eJukebox v3.998 -> v4.1 BugList:
1) A white flash appears on track changes in the now playing, the playlist and songlist
panels: [Fixed in v3.999 Beta7]
This bug appeared rescently, well maybe not! But it is related to the use of filters in skins...
Maybe a solution could be that we can choose the color of the flash in our skins, if the flash itself can't be avoid? Because it's not always
possible to remove the filters...
2) eJukebox hides the Windows taskbar: [Fixed in v3.999 Beta6]
**** This bug doesn't occur if you have your Windows taskbar "Always visible", but still
OCCURS if you have only checked "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows" ****
The eJukebox window, when it is maximized (from a smaller size) allow the taskbar to show up normally, but once it has been reduced and restored it
masks the taskbar.
I notice the maximized eJ window doesn't fill the entire screen: It remains 1 row of pixels at the bottom. In fact the eJ window just moves 1 pixel
up. Is it to keep the taskbar visible?
OK, that doesn't bother me, but the only problem is: Once eJ has been restored from the taskbar, the eJ window M-O-V-E-S 1 pixel
D-O-W-N and it H-I-D-E-S the taskbar!
NB: I've already checked the Windows taskbar property: "Keep the taskbar on top of other windows". Unfortunetly, that doesn't solve the
problem...
3) The up next area is empty on startup: [Fixed in v4.2!]
When I start eJukebox in autoplay CUSTOM or BOOKMARK modes without the "start playback on startup" option checked, the next song area is empty or
sometimes it just duplicates the now playing song. The forward button is anactive.
NB: This is a very old bug!  Here is a SUMMARY of where we were at the last
news... :

So I think others users don't have this bug because probably they don't have their "start playback on startup" option unchecked.
|
Ah...nice work Pirk... that is it! 
I can actually duplicate the problem now! I will try to get it working for when 'start playback on startup' is disabled.
| Quote: |
Ah... Ok, it's another bug caused by the same issue!
|
Yes it is all related the way the currently playing and first song in the playlist are initialized in EJ at startup. When there is no current
song set EJ gets confused. |
Audiosoft,
Have you make some progress concerning this bug?
4) The now playing image GROW out of control...: [Fixed in v3.999 Beta6]
**** This bug occurs only partially if you have your Windows taskbar "Always visible"
****
When eJ starts, or when it is maximized, or also when the resizing vertical bar is moved: Maybe a drift caused by a wrong calculation?
NB: The smallest image size is not affected by this bug!
NB2: The taskbar "Always visible" doesn't solve the problems at startup and when the vertical bar is moved! Sorry if it's so complex..
5) The tracks # are not extracted from the file names for non-mp3 files: [Fixed in v4.1]
Each time I add non-mp3 files to eJukebox all the infos are correctly extracted from the file names EXCEPT the tracks #! Why??
I name my non-mp3 files as recommended: track# - artist - title.xxx, but eJukebox seems to ignore the track#. It appears none track# in eJukebox, the
corresponding field in the songlist is empty!
Is this a bug or a deliberate omission?!
Thanks.

I don't see a white flash
I am playing songs as I write this reply and my system doesn't display a white flash during track changes. FYI, I am using the default skin. Could
this be a skin issue rather than an EJukebox issue?
As far as the task bar being hidden, EJukebox has always performed this way for me an I took it for granted that this was the way it was meant to be.
I am pretty used to it by now. I either use the "windows hot key" or -<alt> tab- to navigate in and out of EJ.
I haven't paid much attention to issues 3, 4 & 5. I don't know where I myself stand on those issues. On my system issue #1 doesn't seem to
exist and I was never concerned with issue #2.
In a situation where seconds count, the cops are only minutes away.

Rankled,
The white flash is only shocking with a dark skin, and that only occurs if you use a skin with some css filters in the now playing, the playlist or
the songlist panel. The good Arctic skin combines all these conditions.. Of course if you use the default skin or the silvertunes skin this problem is
not a obviousness!
To summarize: Dark page + css filter(s) -> white flash on track change!

I also proceed like that, but it's not normal... eJukebox is the ONLY program which locks the taskbar, apart some old DOS programs in windows 98!!
It's not a nuisance if you have a dedicated PC for eJukebox, but if like me you run it on your main PC.. it's damned pain!

Pirk,
I have no idea what you are guys are talking about with the taskbar. Can you give me a screenshot?
The 1 pixel between the taskbar and eJukebox is required for eJukebox to be able to resize vertically by dragging the bottom bar. Otherwise eJukebox
will ALWAYS shrink the height when you try to drag the bottom border. For example, it needs the 1 pixel to be able to drag to if you try to resize the
height when you have eJukebox not at full height and aligned with the bottom. Hard to explain exactly but there is no way around the 1 pixel bottom
border except for going into full screen.
I will look into the other stuff and fixing the flicker for dark skins.

Audiosoft,
Really? If you read my #3 and its quoted lines, I thought you was already aware..  [edit] Well, sorry in fact I confused #2 & #3..
A screenshot? Well it's not easy to show a 1 pixel hidden row, but here we go..

OK..
I'm not bothered because of the 1 pixel row, not at all! If you need to keep a row of 1 pixel hidden at the top and 1 free row
at the bottom, why not if it's necessary.
But why, after eJ has been restored, the entire eJ window MOVES (ITSLEF) DOWN of 1 pixel - and so HIDES the task bar!! ?? I think THIS DOWN MOVE CAUSE
the bug!
I don't see any reason for a down move of the eJ window after it is restored which ending to mask the task bar! I don't think that move is
intentional or necessary?
PS: What is sure is that I would not do a good teacher...

Exactly Audiosoft,
The problem is: after I restored eJ from the taskbar, we LOSE these 1 pixel between the taskbar and eJukebox.. THIS, is the BUG!
Thanks.

Audiosoft,
I've just noticed that the bugs #2 and #4 don't occur if I set my Windows
taskbar as "Always visible"!
I suppose YOU have your taskbar always visible... Mine is "Always on top" but also "Automatically Hidden".

My taskbar always shows when I have the "keep taskbar on top" checked. When it is unchecked, which I prefer, it stays hidden under ejukebox.

That does not work and that is your point I guess. Personally I prefer to have those option disabled, so I am not affected by this bug Adi bladi

So maybe you could break your studies  and help me to explain that to
Audiosoft?
Because I use to keep my taskbar "Always on Top" but "Automatically Hidden" when it is not used: eJukebox is a lot more attractive with the
taskbar hidden!
Thanks.

Audiosoft,
If you want to figure the bugs #2 and #4, Please you should check the property "Auto-hide the taskbar" on your system during a few days. So you will
see the problems caused by this setting...
Notice that all the other applications work perfectly using these settings.
Thanks.

OK Pirk,
I get it now. Autohide taskbar causes the 'problem'. Though I do not understand why you hide the taskbar when you are using windows at such a high
resolution. I guess that is just your preference.
A long time ago I used to hide the taskbar on win95 when I was still using 800x600 but these days it is easier just to have it always visible since it
takes up so little space. If i want eJukebox to be full screen I use full screen on the maximize button menu.
Anyways I will look into the coding of this again now that I can reproduce the problem by hiding the taskbar.

Ahh, Thank you so much Audiosoft!
Sorry for my complaint on a so old-fashioned Windows feature!
Yes, I use to keep my taskbar hidden -and not only my taskbar!- . Too bad if
it's no more in fashion.. Although I would be surprised if I was the only one to still procede like that, in 2006!
Like I said, I use eJukebox on my main and only PC.. on which I also use all the other applications. And as eJukebox looks better without the taskbar,
I prefer to keep the taskbar hidden, so I can switch easily and quickly between eJ and all the rest! Yes man!
PS: You know, in France we use to be at least 10 years behind you, Americans! so... Probably I will show my taskbar only in 10 years! Or maybe when the Windows taskbar will be nicer...
Thanks.

I want to add a bug to your list.
6 When you exit after playing a fullscreen 3d game ejukebox resets the album cover image and refuses to be maximized from the
maximize button. A restart of ejukebox is needed for this to function again.
7 Is there somthing that can be done with the bug related to refreshing the albumlist while it is building?
Problems also occur if you enter albums (in the songlist) while the albumlist builds (it suddenly stops loading). At least on large collections.
That said most, if not all of the most irritating bugs, seems to be fixed. I am impressed by the progress the last couple of months. She (she is a she
right?) has grown out of puberty.

I know the carousel get's the attention these days.. But..
The bugs described in this post are real and irritating. Some of them have been fixed. But #3 and 5 (as described by Pirk) and ej users should be
able to run 3d applications in fullscreen, without having to restart the program in order to get the size of albumimages to work correctly.
As for bug #5 this would have been fixed by the proposed textfile system, that would make ejukebox support every file format (read and write) there
is. Not supporting flac and other lossless formats these days are going to leave off many potential customers. Hence, a system making ejukebox support
tag editing of those files, should get priority? Even if that includes some hidden files and workarounds.
As well I would look into the wishlist for 4.0 in the forums. I hope for many alphas and betas of ejukebox 4.0, it deserves to be superiour to the 3.x
series and than all known bugs from the latest version should be fixed. Probably loads of work, but some of these issues need attention.
Thank you and keep up the good work
