red triangle volume bar on screens that mouse control fails to move it when it is a "mastervolume", only hard keys control it.

My grey cells may be failing but didnt we used be able to slide the volume bar up and down, i defo remember in your ip radio screens the green volume bar slid up and down with mouse control but now it doesnt. I'm using the one but last release at the moment.

Have i missed something really simple?

Andy,

Your not crazy....... we appologize for any loss of brain cells or pounding of your head against the wall, the master slider is broken, its a bug. We were working on some updates to the audio setup menu and obviously we created a new problem. :o

Thanks for pointing the issue out, It will be fixed on the next release.

Andy,

Here is the details for creating automatic closures of any overlay menu due to screen or button inactivity.

1. Under Triggers, Trigger Groups, Skin create a new inactivity trigger and name it Volume Inactivity.

2. Edit the trigger and set the time of inactivity that will close the volume overlay, see the format In Activity 00:00:10.

3. In the Trigger manager under Events, select Add Local Event, the local event should contain a new command called close overlay by name. In the Overlay Screen Name enter the name of the overlay to close, in this case "volume".

That should do it. From any menu click on your volume control, the volume control overlay will stay open as long as there is activity on the menu, no activity 10 seconds later the menu will close. With this new feature some interesting menu features can be created.

The volume control issue is now fixed. :D
