this machine is i added a remote but i havent remapped any keys so im lost it doesnt
give more then a second and says nothing found    just will not play ball

HI John

I will try to help  , need a little clarification of the problem, you said "not searching", can you describe in more detail what happens when you type something in and then try to search ?.

My best thought for now is that you may have VBX searching in a diferent folder from where your music files are, did you update your music location recently or anything ?.

[jukejohn]

hi steve
yes updated my music not sure when the search last worked
when you search it instantly says not found

[Steve]

Ok John

Only 2 things spring to mind at the moment......

1. there are no music files in the music location you have set (most probable)

2. you typed a search term that cannot be found in your music filenames

[jukejohn]

ok ill go back to the beggining again tomorrow
i know its me thats cocked up  ill let you know steve thanks
still got a few more beers to finnish 

[jukejohn]

if i reset the music directory to c\jbp vjb default sample music it works fine
however when i set it to d\jbp were all my albums are it loads them but will
not do a search on this drive  just says nothing found

[Steve]

Ok John

I double-checked, there is nothing wrong with the program, so...

My best guess for now is that you have a problem in your folder structure, something like an extra level or something like (D:\JBP\JBP\ blah blah blah)

[jukejohn]

i know its not the software but cant make any sense of it if it sees displays
and plays the files why will it not search them its got me

[Dj4nrv]

you may of already tried this but....
maybe one of buttons on your remote is in an always pressed/on state ???will it let you enter the search criteria??  try disconnecting the remote ?? strip it down to bare setup and hope it goes away then add stuff back until the fault returns??

[jukejohn]

this is a nightmare i have removed the remote and closed down my remapping
software also reinstaled vjb and just run xp repair option from disc just in case
its if the drive doesnt exsist need it up and running for weekend
its a stand alone jukebox its not connected to the internet the only thing
i can possibly relate this to is when i upgraded from 2.0 to 2.5 but now
as 2.6 running

Is your background music folder different to your library folder?
Could it be a conflict between the two libraries?
It's all I can think of ?

[jukejohn]

i think the only way around this is to reformat the drive delete the partion [d] were the
music is and just do it as one drive so when a fresh instal of vjb creates the sample c/jbp
ill just put all my music in there means useing a full afternoon which is tight to spare
at the moment so if anybody could think of things to try please do so might save me
a afternoons work
this just doesnt seem logical to me

John

You dont need to reformat or delete partitions to clean your system of Videobox.

1.backup your license

2. uninstall Videobox

3.clean your Appdata folder of folders named 'Videobox' ( c:\Users\yourusername\Appdata\Local\), delete any folders named 'Videobox'.

4. re-install Videobox
