Title: Turntables or no Turntables
Post by: cprman67 on August 02, 2012, 03:18:23 AM
Maybe I missed it. I have done a search for something on this topic, but can't seem to find it. The turntables aren't showing up on my screen. I have them enabled, but still nothing. I can't seem to really find anything on them as far as getting them to show up. Any help on this?
Thanks in advance.
p.s. downloaded this morning, but was only able to start really playing with it a couple of hours ago, and already I am beginning to like this set up....

Have Esperance running right now and if I resize the window and make it too narrow the turntables disappear. This leads me to believe there is a minimum width needed for the turntables, it looks to be about 1280 pixels wide, so give that a try.

Hope you get the decks working.  To be honest when I first fired up Esp I didn't like the decks so turned them off, but later turned them back on for a play with the scratching etc and I now really like them.  The arm animation is brill, watching the arm sway from side to side, also good for spotting which deck is playing at a glance.

Pretty much corrent what the Dr. said. If your display isn't wide enough, and you are full screen, they won't display.

My display I'm using at the moment is 1024 wide, and when I stretch it to this width they display when it snaps to this width. So with that I'm going to state I believe the minimum width for displaying turntables, is 1024 pixels.

Would be nice if the turntables used the album art

I tested it on a native 1024x768 resolution screen.
The turntables aren't showing up in this resolution, and you can not enable them in this resolution.

Buik, your width at that resolution is 768, and needs to be a min of 1024, so you'll need to bump up to the next resolution setting. 1280x1024.

No, the width of this monitor is 1024 pixels and the height = 768 pixels.

Its an old monitor, it  doesn't support higher resolutions.

Oops! You're right. It's minimum width of 1280, not 1024. It still ends up the standard 1280 width is 1024 height.

Just ran Autohokeys spy program and determined the minimums...

Absolute minimum is 1024x600. You can't resize any smaller than this.
To add video monitors, you must maintain a minimum 1024x720 pixels.
and to include turntables, you must run 1280x600, or 1280x720 with vid monitors.

Personally not a fan of the turntables as they serve no purpose, other programs use them with functionality however in this case they do nothing but take up space.

Instead they would have been better to make the decks bigger and make the looping buttons larger.
