Best way for Filefixer
« on: September 02, 2012, 12:18:08 PM »
Hi All,
Im just getting my music over to my videobox and im struggling to get the music to show on 2 lines. Its either showing the artist or the song title. So if i search for Michael Jackson, it just shows Michael Jackson for all tracks, or is there a way to use the tags from the tracks.
A majority of my songs are already tagged.

Look forward to your replies!!

Steve

Hi mrjrobinson

Filename Fixer will read your tags and set them as your filenname for mrjrobinson Videobox to read, It will also try to arrange the artist and title onto both lines for you.
Be carefull and test it on a couple of tracks untill you get the hang of how it works.

Still real struggling with the filename fixer.
There must be a definitive way of doing this. If anyone out there has found it, can you please share it with me  :(. Its hurting my brain. I have done so many variations of file fixing and not 1 of them have got the Artist and Song Title on a separate line.
Does screen resolution affect it?

Here is what I do  8)

Assuming your file TAGS are ok (none missing or empty etc).

Go into Videobox control panel and open the "GUI Adjustments page".

Select the "Wide Titles" button (bottom left corner) and then click the save button.

Close Videobox



Open Filename Fixer

Click Step 1 and select the files you wish to change.

Click step 2 and in the "Tagifier" section select "Tag Filename" & "Wide Titles" checkboxes (bottom left of screen)

Click step 3 (this will change your files by replacing the name of your files with the file's TAGS and it will also TRY to adjust the spacing for you)



Finally open Videobox and look to see if the results are what you want, if they are not to your liking you may adjust them manually.

 ;D

Hi Steve,
I have had to put in my drop box and make the file public.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/35850633/Robbie%20Williams%20-%20Candy.zip
The link is above. This is my dummy file like you suggested.

Could my video box software be setup wrong?

Cheers Buddy

The only setting that affects how the title displays in VBX is in the GUI adjustments page of the engineer menu, you can set to wide or short title widths, and you select to use either the title cards that come with the skin (which you have done) or you can use multi coloured titles.

I have not change the track you sent in any way, see the result on my machine in the attached image...

Do you have a program on your computer called TeamVeiwer?
This could enable you to look into my computer and see what im doing.
I have just put the track into the folder and its keeping the track on one line. So it seems its not splitting it onto 2 lines. Hmmmmm

I have sorted the filename problem. It was the display options not resolution. So by default windows sets the display to 125%, i have changed this to 100% and TADAAAAAA its now on 2 lines!!!
