actually for GL it says it's SVN 24001.

i can confirm both the keyboard/widget issues in aeon showmix and the digital audio issues are fixed. did not check DX yet, but it should be similar there.

for the record:

exactly the same applies to SVN 24001 DX.

Plus, video overlay in DX now stays inside it's given dimensions. i'm quite happy Nod

Just installed Rev23944-gl as i had read somewhere the problem with RecentlyAdded.py running at startup had been fixed, well it is still broke and that was after a complete reinstall with no library either.
I hope this gets resolved soon

a new one, more for the skinning league again..

looks like in current svns (well, since a while now) at the music section the database path is no longer available to the skin. this means container.folderpath,MUSICDB: cannot be read anymore, thus a condition like

<visible>!substring(container.folderpath,MUSICDB://2/,Left) + Player.HasAudio</visible>

does not work anymore.

any chances this gets fixed? it used to work before the merge (and still does on 22516)

When I had read on the Changelog that the annoying 'Pause with Digital Passthrough' bug had been fixed (in 24004 by Charlydoes), I was anxious to get an updated version. Well, I just installed 24020 from mindweaver's link and I am over the moon. 98% of my issues have been resolved and the DirectX version IMO has now surpassed the OpenGL version. I love how seamlessly it works with Windows 7 Aero (I can switch back and forth from Windowed to FullScreen). I'm even enjoying the limited version of Milkdrop. I can't wait until presets start working in Milkdrop. Kudos to everyone involved!!

Revision 24020 from nightly builds works like a charm that means i'm good to go as that was my last bug that
needed fixing(that i know of) big thanks to those guys who fixed it

24020 works fine, both keyboard and digital audio, and finally it can flag H264 correctly in TS files !!

Tested r24020 DX.

No reason to stick to the GL Builds anymore - Great Work. Alt tabbing from fullscreen to Windowed has been working for a while.

Thanks for porting the visualisations also.
