BlueTouch V3 beta

[corylorentz]

SilverEagle - This touchscreen interface just keeps getting better and better with every update, nice work! I really liked the addition of the karaoke on/karaoke off, that was a huge plus for me with this jukebox. One thing I did notice when playing around with it a bit more was that if I clicked on an album that had only one track (both audio and karaoke libraries), that track would be added to the playlist automatically.

Doing a bit of digging on this post I noticed that you actually made this a feature of the skin. I'm wondering if there is an option to have this added back in or some text file I could manipulate.

I know there is an option to enable the "confirmation to queue a track" window, which works okay, but then that sort of defeats the purpose of single click play. It is also a bit confusing for users when some album covers open to a tracklist and some don't, it almost makes it seem like there is a defect.

Anyway, it would be nice to have an option to have this feature turn on or off if that's possible.

Great work otherwise!

Thanks,

Cory

You found a GUI bug

I full agree that this behaviour is very inconsistant if you have confirmations turned off. I probably always tested only with confirmations on...

Taking the time to do your homework always should be rewarded:-)

I changed the behaviour to only suppress the list when confirmations are off, I think an option is not needed cause now it has the most natural flow in all cases.

I also had another nice addition waiting: if you click the album cover you are shown the tracklist for that album. Makes it easy to add another track from the same album if a nice song comes up in your playlist.

Have fun!

please please add the ability to view the list of next songs by clicking on the small list of next songs. It could come up with a similar dialog off when you click on an album however without the ability to add songs obviously, and have just a close button

Hey,
Is it possible to create another button under the karaoke button that would show only the songs that have videos? I suppose it would be similar to the karaoke button in that a video selection is pre made and the button activates that selection. I've had a little bit of a look though your code and found it a little hard to implement. Any help would be appreciated, if not, I'll give it another go.
Thanks

Naturally, you answered yourself:

100% correct.

> I've had a little bit of a look though your code and found it a little hard to implement.

Yes, it's a tiny bit layered and modular

Find everything with word karaoke inside or in filename. Then comment out one item at the time and see what it does. Just duplicate the button handful of pixels below, then when you have two working karaoke buttons replace the icon and the code. PM me for more info if needed.

Hi All,

Found myself a free hour and did some hacking. Made a reddish (brownred?) skin variant.

It's just a butch job with a photoshop colorshift and a global find and replace util, I did not code a single character or change a single pixel by hand.

If someone really wants a different color you could try and ask. People posting a photograph of a dedicated cabinet needing a personal makeover will get served first...

Hey Silvereagle,

Vielen Dank, für das umarbeiten des Skins und das ich meine ideen mit einbringen durfte.
Schmerzlich vermisst habe ich in Deiner neuen Skin Version die ToDo - Text Datei ...
Heißt wohl das keine Neuerungen mehr geben wird - Allerdings ist der Skin ja auch Super !

Ich wünsche Euch allen ein frohes Weihnachtsfest
Wir sehen uns hier bestimmt mal im nächsten Jahr wieder, vielleicht gibt es dann ja mal wieder was neues !

Als Dank hier wieder meine Black Edition :

Hey Silver Eagle

Thanks for the rework of the skins and I mean that could contribute with ideas.
I have sorely missed in your new skin version of the ToDo - text file ...
Does well give no more changes will be - but the skin is super, too!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas
We'll see you here again next year once determined, then yes maybe there is something new again!

Thanks again as my Black Edition:

He SE, still using and loving Bluetouch V3.

Since we still have a few decades until your is ready, I was hoping you might be willing to tweak Bluetouch V3 again this year.

What I'd like is a toggle button on the interface for the Limit Tracks feature. This would allow users to see either the entire catalog or just the limited version. That would make it easier to satisfy both the 'mainstream' crowd and those that enjoy poring through the entire catalog.

Would adding that toggle button be difficult? Would shameless bribing make it any easier?
