Unfortunalty I did not keep a good list of what changes I made this time, but I know that I have made small tweaks and bug fixes along the way.

Jeff,

I only use the blue skin on MVP's (45 button remote) and keep my music in the following directory order:

music
artist
albums
songs

How do I select an entire album to play instead of song by song? When I have an album highlighted then hit the yellow button it only puts the first song in the queue. If I highlight the artist directory it comes up with an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Even with the error it doesn't hang and I can back out and continue. Other than that, awesome job, it is on my favorite plugins list (along with weather as well)!

Jeff,

It looks like it works if I use icon view and hit the yellow button on the album but not in list view. I'll keep messing with it to see if it's consistent.

[Jeff]

Try pressing play or enter when the album is selected. I'll look into the other tonight. I am about to go out for the day now.

I haven't tried this newest version, but I wanted to say thanks for a great plug-in anyway. It fits my particular needs perfectly. Great layout, too.

I just tried playing albums with the yellow button in list view with both the blu and bluece2 skins and it worked fine for me. Can you email me you gbpvr.exe.log and the the log files from your jeff directory and I can take a look.

The problem might be that the istall program copies two images to the wrong place. if you look in the skin directory you will see two files named MoreRight.png and MoreLeft.png. You should move these into the "main menu" skin directory.

Jeff,

I moved the two files but my problem is OE. Following is my navigation (all on MVP with 45 button remote in list view):

arrow down to artist and click
arrow down to album and hit yellow
after testing this will only select the first song on the album even though the highlights are on album, light bulb went off when the yellow highlighted song is what plays

What works for what I'm trying to do:

arrow down to artist
arrow right to album list so it's highlighted (defaults to first album, DOH)
hit yellow button
life is good!

Sorry, I should have figured this out but the album being highlighted/focus in blue threw me off.

Thanks!

Is there a shuffle playlist option? Also, is there a way to delete something from a playlist?

The former would help mix things up when I add a whole folder of items. The latter would be nice to remove accidential dupes while making a list, or to remove the one song from an album play you don't like.

[Jeff]

There is no shuffle, but you can select a direcory as the source for the jukebox. However, given that the jukebox picks things at random, given a small set of song to pick from it will pick many duplicates.

As to removing things from the playlist, you can remove sings that have not yet played by navigating to the song and pressing the red button.
