Very, very nice work!! I really like the layout.

What device are you testing this on?

I am an expert at acting like an expert ---- WC Fields.

Hi,

this might be what I have been looking for for a while.

I have a Silverstone GD-02MT with LCD Touch display (Soundgraph IMON SW).

However, I do not like the software, of IMON.

I would like to use the Frontview LCD Touchdisplay for all issues, which you would like to to without having the TV running.

--> Play a CD / play music from media library / play internet radio or e.g. lookup weather info

--> I installed your Yatse and I like the design very much.

Unfortunately I cannot get the CD starting directly (CDDB selection is shown on the TV screen, and does not start until selected) and additionally after start of the CD, I do not see any info in Yatse, neither have a "Start-Next-Stop" button, ... what am I'm doing wrong ?

Your screenshots are great ... I want it ;-) ...!

Btw: I am using Win7 32Bit on an Zotac Ion 330 platform, should be latest version of XBMC, since I just updated it by today.

Thank you for sharing your work with us, and I am hoping for updates which will make my HTPC what I was dreaming of ... !

Best regards

Hi,

Glad you like this projectSmile i too don't like the imon Wink
Your needs are quite the same as mine that's why i started this project.

For weather info and other function like the imon's one it's not for soon too much work before that Smile

At this moment the software is aimed for library usage, if you have a library with cover / fanart you should have the same interface than the screen shots.
(For music genre if you have image for genre that are not by default just put them in Skin\Default\Music_Genre )

For the CD direct start i did not test since not having drive on the htpc, i'll look what is possible to do for next version

The files are in the Langs sub directory.

One XML for each language, UTF8 encoded.

Thanks.

Small update
- Settings are now stored in the application directory (simpler to reset)
- Support for PlayCD directly (Add a button for that and eject on the remote panel)
- Small corrections and logs for screen resolution changes (For logs you must change in Yatse.Settings the ligne Debug to true).

I'll give you a feedback, then.

BTW: Whats your OS ? WinXP ? Vista or Win7 ?

I still have problems getting it to work.

Should I delete the configfile ? I often get (in Win7) the feedback that Yatse is not working probably and has to be closed.
