The vis files for the xbox don't work with the win32 build. I dunno if in newer t3ch builds the _win32.vis are included but they're in the svn.

Thanks again for all your hard work!
With ProjectM I have the win32.vis version of it installed, and selected, but how do you add vis files for it? I saw for the linux version you are supposed to copy the files out of the visualizations/milkdrop folder into visualizations/projectM... is that right? I tried that and it doesn't seem to see it..

Thanks for the new build WiSo. It seems a little more stable than the last two. That said, where has the auto-generated thumbnail feature been banished to? Two releases ago, every video in my local videos would get an auto-generated screenshot for a thumbnail. The last release and this one both do away with that functionality. Is there any way to enable this? That feature was great for TV series (for movies I prefer the proper poster art).

it's extremely cleverly hidden in SETTINGS. i mean, which genious figured out that sticking it in the VIDEO FILES setting page made sense...

I finally found where to enable it on the latest releases. I also realize why I couldn't find it before. In the Settings\Video\General page, there is a blank line under 'Auto Resume From Last Position' with a radio button that can be selected. I initially assumed the button was grayed out and only active when the 'Auto Resume' function was enabled. After some trial and error, I discovered that that button was the missing 'Video Thumbnails' option.
Hopefully the skin can be updated to actually show some text on the line instead of a lonely, unlabeled radio button. Perhaps it's the resolutions I'm using but on 2 different systems (my HTPC at 1920x1080 and my Work PC at 1024x768) both have that option as a blank line. For those having a chuckle at my expense, it's an honest mistake.

Just installed and keep getting this error when I play a music file and then got back to the home menu while the music file is still playing? The music file is a wma does this matter?
This application has failed to start because xbox_dx8.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may thix this problem.
Any advice?

nothing we can do with YOU doing a faulty install (not updating english strings.xml properly).
and that error is you having milkdrop.vis selected - select one which actually werks on win32 sdl
