Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more

I find the .bmp pictures can be displayed as the cover when playing mp3/wma files。（the picture‘s name is same with the music file).
But I play the FLAC music,The Cover can't be displayed.Why?
In the next version,Will it be supported for FLAC’s cover？

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more

Ok I have had some success troubleshooting. One of my albums had a “✝” character in the song tags. I removed the cross character and things got much better.

The next issue I moved to was trying to get more than 10 albums to display cover art. No matter what I did (pretty much the same steps as below in the quote) I could not get more than 10 covers to display. I tried several different songs, albums, and even manually adding cover art twice in iTunes.

I tried updating using the built in Media Indexing, no change. It seems to scan the folders, but does seem to rebuild. I tried deleting both idx files and the.mediabox directory on the MMC card. Again it only sees one album. I navigated using Mediabox's folder view and it sees al the music there. AFter I navigated back to the album view 4 more albums were listed...there should be 10 or so...but only two with art. Sigh.

I'm very bummed. The best advantage Mediabox has is the large button car view, but I jsut have not had good consistent results with Mediabox.

The name of the cover art file doesn't matter. cover.jpg and cover.png take precedence when looking for a cover, but any filename (with a recognized extension) will do.

Does this mean that indexing does now work as expected. It would be great if you could send me a sample file with this character in the song tags.

Are the files all in the same folder?

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more

Pycage,

I was putting them all in the same folder. I'll be experimenting more later today. I may remove all the music and add a new collection to see what happens.

I'll check on that character “✝”.

Sorry, but the hardware doesn't appear to be capable of better handling... :(

Maybe you should set" One Click "as The Next Song,and Push and Hold as Play/Pause.
It will be easier distinguish between One Click and Hold for N800,I guess.
Thankyou

I really would like to, but this stupid piece of headset hardware only knows "button pressed". Click and hold is not detectable... :(

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more

Will it support lyric display in the next vertion?
I have many .lrc files ,I like this function.
Just like this picture(Meizu M8 mobile phone），the word will change color of the lyric when the song arrive at this sentence.

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more

This is a great idea!
I'll put it on my TODO list. Thanks! :)

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more

MediaBox 0.96.5 will have support for LRC lyrics files. :)
