Jukebox related questions

[reefboy]

I love the Jukebox plugin for those times that I want my HTPC to just play random mp3's of mine. I thought I remember reading at one time that it was designed to play and continue playing until you stopped it. I start it and it plays but once I go to the main screen it stops after it has finished the song it was on. Is this something specific to my machine or is it working they way it was written to run?

Also, is there any future updates to Jukebox in the works that you are aware of?

Try the music player plug-in. It includes a jukebox function and will keep playing when you return to the main menu.

I agree with reefboy, i also am very attached to the Jukebox Plugin. That plug in alone is the whole reason i came over to GBPvr. I do know that yes, if you leave the jukebox screen and go back to the main the plugin will finish playing it's selected songs and then stop.

I have tried to get the music player going a couple of times with no real success. lots of small errors, out of range, etc not exactly sure why.

The new version of GBPvr has unfortunatly completely broken the jukebox plugin and i've had to drop back to 92.11 even though i have to say that the new GBPvr seemed much smoother in general and added some nice features. It's all in all a very fine program but alas playing music through the MVP connected to a whole house audio system is the primary goal for me. The Jukebox had a couple of big things going for it. it's simple to use, small and straight forward, not a lot of fooling around fussing with getting it to work, installing all kinds of other programs to help it work was not necessary. in short my wife could work it and gave me no grief

I hope the Jukebox program gets updated to work with the new version of GBPVR. I'd hate to see a plug that simple, easy, focused and trouble free go the wayside.

While I know you are a jukebox fan, I would be interested if you could email me the gbpvr.exe.log, and, from the Jeff sbdirectory the musicplayer-PC.log and/or musicplayer-MVP.log files so I can see what went wrong with the musicplayer plug-in.

Will Music player automatically download album art and track info when an album is added, similar to the way video archiver downloads movie and episodic info? Or does this have do be done manually?

[Jeff]

No, it does not. It assumes that it was downloaded at the time the album was ripped. I have seen examples of code to do this so I could probably add it in the future if many people have this need.

Just a quick question to anyone out there who might know.

Has anyone gotten the Jukebox plugin to work with the new version of GBPVR 93.10?

I've tried and while it sort of works, it gets a bit weird on me here and there. Screens not showing up, inconsistant operation, etc, etc.

Is it just me having problems? If anyone has it working as it should with the new version i'd appreciate just a quick note and i'll assume it was my error and try the install again.

I hope i'm not the lone user left for the jukebox. Has anyone gotten it to work with version 93.10?
