Unzip the sjs file, edit main.sj in an editor (notepad), search for player.volume=255, remove line or replace with different value between 0/255, save & zip again.

mr eagle have heard of fan art this is the only thing
your bluetouch lacks and your skin would be the only
skin that would get away with this
the idea would be to place a jpg of the artist/band
on your comfirm selection screen would look mint if possible

Did as you suggested - the program started with the volume down at the level I set but the slider was still at 100% so I then had to turn up the amplifier to make it louder.

Perhaps I should have explained myself better. Is there any way to have the volume slider default at about 25% (and therefore have the volume level start at 25%) rather than 'full up' on start up?

Thank you

Apologies, I got it to work - I had copied the wrong *sjs file. Now works a treat. I look forward to seeing (and using) your future developments.

Thank you so much.

SilverEagle,
Wondering if you are modifying this to be able to utilize the video that is now supported in the new version?

I finally started playing with the silverjuke beta, unfortunately it does not work for me. But as soon as that is fixed I'll make sure the video is available to this skin.

Stay tuned...

SilverEagle,

Have some questions regarding the updated silverjuke 3.01 and your
Eagle Blue Touch.

Been taking a look at the code, and trying to figure out how to modify it to meet some of my desires.

1. Is it possible to add a button for a "Help" file to appear on screen without
interupting play or visuals? To show a snap-shot of the screens and some text explaining what they can or can't do, in step by step sections?

2. Is it possible to add a button for the Video Portions, such as "video: karaoke" and "video: music"?

3. Also noticed that silverjuke does not filter the name of a video file like mp3's. Meaning that there is no ID3 tag for videos. "J.River Media" Player allows for the program to read the file name and creates an XML to act like an ID3 tag.
example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<MPL Version="2.0" Title="JRSidecar">
<Item>
<Field Name="Filename">F:\Karoke Videos\KVA B's\KVA B 2 Bacilos\B2K\B2k - Gots Ta Be - Sc8766-01.avi</Field>
<Field Name="Stack View">0</Field>
<Field Name="Track #">1</Field>
<Field Name="Album">Sc8766</Field>
<Field Name="Name">Gots Ta Be</Field>
<Field Name="Duration">280</Field>
<Field Name="Date">39964.6534722222204437</Field>
<Field Name="Bitrate">179</Field>
<Field Name="Stack Top">-1</Field>
<Field Name="Artist">B2k</Field>
</Item>
</MPL>

Is there a way for silverjuke to do this?

The album cover is also only read from the file path, which is fine. because only one album cover is needed for a person to get the idea of the artist. But for others it may be necessary.

4. Is it possible to add a button to let users create their own "favorites", let's say for karaoke only (or administrators choice), then recall their favorites with their name or an assigned code (password), and also where they can add or delete songs from their favorites at will (depending on their password)? And then let them play a song from that list?

5. Also, if it is a karaoke or video file, is there a way to set the credits used to a specific # for those files, ie karaoke/video = -2 credits, music = -1 credit?
Still very new at this stuff, and trying like all get out to figure it.

If you want to have some help for serious hacking just register and send me a PM. Some quick answers:

> 1. Is it possible to add a button for a "Help" file to appear on screen without interupting play or visuals?

Yes, except when by 'visuals' you mean the video or visualisations - that will be rather hard to pull off.

> 2. Is it possible to add a button for the Video Portions, such as "video: karaoke" and "video: music"?

Yes, easy. See logic behind current support for karaoke/nonkaraoke selection, that would be easy extendible to as many predefined filters as you like.

If you can get silverjuke with its default skin to do it, it can be done with this skin. If not - it might not be theoretically impossible but it will be a lot harder.

Possible yes, but all depends on your coding skills. If you really can program (in whatever language) and look at my source and understand what is going on, then it is just a matter of perseverance...

> 5. Also, if it is a karaoke or video file, is there a way to set the credits used to a specific # for those files

Quite an easy fix. Best one of all your requirements to wet your toes so to speak. If you need guidance on this besides the scripting manual and the source for the skin, don't start thinking about implementing your number (4) idea
