eJukebox 4.04 Released
Here is v4.04! I hope you all like the improvements. It has been a long road to 4.0...I want to Thank Everyone who has contributed to the forums
especially those who have stuck around since the beginning. You know who you are...you have kept me going all these years! I feel very proud of v4.0
and so should you. Just remember it is not done yet. If there is something you really wanted for v4.0 and it is not in it...rest assured there will be
allot of new features in v4.x's. It will only get better from here!
eJukebox v4.04 is now available for download at:
http://audiosoft.net/download.htm
Note: It will still say v4.0 on the installer and the eJukebox splashscreen until there is a v4.1. The latest update will say v4.04 on the taskbar and
the system tray EJ icon's tool-tip.
v4.04 Update:
-fixed crashing and jittery audio on some systems caused by Priority=3 and Priority=2 ejukebox.ini settings by removing:
[Processor]
Priority=X
and changing it to use:
[CPU]
ProcessPriority=1
You can edit ejukebox.ini manually to change the ProcessPriority under [CPU] if you want it to be something other than 1 but do so only if you system
can handle it. You may experience crashes or jittery sound if you set it too high. 2 seems safe on most systems.
1=Normal
2=High
3=Realtime
v4.02 Updates:
-fixed eJukebox not always installing new lower resource using artistlist correctly
-fixed editor, virtual keyboard and autolistbuilder look so they are not effected by windows theme
-fixed eJukebox display not refreshed correctly on Win2k after changing skin
-added Disable AlbumList Jump on ArtistList Click option to OTHER tab
Updates since Beta 4:
-fixed artistlist in default skin causing excessive handle/resource usage
-made default artistlist skin fit more artists per page by reducing row height
-disabled animate panel movemement by default
-made visualization launch button make winamp viz stay ontop of eJukebox window. Viz button no longer disabled in fullscreen mode
-optimized eJukebox AutoPlay randomization
-fixed eJukebox repeating songs if AutoPlay is setup with tracks from only 1 artist
-updated AutoPlay so that the 80% (or more) of songs played least recently are open to randomselection so that songs are repeated less often across
multiple eJukebox sessions. The maximum most recently played songs that can be excluded is 50
-fixed bottom position carousel not loading on startup and getting clipped when not in EDV
-updated autolist builder/autoplay mixer look
-new screenshot on first time user welcome screen
What's New in v4 Beta 4:

-Fixed moving the mouse over the left panel sizer causing a crash.
What's New in v4 Beta 2:

files...so that user knows what file is causing the problem instead of showing the name of the file before the problem file
-Id3 Tag Editor now only loads the song previews in embedded windows media player when play is clicked instead of when file is opened in
editor....making the editor faster and more stable.
-updated look of the AutoList Builder
-New SilverTuneZ skin

I get exactly the same problem as this in every way. My XP hangs to the point where Ctrl-Alt-Del does not work so I have to power recycle my
machine.
This may be reproduced by quickly moving the mouse left and right over the carousel and then moving the mouse to resize the vertical bar to the right
of the up next area.
This does not happen on Beta 1 and I chose the upgrade download executable. I have an ATI Radion 9600 series card driver 8.273.0.0 18/07/2006
PS I think the Beta1 download has been removed so I'm unable to revert back

reproducable crash
Thanks for the tip inslag (Rob) but this still produces a fatal crash even with the full version. I reverted back to v3.999 (as v4.0 Beta 1 has been
removed) and then performed a full install from the download above.
To crash your machine, move the mouse pointer to the vertical position bar just to the right of where it says 'Auto Play' in the Up Next area at the
bottom left of the screen so that the mouse pointer changes to a resize double arrow - works every time

Wow weird that that would crash a machine. Here it just freezed the eJukebox display until you moved the mouse off that bar. I think I have fixed the
problem. I will have a Beta 3 up next week.

Thats great Audiosoft! I really like how the current alphabetical letter from the Artist List changes silver depending on the letter you are looking
at. Personally I still ike the default skin the best.

rllercstr7,
Glad you like it. You can also drag and slide that silver A-Z letter to scan the artistlist. BTW There will be a nice improvement in v4.0 final for
the default skin that could not be included in the betas. The artistlist will look pretty much the same except it will show a few more artists per
page (less row height devoted to each artist) and most importantly it will use ALLOT less system resources (handle and memory) making it faster and
more stable.

Waow! Don't tried that!
Hey Audiosoft, today I've installed IE7 RC, and I don't know if the last eJukebox betas have been optimised for IE7, but now eJukebox Skins look a
lot better! Also I've put some transparents PNG in my skin: It looks damned good too!! 
PS: I vote for my own skin as the next eJukebox default skin! Let me know if you want more details. I've updated it, a lot..

VWBUG,
Can you be more specific as to what you are doing or what eJukebox is trying to do when it freezes? Do you have to restart eJukebox after it
'freezes'? Any error messages? What skin are you using?

Hi Audiosoft
The whole computer freezes about 10 seconds after ejukebox loads the home page. It seems to be related to the carousel as it is the only thing that
continues to move after the freeze.
Mouse, keyboard freezes, cannot ctrl, alt, delete, need to use the universal reset button.
I managed to quickly navigate past the start up page to the album list and ej worked as normal, but when I went back to a screen with the carousel it
froze again.
I didnt get the problem using beta 2.
I am using the default skin. No error message.
Thanks

OK, well hopefully v4.0 will fix it. I have a feeling it is a problem with the default skin using too many handle resources to support the carousel at
the same time on some machines. I have fixed the exessive handle usage on the default skin in v4.0 final (which I am getting ready to release later
tonight) so hopefully that will take care of it.

Hi Audiosoft
This did not fix the problem, the only difference is that now the carousel moves faster and the system freezes faster than before. I have noticed that
as well as the carousel continuing to move, when the mouse pointer is over the album cover the icon changes as normal. ( the pointer just happened to
freeze over the carousel)
Thanks again for the help

I'm having the same problem. The PC freezes after starting eJukebox. I think I may have had the run in RAM option selected from a previous version.

Hmm..so it only freezes after you put the mouse over the carousel? Can you disable/uncheck the show carousel option under the eJukebox display options
and see if it still freezes.
If you can't disable it before the freeze please edit your C:\Program Files\ejukebox.ini and replace the line Carousel=1 with Carousel=0 and
restart eJukebox.
Please let me know if eJukebox 4 freezes with the carousel disabled so I know if the carousel is actually what is causing the problem or not. Thanks.
Also what version of Flash, CPU brand/Mhz and how much RAM do you have?

No it freezes without moving the mouse.
The PC is a 1.2GHz Athlon with 512MB Ram. (it was Free) I use it as a stand alone Jukebox with nothing else running other that the touch screen
software.
Seems to run fine with carousel disabled.

OK, Thanks. I have a feeling that your system can not handle when the carousel is fully loaded with 12 albums. I bet if you go to an artist with only
a few albums and enable the carousel it will not freeze....but I might be wrong about that.
Try this:
Goto an artist with 'only a couple albums' and see if it freezes after you re-enable the carousel. Let me know. Then Shutdown eJukebox. Install
Flash 9 from here: http://www.macromedia.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie .
Now open task manager and watch the CPU usage of ejukebox.exe while you Restart eJukebox and see if it still freezes when the carousel is full from
the home view with Flash 9 installed. How much CPU was eJukebox using when it froze (if it froze)?
I think the solution to this might end up being to lower the visual quality of the carousel so that it uses less cpu...then give an option to raise
the quality for people with higher system specs.
One more thing: You may want to edit ejukebox.ini and change Priority=2 to Priority=1 and restart eJukebox and see if that stops it from freezing.

Audiosoft I recreated the player controls in flash so they are nice and smooth. I attached the HTML and SWF. Hopefully you can use it and they will
look nice.

For those with the 'freeze' problem. Maybe you CPUs are just overheating. I would try editing ejukebox.ini and setting Priority=2 to Priority=1.
Also are you using a touchscreen or a mouse? See if it still freezes when using the SilverTuneZ skin.
I tested v4.0 on XP and Win2K both with Intel CPUs and had no problems using a mouse. Win2K does end up using more of the CPU because it does not
support hyperthreading which I could see ending up overheating a cpu with the home view carousel running...but I had no problem. I am still looking
into this issue...any extra info on what you or eJukebox is doing when it freezes and your OS and CPU would help. I would really like to get this
fixed asap.

rllercstr7,
Nice job on the flash controls! I see you really want that extra highlight around the play/pause...i should be able to allow a seperate mask for the
mouse over so that flash is not needed for it. I would hate to have the skinnability locked up in a swf because of no external button images. However,
I do think your flash would come in handy for the 2Web browser interface. Each of the buttons would just need to be modified to trigger a javascript
function...plus the play/pause state would need to be able to be set via a javascript call to the swf.
