Title: How to control music and pics simultaneously?
Post by: tombert on September 07, 2007, 03:09:05 pm

When playing music and then starting a slide-show the buttons previous/next/stop do control the music but not the slideshow. Is there a way to switch between what the buttons control - either music or pics?

thx

Space bar starts and stops the slideshow.  Page up and Page Down go forward and back.

How do you stop the slideshow completely without stopping the music as well? I'll often kick off a slide show when some music, along with my favourite vizualisation, is already playing. The slide show takes over from the viz (which is fine) but hitting space bar to stop the slide show doesn't return to it, it simply pauses it. The other issue is that MC will show the default cover art when restarting the music rather than my previously selected visualisation (though this has been raised many times before).

Due to all this, I find the simplest way to play music and images together is by starting the slide show in a different MC zone. However, it would still be nice if the above could be addressed one day.

Thanks.

Spacebar does stop playback.

Other possibilities...

Explore the right click options when you're playing.
