No, 0.96.5 is still the latest release. But we're heading towards a 0.97 release. But I think I'm gonna leave the 0.x versioning scheme and call it 2009.10 or similar. It's less confusing. :)

I wanted to try my hand at creating one that matches the instrument panels on my RSX, which is dark with red details.

New themes are always welcome. There is a tutorial at

If you have any questions about theme making just ask. :)

Re: A couple of Mediabox questions
 
pycage,

For your next release, can you add an option, within the playlist and/or within the media groups (video, audio) to delete the media from the device as well as simply removing from the playlist? Perhaps a pop-up wehn you remove from the playlist? It is a pain to delete from the playlist, then having to open another app (terminal or file manager) to delete the media.

Re: A couple of Mediabox questions
 
pycage, another issue. Not sure what is going on with it, but here is my situation.

I have, among other things, in my .sounds directory, Pink Floyd's Is There Anybody Out There, which is a 2 cd set. Originally, the mp3s were named like

Code:

01_McAtmos.mp3
01_Hey_You.mp3
etc.

I tried moving the songs from disc 2 to a different directory, but MediaBox still saw them in numerical order rather than track order. So I renamed them to 1_01, 1_02...2_01, 2_02, etc.

Well, now, when I try to access the directory through the Albums tab in the browser, the album opens, but none of the tracks. If I try to access it through the Artists tab and drill down to the album, I get each song on the second disc twice, and none from the first disc.

Going into Music Folders gives me two Is There Anybody Out There folders, both containing the songs from disc 2.

Any ideas?

I'm working hard on it for Fremantle and Diablo releases.

Sweet! Thanks pycage. Just out of curiosity, did you see my questions above? MediaBox has been acting strangely lately. I can get to some files only by drilling down into the directory, but not through artist or album. When I try to open the artist or album, it opens (the open icon changes to add to playlist, but no files appear under it). Adding to playlist says it is adding, but no files are actually added.

I have tried deleting my playlist, could something have gotten corrupted under the .mediabox directory?

What happens if you remove the two .idx in the .mediabox directory?

That did it. Thanks pycage.

I've had to fsck the card twice now, and both led to issues...Have to remember not to do that again... :)
