OT - Media Center Easter Egg
« on: April 01, 2003, 01:34:15 pm »
If something about a Russian with a rubber chicken makes you laugh, try this:

1) Help -> About

2) Hold down [Shift], right-click on each letter in MEDIA CENTER, one after the next

3) Hit [Esc]

4) Change 3 files to the genre 'Russian Rap' and play them

5) Enter party mode

6) Wait at least 1 minute

7) Help -> About

Matt's trying to distract you from the fact that he decided to remove audio playback of everything but APE files from today's build.

Sorry, Matt.  It won't work.

Do I have to listen to all three files all the way through?

And do I have to edit each file's genre individually? Or can I do it through Properties?

I can't seem to get this to work... :P

LOL.
Sure it's complex enough to find that east egg.
No wonder you told us about it, I cant see anyone discovering that one by accident :)

That's a little tasteless Matt. But the chicken looks real enough to me.

Do you have to enable ID3v2 tagging for this to work?  I can't get it, but...

No need to do that ... but you have to make sure the three songs you play are at least 30 minutes long. And you have to play them all the way through.
Matt, you should have mentioned that. I first tried to be smart using very short songs  :P

Well,

It works but Matt made a mistake and forgot some steps, because I tried several times, waited for more than 30 mn. and easter egg was not showing. So here's what I discovered :

you should add a few steps after 7) and that is

8 ) Hold down [Shift], right-click on each letter in www.jriver.com/mediacenter (bottom right in red), one after the next

9) Hit [Esc] again

10) play a file of genre Russian rap

11) wait for at least an hour

12) Help / Interact...

enjoy :)

NB: for step 8 ) I recommend at least a 22" monitor.
