Title: Easter Egg? - Either way, please don't change this
Post by: Marko on May 02, 2003, 09:49:16 am

Easter Egg - Surfing Juke as default coverart image

1. Assign an image file to a track
2. Rename, move or delete the image file from windows explorer.
3. Play the track and run one of the "collage" vizualisations that display coverart.

I thought this was pretty neat. A victim of progress, but his spirit still lives inside Media Center.
Please don't change this.

Post your support for the spirit of Surfin' Juke below :)

Any way you could optimize that JPEG a bit, to trim it down from 274 KB?

Just goofing (not that it's a bad question).   ;D

He's actually a feature. You now know that if SJ makes an impromptu appearance that your coverart got broke somehow ;)

Nah, not at all, after all, it had to be in there somewhere didn't it, whether compiled in the exe, or stashed away in one of the subbies. I went looking for it when he first appeared and found that one, I've got another one at : C:\Program Files\Media Center\Data\WebPages\MediaJukebox.gif too.
