How to clear radio station

[deadpool18]

I was playing around with the radio station feature, and was able to start playing the station, and then when I wanted to stop, I could press a button on my cp, and then stop the song. However, I couldn't figure out how to exit the radio station so that the station would not resume again. I couldn't really find any documentation on what the radio station controls are.

Also, when playing an mp3 from the jukebox feature, is there a key combination to clear the queue and stop playing music, resuming arcade ambiance?

To clarify, how do I clear the radio station queue?

Also, I know how to clear the Jukebox queue, but I was wondering if there was a key combination to do so without going back to the jukebox.

Anyone?

Just curious, does anybody else use the radio station feature? I've had Gameex for years, and never messed with it. I just assumed that somebody would know how to clear the queue, but maybe it isn't widely used.

Hi deadpool18

Figured I'd jump in so you wouldn't feel like you're addressing an empty room here. Like you I never really used the radio station feature other than to peruse the plethora of content available. After reading this thread I fired it up, and my experience was similar to yours. You can start the radio station, but it doesn't look like there's any readily apparent way to clear the radio station queue.

It might be worthwhile consulting the Input Settings screen in the Setup Wizard. On that screen you'll find the Advanced Keyboard Input section. Take a look at the Stop key. Honestly I've never attempted to use that input, but it sure sounds like it could be just the ticket for stopping the radio station and clearing the queue. It might also serve to stop and clear the standard jukebox queue.

If you're running through a cabinet you may have to setup a new mapped key combination for this input, but that should be fairly arbitrary.

Good luck man, and let us know how this goes.

Thanks for the response! I can stop the radio station from playing with the stop key, but the station still remains queued and arcade ambiance will not resume, but the station will as soon as I hit the resume button. At least on the jukebox you can clear the queue while in the jukebox section. Not so with the radio stations.

I think this sounds like a feature request, but I'm not sure that queue is the correct term here. With the jukebox the queue consists of the list of songs that are queued to play in a certain order. The radio stations are just audio streams broadcast over the internet. I think the functionality you're looking for is that when you hit the Stop button while a radio station is playing that Arcade Ambiance resumes (if applicable) and GameEx 'forgets' the radio station so that it doesn't resume playing again (I'm not sure if that's the best terminology either ). Does that sound correct?

Feature requests can be made right here.

Yes, that's exactly what I want! It's just weird that the radio station waits to restart and arcade ambiance can't come back.
