Switching Music

Upon launching a specific MP3 file (sd://~NAVARR/MUSIC/Vampire_Knight_-_Still_Doll.mp3), a dump is received (file available upon request): Dump: http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/1028/hpim0245wo3.jpg

v0.3a --Navarr 10:38, 1 July 2008 (CEST)

Probaby will need the mp3. Does it crash right when clicking on it, or after a bit of playing?

--DragonMinded 12:59, 1 July 2008 (PST)

It crashes immediately after clicking it.

--Navarr 01:31, 2 July 2008 (CEST)

Ok well I'll still need the mp3...

--DragonMinded 21:33, 1 July 2008 (PST)

mp3

--Navarr 07:21, 2 July 2008 (CEST)

It's crashing while mpg123 tries to interpret the xing header in the file. I don't know why, but I've contacted them. For now, try a different conversion of it.

--DragonMinded 23:24, 1 July 2008 (PST)

Good to see you back ;)

And sorry for my mess :( --GeekShadow 14:24, 1 July 2008 (CEST)

Large amount of files in directory

When loading a directory with a lot of files in it (247 of them, to be exact), the program crashes. --Xero 20:14, 1 July 2008 (EST)

Changed the way it does directories. Should load this now and should be faster.

Renaming dmp folder

I finally found why DMP didn't start, I renamed the folder dmp in apps to DragonMedia Player.

Yes, if you rename the directory, it doesn't know how to find the files. Don't rename it.

BGGraphic?

Are there any restrictions of the BGGraphic-File? I tried a 640x480 .png, without any success.

	<Application>
		<BGColor>1C1C1C</BGColor>
		<BGGraphic>background.png</BGGraphic>
	</Application>

Also, if I delete the BGColor entry, it doesn't change... any suggestions? The file exists of course... Oh, and is there any chance to change the skin at runtime? -- arn` 01:10, 3 July 2008 (GMT+1)

The restriction is I haven't added background support to the whole application yet, so it won't load one ;P Of course runtime skin changing is planned, but there are far more important things to do. It's only been out for a week.

--DragonMinded 16:19, 2 July 2008 (PST)

OK, good Point. ;x

What I've found next is, that "Color" seems to don't work for CurrentLength and CurrentPlayTime (& NowPlaying?). -- arn` 01:22, 3 July 2008 (GMT+1)

Well, new version fixed it, thanks! I've spend some hours making this:

Your image host doesn't allow hotlinking...

--DragonMinded 11:06, 3 July 2008 (PST)

It doesn't? O_o Here's another one: http://img387.imageshack.us/my.php?image=0xpreviewla1.png -- arn` 20:13, 3 July 2008 (GMT+1)

Damn that looks good. Keep it polished and it might be a skin that ships default. Any way I could grab the current version?

--DragonMinded 10:42, 4 July 2008 (PST)

Possible. I want to create another one or two before releasing anything. ;) -- arn` 23:57, 5 July 2008 (GMT+1)

Bug Reports

Just add any bug you found, for better overview:

Version	Description	Fix
0.05 Alpha	Custom theme's cursor .png doesn't get displayed	change "<Filename>" to "</FileName>"
0.05 Alpha	displacement of elements (buttons etc.) background unless Position is set to '0, 0' in settings.xml	fixed in 0.06 Alpha!
0.06 Alpha	crashes when "Home" is pressed while theme uses no "Menu" image	fixed in 0.07 Alpha!
0.1 Beta	Certain .flac files cause slowdown with stuttering audio. "Demon Seed" by Nine Inch Nails is one example. (It's a free download from nin.com if you want to test it).

Oh, and awesome work with the drivelight. -- arn` 08:30, 7 July 2008 (GMT+1)

Cursor gets displayed fine, Filename was renamed to FileName for consistency

DragonMinded 07:20, 7 July 2008 (GMT+8)

I hope it helps you, DragonMinded. And one question, is there a way to get out of the "Home-Menu"? -- arn` 18:05, 8 July 2008 (GMT+1)

Burn in protection

Is it possible to add a dim screen (after timeout > 15min) or so OR an option/button to render the current spectrum analyser/visualization over the entire screen area? Its for those of us with cheap widescreen LCD TVs affraid of burn in. Its been ages since I coded anything but lately I'm very tempted to rip the source code apart and see what goodies I can add. --Llvanden 11:56, 16 July 2008 (CEST)

LCDs will never get burned in. --Blooper4912 23:50, 16 July 2008 (CEST)

Oh... I somehow think that had something to do with me not getting plasma instead, Still, a full screen visualization would be... novel. Although it looks like I might just be able to modify the theme file to do this? --Llvanden 10:01, 17 July 2008 (CEST)

Ideas

First, I was wondering if you could do something to scroll down and up. I think I saw some arrows for that but they don't seem to work. That would ben ice.

Second, it's been one day that it's released but for future you could implement DVD use with Waninkoko's Custom IOS so we could burn music and listen them in the wii. (LaPatateInc:LaPatateInc, July 16th)

You can already scroll up and down. Just use the trigger with the pointer on the playlist (like in the opera browser)

And yeah, maybe the usb code from MplayerWii could be used for flash drive reading?--Llvanden 20:11, 16 July 2008 (CEST)

The usb code from MplayerWii is just the libfat patches (however, calling mplayerwii open source is a bit liberal, he includes a bunch of .o files and then the wrapper code to translate mplayer to wii). I've already integrated them, but they do not work for ANY of my drives.
