Thanks Audiosoft.

Awesome Audiosoft- been following all the betas and eJukebox keeps getting better and better!

Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Keep up the good work

Audiosoft, Thanks for eJ 4.99.84!

Just a little thing: since 4.99.83, each time I start eJ I get a black box around the Next button(?) This box disappear if I reload the skin..

Is there a way to disable the "you tube" look ups?

.85 is up!
Well_Jaggy, yes you can just click NetRelated at the bottom of the songlist to toggle off/on.

just updated the .85 exe
-can now resize top position Shelf3D in realtime by dragging the songlist header

.86 is up!

.87 is up!

seems good no white flashes here on XP...looking into it Pirk...
does it flash with ej remix or only your latest skin?
when you turn off the upnext/songlist transition option do the white flashes go away?

it always flashes white when you add songs to the playlist or only when it animates up next?

well well I'm sorry Audiosoft. I think you can forget my previous post!
I'm very confused.. because I've just turned on animations again then tried with your ej remix skin: no flash at all nowhere! Then I reloaded my latest crimson skin, and guess what? No more flash at all with my skin too!! The only change since my previous tests is I restarted my PC after 2 (small) windows updates.. but also my PC was running since a long time. Maybe the ram (3Gb) was too much full? saturated?
All seems OK now. The now playing animation works very good, then upnext, shelf3D and songlist animate perfectly, all is flowing freely!

Thanks a lot for your help, and sorry again for your time.

great glad it works Pirk!

Pirk actually I think the problem might happen after click a play album icon in the Album List. will be fixed in .88

ah OK thanks Audiosoft. note the album list was closed when the problem occured for me, and it is not happened again until now.

.88 is up! includes a new display option 'Animate Page Up/Down' that works when you click scroll buttons and will animate rather than moving instantaneously to the new page position.

Audiosoft, the new scrolling delays work good, good idea!
I noticed the come back of the albumlistbar Up Arrow button, but why it is smaller than before?
On the other hand the album list Pinned button, is still violet only! Why this button style is not skinnable?
And finally a small joke: the albumlist scroll down button works the wrong way!

Thanks.

forgot to mention ...you need to refresh the album list once with .88 ...until you refresh the Albumlist the scroll button click may not work the right way

Pirk, you can change the style # if you don't want that to show. its because the pin button is the only 'checkbox' on the bar and the options panel uses the same style checkbox buttons.

ahh ok Audiosoft.. thank you for giving me further information !

Pirk how about this? when it is style 14 will make the pin be different style but still get the colors from colors.ini
or could add optional colors.ini settings for just the pin

I would be glad if you can add optional colors.ini settings for just the pin if possible.. Thanks.

yeah its no problem just added for .89 will accept this in colors.ini:

[AlbumListPin]
Background=
Text=
HiBackground=
HiText=
Style=

Great Audiosoft! Thanks a lot.

My colors.ini is ready..

.89 is up

Audiosoft, Thanks for .89
I'm testing [AlbumListPin] in colors.ini, but it seems it's not working.. I still get the violet button when my album list is Pinned! Here is my settings in colors.ini:

[AlbumListPin]
Background=66824
Text=14483455
HiBackground=10378791
HiText=15794175
Style=14

Pirk, style 14 will always turn blue when it is the pinned pin. the idea was to use a different style # for the pin and keep 14 for the rest of the albumlistbar.

Audiosoft, oh.. well sorry, it seems I misunderstood what it will be possible to really do with the new option. In fact I would like to change the pinned pin Color at least if style 14 is impossible, not the style of the "unpinned" pin button. Because like I said before the other styles are not so good than #14.
So actually it's impossible we keep style 14 for the pin button and have another color than blue-violet for the pinned pin? Perhaps your first idea was better to get that?

v4.99.895 is up!
-new skin menu item "Reload Colors" quickly reloads colors.ini edits only instead of the entire skin
-new ability to further skin eJukebox buttons in colors.ini with PNG images!
-optional PNG images appear stretched OVER the original button with 50% opacity when the mouse is not over it.
when the mouse is over the button there is a new animation effect that fluctuates the PNG's opacity between 25% and 100%
-can now add the following under any of the style button {Headers} in colors.ini:
PNG=yourimage.png
-note the PNG must be in your imagesskin folder. also the PNG should have some opacity near the middle otherwise it will cover the button text when fully highlighted.

This one works pretty good for the az bar...

PNG=ejglowbutton.png

Woah!!!! Audiosoft, you are a magician! superb effect, the pulsating buttons animation is surprising.. well done! Thanks a lot.

inspired by the windows 7 taskbar and your need for a better album list pin! with different pngs we should be able to pull off some nice style effects for the buttons. btw there are 2 more under skin development notes

yeah thanks I'll try to put a png over the pin button. not tried windows 7 yet.. all my hard drives already have a system!

still prefer XP but those new glowing taskbar buttons are not bad!
win7 buttons somehow change the glow related to the mouse position on the button. ej not that complicated but these new PNG= can be just as good and help ej button styles -without needing individual pngs for each button caption.

very interesting indeed, so in eJ the PNG is automatically resized to the button size?

yes re-sized so the source image can be any size/shape and it will scale it to the same size/shape as the button. that way can use same png for different sized buttons.

Pirk have fun playing around with the new button pngs. let me know if you come up with any new ones. going to get some rest now. will post more pngs and will be working on virtual keyboard buttons later

just tried the effect on other buttons. it works! but it's less spectacular than the artistlist buttons. I'll try to make a new png for the albumlist bar, or maybe just change the color of my buttons.. Thanks again.

PS: The 'Reload Colors' option is welcome.. it's very handy!

otherwise I'm still working on the songlist.. it's a attempt for my own magic effect!

Pirk your songlist is looking great!
BTW if you grayscale/desaturate that button png the original button colors in the ini should show through instead of the purple tint so can reuses the same png if you like the shape. right now for ej remix only using the purple for the artistlist x and > buttons and grayed png for the a-z.

Audiosoft thanks for the tip! Here is what I get until now concerning the new buttons..
Finally I managed to get ride of the violet pinned pin! still need some work on my "now playing" song visor.. but indeed I think the "add to playlist" visor starts to work. Thanks.

nice Pirk! .896 is up and fixes Z and so scrollbuttons can use PNG=
...and here is a square one with black around the outside for different effect

also for quality the closer the png is in aspect to what the button is the better.

Thanks Audiosoft.

v4.99.90 is up!

Glad you fixed the page shifting.. it's working perfectly now! A second PNG for the buttons? Thanks much!

Here is what I managed to get with the new gelbuttons:

I tried to improve the buttons integration..

Easy! well..

v4.99.91 is up

Thanks Audiosoft. It works good!

big stars..

.. the song change scrolling effect is now looking wonderful with these new PNG stars! not visible on the screenshot..

many skinning possibilities..

artist names are always scrolling in the background, of course..

yes looking good Pirk! much better because no longer have to match editstarback.jpg to the np1.jpg backgrounds...
using nowstars 0-10.png's instead has allot more flexibility!

Thanks Audiosoft, nice piece of software!

..

..

.92 is up!

Thanks Audiosoft. Nice neon on the virtual keyboard.. this time you don't went with the back of the spoon!
Could you desactivate the neon when eJ is not focused? Can we edit this neon PNG for non-blue skins? and also how to change the keys flashing color? Thanks.

Thanks Pirk i got the first part fixed so other windows can go on top of keyboard png. will try to make the keyboard elements skinable then will post the updated exe.

v.93 is up! can now skin everything for the Keyboard!

Great! Thank you very much.

But it seems my own keyboard.png is not loaded at all from my skin folder: I always get the blue neon! same for keyboardbutton.png and keyboardbuttonHI.png. only keyboardbg.jpg can be changed.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Otherwise is there a way to have the keyboard show up like in eJ 4.99.91? I mean without the PNG overlay effects until I can produce "better" ones for my skin..

Thanks Pirk....might change the blue. want to make the default keyboard better for all the skins without keyboard elements yet

just updated the .93 exe download. your skins keyboard.png should now appear on "Reload Colors"

RE: for keyboardbutton.png and keyboardbuttonHI.png
-make sure you have these in your skins colors.ini if you want to change keyboard buttons from default:

[KeyboardButtons]
Background=0
Text=16777215
HiBackground=16777215
HiText=0
Style=9
PNG=keyboardbutton.png

btw Background=4210752 Style=14 and PNG= blank was the old default

Thanks Audiosoft. I will try all that!

Audiosoft, I have slight problems with the latest beta. Was anything changed in the winamp communication routines?

Winamp tends to crash (no error message, just the program has malfunctioned and an option to close the program) when I switch mp3's in this revision. I just started using the beta so I will get back to you if this problem continues. I will try to reinstall winamp if the problem proves to be persistent.

Since nobody else has reported back on this problem, it is probably a local problem at my computer.

.94 is up!

Great Audiosoft! I'm glad you fixed these small annoyances with Vista..
I hope eJukebox will run as good on Windows 7 than on Vista? Because I already reserved my copy (costing only "49 Euros" on Microsoft special offer). You know, the European version without any web browser included, thanks to the Norwegians!
Maybe someone already tried eJ on win7?

Thanks.

Pirk, I tested eJukebox on Windows 7 RC about a month about and it worked great! Was worried would need to run EJ in VirtualXP but it ran fine under native Win7!

Pirk, Opera

Audiosoft, thanks for your test of eJ on win7. Perfect if it works good!

Fishy, you'll laugh but recently I tried Opera again: much development since 5 years ago!

Use Firefox myself. So much for patriotism

.95 is up!

Audiosoft, where is gone the left border?
Thanks for this update.

edit: well it's OK, I edited my colors.ini.

Thanks Pirk, updated the exes and fixed the left border so old skins look like they used to.

I used some of the new skinning features: Here

.96 is up

Updated .97 is Up

Is it me or the DB needs to be rebuild after updating ejukebox.exe (via overwrite) every time...

Yogui,

You should not need to rebuild the database after overwriting the ejukebox.exe. Might need to right click and run it as administrator.

Thanks for the reply audiosoft.

I haven't try it much. It also could be restoring a Norton Ghost Image of my OS n Programs drive.

If I'm able to reproduce it I'll post it...

Cheers,

Audiosoft, thanks for the auto complete function It works pretty much like I want it to.

Fishy

No problem Fishy glad you like it. Open to any suggestions for improvement.

.97 exe just updated again check first post for changes

Audiosoft,

Thanks for .97 update. working good, excepted the now playing song change anim: sometimes there are some white flashs over the now playing panel on the right side, during a few seconds at the begining of the song change anim. A kind of "large white flashing square", even overlapping the artist list!
The strange thing is this artifact not occurs all the time. when I want to reproduce it by changing the np song, it doesn't occur anymore! but suddenly it's occurring again.. I don't know why? And of course since I posted this message it's not occuring anymore.. until when?


... Ahh, once more.. just occured again!!

unfortunately it's not "screenshotable": I took this capture during the (ghostly) artifacts, but you can only see my recent new artist list!

Pirk, give the .98 exe a try and let me know...
it should get rid of 'now playing' animation flickering for good plus show more fps than .97!

Audiosoft, I think you fixed it: Artifacts in the now playing animation are totally gone! Thanks a lot.

All animations are flowing freely, at least when the albumlist is closed. It just remains a brief "white flash" in the songlist when my long albumlist is open, but it seems it's shorter than before.

.982 is up!

I'm not sure if eJukevox uses Internet Explorer 64Bit built-in.

The Bad:
Some how the Keyboard Shortcuts works for a while and then stop.
The flag/checkbox:
Options>Other>"Disable Keyboard Shortcuts"
which I allways have uncheck (so I use the shortcuts)
Still UnCheck and if I Check and then UnCheck it again the Keyboard Shortcuts work for a while...

UAC is Disabled and I don't know if Win7 may have a security setting to adjust or what it could be.

BTW: I got this Win7 from:

Cheers,

Audiosoft, why not add some arrows in the homeview to the top albums as well? I actually think this could be the most interesting part of popularity stats. Maybe due to the fact that they are hidden from me in the homeview. We will only know if you implement this

Thanks.

Seems like the problem I've mentioned before...

"...the Keyboard Shortcuts works for a while and then stop..."

Happens when Control+A is used to show Next Autoplay song a few times.

Could someone else confirm this in Win7 64Bit RTM 7600?

Cheers,
PD: I also have other programs with global hotkeys running.
But in Win XP32 I don't have this problem

Yogui,

Most shortcuts need eJukebox to have focus...do they work again when you click inside ejukebox? if not there is could be another app that is stealing the keys before ejukebox can see them

Hi eJukebox,

eJukebox player is always active.

I've tried using Right Control and seems a bit better, but:

Usually after 5 to 10 Next (Control+A) presses the Control or Shift Keys get Stuck and/or eJukebox Stops responding to ShortCuts even after free up the keys by physically pressing them.

Is there a way to re-register eJukebox Hotkeys via command line or code?

Yogi,

They should just work from start to exit if you leave the keyboard shortcut option alone. if it is only a problem when not using physical keyboard then make sure your key sender is sending both key down and key up

Audiosoft, Thanks! Roll on the Songlist carousel: The foreground clapboard icon would be linked to net related videos!

Wait a minute Pirk-
Are those 4 across Large Album covers

CiXel,

Must be Medium just looks large because of the png borders around the albums in Pirk's skin. Thanks for bringing this up. Next version will switch Large to be 4 per row. Just have to reduce large by a few pixels and they will fit.

CiXel, hope you like the style of my skin!? otherwise well no it's only Medium covers. But.. I'm sure that Audiosoft will allow 4 large across album covers soon!

Audiosoft, thanks for implementing arrows and numbers to "top albums".

Talking about the homeview, just noticed that it is not possible to resize the shelf in that window, but everywhere else in the program? With purpose or by oversight?

In addition, could it be possible to let the homeview stretch out and fill its frame? Right now, the elements are centered and I wonder if it would look better if you let it stretch out to the available space to the left and right? Might make things look a little less cluttered.

Also, I think it could be nice with some more statistics, in addition to "unique songs played today" and "songs in database". The only one I can come up with right now is "number of albums in your database", but I am sure others have more original suggestions.

I am sure there are other things that could be done to improve the homeview and hope others have suggestions for this as well. I think there is an old thread around here somewhere, which had some interesting suggestions?

Maybe the homeview could illustrate, or link to, the newest albums added to the collection?

.986 is up! Thanks for the suggestions Fishy

So I have a bit of a resizing issue, that may just be a RTFM moment, but I haven't come across it until this release (granted, I haven't resized my windows in years)

To make room for the 4 large covers I resized my Left Panel using the sliders, but my right panel remains the same size. Hitting 'Maximize' keeps the right panel at the same size, but expands the left panel. How do I resize the right panel?

(On a side note adding a <-> handle to the right side window might be helpful)

CiXel, click the EDV button near the TOP RIGHT CORNER (under min, max, x)
That will switch the right side between regular and extended width.

Thank you for your support Audiosoft.


Can not express how much I love the auto complete function. Suddenly most of the searching is carried out with about three letters and then enter. Great feature for lazy people.
The only thing that it lacks is autocomplete for songs, but it would probably be too cpu intensive and result in too many suggestions anyway.

The latest additions are fine. Did you try to increase the width of the homeview as well? Maybe it gets to close to the artistlist and scrollbars? Difficult to say without seeing it in action.

Audiosoft, Thanks a lot for this update: All is loaded much faster than before, the album list in particular. Perfection is not far!
However eJ still crashs when a very large albumlist is loaded including artist names and max skinning.. OK I agree that I'm a heavy tester! Bug reported HERE..

.987 is up!

Audiosoft, could it be an idea to have ejukebox settings as a separate window in the gui? Like it currently works with for instance the list builder. The reason I have for suggesting this, is that ejukebox now have pretty many options (still growing) and these are located at a very limited space (i.e. results in a lot of scrolling) and visual searching for the correct options.

For me it is not that important, but for new users it may be easier to get an overview and find different option parameters if they are located in a larger movable, resizeable window with seperated tabs for the different parts of the program (display, play mode etc.) either vertically or horizontally.

thanks just updated the exe ~fixes blank up next

updated .987 exe again
-fixed fade in on startup was not working
-new Display tab option "Show in Taskbar". Can now have always taskbar, taskbar and tray when minimized, or always EJ tray icon and no taskbar
-fixed superedv.jpg from previous skin was being used when switched to a skin without the file.
