V 2.8.0 + Wish List

[stampy69]

can we have some of usage logger.......so we can see:

what songs were played and at what time, ( would help to determine most popular usage hours)
if the pin code was entered or any attempts made to guess the pin code. (helps to see unauthorised entry to control panel)
when the program was started and shutdown, (help to know how early the machine is turned on and off during the day)
if the jukebox was closed (mode button on remote) and for how long,
if control panel is accessed, a log of what was changed on what day and time.

please add custom themeing to the new release, please!!
along with a themes submission page on the forums!!

any progress on a logger yet guys???........I've tested a few other juke programs now and one in particular has a great log option (virtual music jukebox)

it shows when the machine was turned on, what songs were played, what time a coin was inserted, how many were inserted and the total value that should be in the machine for that day....PERFECT, sadly the rest of the program wasnt upto videoboxes standard.

Surely you guys could impliment this if other juke software companies are

heres an example of how it logs:

Would really appreciate .PNG file type for Genre images.

I am currently only getting 21 items on the popular albums section , so at smaller pic sizes I'm not filling the whole screen , only half , is this correct or is it changeable somehow?.

[stampy69]

what resolution you running at??

[Dj4nrv]

1024x768 i think , il have to check later.
I shrunk my album artwork down to 110 pixel via the back menu of vjb.
Are you getting more than 21 stampy??

[stampy69]

i'll have to check, i'm on 1240x1080 and at the standard sized album pics (still using videobox 2.6)

I'm getting 7x4 pics showing which is 28 on one screen.....but i could easily make that 7x5 if i shunk them just slightly. almost fits 7x5 now, which is 35 pics on one screen

[stampy69]

actually check out this thread theres a screen shot that'll show you> http://jukeblaster.com/forum/index.php?topic=558.0

Its just the popular albums page stampy
Within genres its fine and displays however many albums are in that genre.
But the poular albums section will only display a maximum of 21.
I was going to do a reinstall but first i thought id ask to c if any one is having the same issue.

[stampy69]

so you can fit more then 21 covers in genres??....how is popular albums different, arent the covers the same size as genre covers?

[jukejohn]

ill let you know dj next week got a ssd 240gb to instal on my juke at the moment its got nothing on it
stampy has his in a-z setup so dont think he seeing what you are seeing

[stampy69]

I've asked before but can we get a key assigned that will bring up the enter pin code screen to get into options.

For some reason on my touchscreens when i hold the screen at bottom left to bring it up nothing is happening so i have to plug a keyboard in and press the tab key.

I'm planning to install a little 9 digit keyboard on the side so i can do it there instead.

the most p[robable cause of this is ur touchscreen either the driver is not configured to allow holddown or ur ts is one of the type membrane covering screen (we ave one like this) i bet if you try a few times and keep ur finger held realy still it will wor and open teh pinpad

[stampy69]

yeah its annoying, some screens work and others dont.....they're all setup the same though as i've cloned 15 hard drives so they're all identical.

these are actually touch screen panels over the top of lcd screens.....there is an option for hold down time but it dosent seem to do anything

The joys of buying cheap panels from china i guess!
