PinballX and Jukebox

[piddu]

Hi all.
I want to add a jukebox to my pincab. Is there any pincab friendly software to use with PinballX? I've used DWJukebox in the past but it no longer works with my new installation.
Thanks in advance

Can you tell us more about your system? What OS?

This is completly off topic of pinballx, but like the idea

Never looked at it, but I'm curious too.

If there is a nice windows 10 software that can select the songs with the cabinet buttons and show info (photo, lyrics or clip) on back glass, I'm wanting to use that too. 

When I'm working from home(next to my cab) a nice music player would be nice to have on it. 

 

Edit: google a bit and saw https://www.zenpoint.org/ need to check in the weekend

Modify keyboard or joystick settings so that you can navigate the menu.

These may or may not work with more modern Windows OS -

That was my first try. The main problem is that there is no portrait support/skin for kodi.

I tried solving this issue using a tool named Display http://noeld.com/programs.asp#Display . With this tool I can rotate the playfield screen using command line and revert back on kodi exit.

What I have to work on: Find a skin that doesn't messes up with portrait resolution and that goes directly into music section displaying a "wall view" for single songs. I've tried the old Confluence skin and it seems doing the job ok, but I have to do more tests... I also have activated the milkdrop visualization effect, but it remains in background... I have to understand how to make it be on top.

For the backglass monitor I used this fantastic program: FrontView+ https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=259087

With FrontView+ you can use a second screen to display media played info / fanart / cover / weather and optionally use it as a media control (ideal for touch screens).

 

The main problem for me is that if I launch kodi 18.1 trough PinballX, it remains stuck on the "loading..." screen and I have to reboot the PC (I have to check PinballX logs).

 

PS: I use windows 10 (also if it killed VPX (only) performances) and a 3 monitors pincab.

PS2: With Yatse app you can control Kodi directly from your smartphone (useful if you have difficulties with pincab buttons): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.leetzone.android.yatsewidgetfree
