Is it possible to download a trial version of 'Pi Jukebox' that includes MP4 music video files to evaluate how it operates?
I have been porting over my MP3 music files from my PC version of 'Home Jukebox' onto my Pi 400 machine to trial with some success. However, I notice it completely ignores any MP4 files so it is not possible to evaluate how the new software operates with them added in order to decide whether to purchase the 'Pro version' license or stick with just the 'Basic' (music files only) license.
Also, I notice a couple of 'niggly' issues:-
- Where song titles exceed (approx) 18 characters, the text wraps around as a second line of text on the title cards and therefore obscures the artist name. I think the song title text should be (maybe optionally) truncated so the artist text still shows in the title cards.
- There appears to be a couple of albums that I have (contained in a separate folder) where a particular individual track is sorted out of sequence. I don't know if this is a 'Pi' computer issue as I do not have the same issue on my version of 'Home Jukebox' on my PC (Windows 10).
- Using a mouse to click on either the right of left scroll arrows only scrolls the display one title card width of music. On Home Jukebox, this action scrolls as many title cards as fits on a screen width at a time making scrolling much easier and faster when no touch screen is available.
Lastly, it must be noted that all music files require tagging with cover art to ovoid 'random' art being attached. In Home Jukebox, a JPG file attached to a music folder would be used where individual tracks had no cover art. This is not the same with Pi Jukebox but is not a particular issue for me. It has prompted me to tag all my music files as needed before importing the folders over to my Pi 400 via USB stick.
