MonkeyFlow 1.4

[Werewolfhero]

any way to get it to show *.gif album art?

noticed all the pics that had the gif extention dont show for some reason.

[random]

Anybody know what skin that is on the OPs MM?

[kugel.]

It appears it doesn't sort by disc before track number. That bugs me very much.

So I deleted those files in user/AppData/Local/Temp and now MonkeyFlow starts fine but freezes when I change the background colour. My log file is as follows

Seems like the problem is that it needs a file on FlashK's desktop.

Can this be uploaded somewhere else, sorry for the inconvenience, its just that China blocks mediafire and almost everything on this forum is uploaded on mediafire, lol.

I have mirrored version 1.2.1 here... Embedded / External

Hey flashk,
Any further updates planned? I wonder if it would be possible for you to include the option for covers to be displayed in a CD-jewel case? See Album Player for an example (http://www.albumplayer.com/). Album Player does not have coverflow, and it would be great if you could include this as an option with Monkeyflow!

Cheers

Been noticing some odd behaviour of Monkeyflow for a while; with the larger covers, Monkeyflow displays them with funny lines and colours. The smaller covers do not seem to do this. Any ideas what is going on?

The cover should look like this: http://i39.tinypic.com/n1tq4k.jpg

But instead it looks like this: http://i43.tinypic.com/etsjnt.jpg

I ran into the same problem a while back, and t seems if the .jpg's are REALLY large (which many of mine were since
I scanned them to nearly full screen, hi res size) they tend to render as you describe. I simply went through each of them
using my graphics editor and slightly reduced them in size (say from 1400x1400 to 1100x1100) and MonkeyFlow would immediately
correct the image so it would look perfect.
Why that happens I'm not sure, but it is correctable if you take a little time.

That's called Moiré Pattern or Moiré Effect and it's not MonkeyFlow's fault. It happens with scanned images, when the little dots that form the original printed image are reduced/resized to certain levels in the scanned image. This effect can be corrected/reduced at scanning time or at editing time. At scanning time, the scanner driver itself applies the filter to reduce Moiré. This is the preferrable method. At editing time, you must use a filter provided by the image editor.
True thing is getting rid of Moiré Effect completely is a very tricky job.

As an additional note, take a big original digital image* (not a scanned one) and test it with MonkeyFlow. You'll notice Moiré doesn't happen.

Hope I have helped.

* You can follow this link and take only the 1500x1500 images to make this test.

Thanks guys!

I just wanted to clarify that in no way did I mean to imply this was MonkeyFlow's
fault. MonkeyFlow is far and away the best plug in I've ever seen in ANY music program,
and it's why MM is now the only mp3 program I use. The way MonkeyFlow looks and works
on my 60" HD TV is a sight to behold.........

Hello there, and thanks for this great script

I had to install a new driver for my nvdia graphic card to make it work.

Now I see some of the covers (takes time) but when I click on it or uses "play now" nothing happens ;(

Any idea why ?

[ashenkin]

how do i get monkeyflow back in MM after I close the window in MM?
