Trixmoto, The Lyrics external panel is not displaying the entirety of the lyrics for me. That is though the track properties show the complete lyrics, not all the text is displayed in the external panel, It is often cut off in mid word, though I cannot discern a pattern as to why it cuts off. Perhaps the tracks lyrics are longer than the size alloted for the external panel?

There's an option called "character limit" which limits the number of characters

Hello Trixmoto,

Any chance to add an option to change the character limit of the Biography Panel?
It would be awesome.
Cause as it is now, I have to open my internet browser to load the complete biography. (clicking on "more information" link) And that is a bit tedious.

Thank you.

There already is an option!

What skin is that, gpzbc?

[gpzbc]

It is DreadM's UMP beta skin. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... 9&p=260209
You can get the link for all of his MonkeyRok skins in his signature.

@Trixmoto and gpzbc

Doh!! I never noticed that option before. Thanks for the heads up. I have increased the number of characters and all is well.

[gpzbc]

I've done the same thing many times.
I'm glad you figured it out.

hey trix just came across a small issue ....

when i right click on the video player and click watch on youtube so that i can see the video full size MR opens internet explorer 64 bit version by default

it seems that there is not yet flash support for the 64 bit version

how can i change it so that MR opens the 32 bit IE by default?

and why is it that the track video is cut off except for the right most edge in all tabbed skins i ve tried? ....

I put the limit to 99999 but the Biography is still cut out.
Any Idea?

@danasince1979 - I think I may be opening the link directly instead of using javascript like the other "more information" links do to ensure that the default browser is used - I'll get this fixed in the next version. With regards to the video being cut off, I think YouTube has a minimum size for the video - is your panel wide enough to accommodate this?

@Dreadlau - the biography that is used is the summary biography, not the full biography - this is by design. Or do you mean that words are still being cut off in the middle? Can you give me an example?

No problem of words being cut out.
So its only a summary. I understand now.
Would be nice to have an option to get the full biography inside the MR panel.
Maybe the "more information" link could bring up the full Biography, instead of opening the internet browser for that?

[trixmoto]

Ok, I'll see what I can do in the next version.

thanks for looking into the link thing

about the video player it displays fine in non tabbed skins (all of them) and at a fairly narrow width:


but in tabbed skins (all of them including bundled) the player is pushed to the left leaving just the right edge no matter how wide i make MR:

Trix,

I tend not to use skins. I usually choose "Override skin theme with Windows System theme" from Options.

Unfortunately, this means I don't get stars in Monkey Rok. I really like the speed and options of 5.3, but am really frustrated by the big red "X"s in the window, so I'd really rather not go back to using an older version. Any suggestions?
