Do I have to > configure something at config-file? There were several nasty bugs in Freevo and kaa.beacon when going into directories while the metadata is being generated. Since mine is already scanned, I did not see it. Update and it should work. BTW, always update Freevo AND all required kaa modules to be sure it works together. > ## "Freevo2 always on top" issue > =================== > > "Freevo2 always on top" issue has gone once I have deactivated 3D > acceleration on the virtual machine.

It is a feature :) Today was the last vacation day for me. So to avoid the idea getting lost, can you add an issue on the github issue tracker. As a short fix, you can adjust to timeout value in the audio.xml file to a very high value (search for autohide=5, two matches) > ## At config file: ('scan' variable) > ========== > I get this for pictures config. > # | The variable 'scan' is hours between automatic rescan.

It is confusing for audio items without a trackno. It will look like a directory. But I'm open for other ideas. > ## Showing album's covers > =========== > Well, I've scaled freevo2 at 1.77777 aspect to simulate a full HD > (1066x600px).

The same happens at other resolutions that > aren't 1.7777 aspect. (see screenshot2.png). Yes. The theme is designed for 16:9. For other resolutions a different theme file is required. Right now the GUI will always rendered in full HD and scaled down to your window size. > ## Full Screen option > =========== > Although I set Full-Screen at config-file freevo2 continues in a window > named "python".

The idea is to have a media PC with Freevo always running fullscreen without window manager. > ## Detach player option > =========== > ¿Is the Detach music player available? ¿what is the key?

I'm happy to get feedback for 2.0. It works great for me and I would love to have more people using Freevo 2.0 and maybe start writing more plugins.
