I have since may years disabled Car Radio in general settings under features. But the thing still pops up on panel, but empty obviously. That's a bit irritating.

PS:
How do I remove Radio JRiver from panel? I already have my own radio panel item with exactly the stations I want.

[JimH]

I don't believe you can.

One of the main points with MC is that we are free to organize and play our media without being locked down to a few preset ways of organizing and browsing it or locked to one specific file format and so on. Not like Apple and others locking us into what they decide is best for us or even worse, they decide what they want to push down our throats by locking in advertisements or even their idea of "features" into the software we use.

Are you making a direction change for MC, deciding for us and forcing functionality onto us?

[JimH]

I guess we are.  Sorry.

[magnust]

Are you ironic? Did I come out to aggressive? Ok, let's restart.

Obviously I don't like having services like radio and/or functionality I don't want forced into the interface.

The CarRadio stuff can probably be manually hacked out of the javascript code?

[JimH]

We're not going to make everything customizable.

[magnust]

That's ok. But forcing web radiostations into my music collection?

What's the problem - if you can't ignore a few buttons on the panel interface it is a sad day.

[magnust]

I'm surprised... Not happy if you continue down this slippery slope. Here are some radio stations you should listen too. Here's a music store you should get music from. Here's an advertisment for some artist we've decided to promote (not connected to your listening habits). Here's a music style we want to promote that we've decided you need to listen to. If it was custom suggestions superintelligently derived from my listening habits, okay. But just what you decide, NO.


Anyway. Both buttons are now GONE and not visible anymore in my MC.

What's the problem - if you can't ignore a few buttons on the panel interface it is a sad day.

Just waiting for this now:

IKEA just sent me this message:
"What's the problem - if you can't ignore some unused extra shelves in your closet it is a sad day."

Ford:
"What's the problem - if you can't ignore some mandatory green wheels on your car it is a sad day."

Life's too short. Ease up.

[magnust]

Nonono, life's not too short to get annoyed 



Here's a tool to remove (and restore) the two items:

BTW: It looks like you might have a small mistake in your code in the Panel\root\default\index.html

[JimH]

It looks like you might have a small mistake in your code in the Panel\root\default\index.html

You could post details here or send them to brad at jriver.  Thanks.

[magnust]

Currently the file C:\Program Files\J River\Media Center 24\Data\Panel\Root\Defaultindex.html has this in it:

body,button{font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif!important}

But the curly braces need escape backslashes since they currently are deleted before sending the html to the browser. So this works:

body,button\{font-family:'Open Sans',sans-serif!important\}

But you can either add the backslashes to the index.html or change the parsing of index.html so the curly braces are kept without escaping with backslashes. If you choose the second option to fix the bug I'll need to update my remove/restore scripts slightly.

[BradATIMA]

It will probably be the parsing that changes because it should not be removing curly braces inside a style tag.

[magnust]

Yeah I thought you would since the curly braces around the function aren't deleted when parsing the file...
