Thanks for this great tool, Hyperspin needs a search engine.

I've run Hypersearch at startup via HyperHQ and everything's fine but now I don't know how to kill the process at exit. When I close Hyperspin, Hypersearch is still active as a process.

Create a batch (.bat) file, put the line below in there and set it to run on exit.

taskkill /f /fi "IMAGENAME eq HyperSearch.exe"

Actually I'd prefer a QWERTY keyboard myself but dunno how much work that is to implement?

Actually not much work at all! It's really just a visual reordering, the functionality stays exactly the same. Do you have a touchscreen or does it just make it easier to find the right letter? I did a quick test of it and it works okay but due to the way listviews work moving between buttons can be a bit....weird. But please give it a try in the next version and let me know how it works for you...

The QWERTY keyboard has been shown to be easier to find buttons on for most people due to it being the most common keyboard layout. Also a few of the common characters found in names for searching would be helpful eg. Pac-man is hard to search for with a "-" :)

French people use AZERTY though. Would it be ok if there was a setting to set which keyboard we prefer ?

That is like a difference of two keys. :P

At least you don't use this.

But QWERTY is still the most common.

and with QWERTZ being the next most common and only having the two keys swapped I'm sure the Zaxxon players in France and Germany won't mind looking for their Z...

Installed latest version. Searched for Rambo and I got the list. Then as I scrolled through them the videos popped up but then I got a pop up saying can't load Rambo.xml in database folder. Any ideas? I will rerun search if no success to generate the log when I'm at my pc.

Have you been able to reproduce this?

would it be possible to set search button for enter on keyboard so once you press enter it will auto click search

cause as i say its perfect the way you can type stuff in but still needs search to be set to enter key auto

well thats a suprise for me you press ctrl + enter to make auto land on search

Anywho, I corrected that then magically they all started showing up... cept a custom wheel for Gun Games, but I expected that! So if that rambling helped anyone horrah! If not, just keep at it!

What is different about your Gun Games wheel? Is it not part of your Main Menu.xml? If HyperSpin can browse it then I would also like to.

pietie, as your demanding testers I have one more request (you know you don't have to listen to us, right? :laugh:) How about ability to change the exit commands? I have a cab, and ideally would not like to pull out the keyboard, if I decide to close out of HyperSearch. Which is an awesome app by thr way!!

Heh I don't have a problem with requests such as these 'cause my mine aim was to make it work for cab users. What key do you have configured in HyperSpin as your exit key? The app already looks at the HyperSpin input settings but there are a couple of issues. If you use a key found on the OSK then the OSK intercepts it. I also don't support combo keys yet...

I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds like a wonderful piece of software. I was thinking maby there could be an option to reverse this setting. I'm using "m" as my player 2 start button. This is also my "back/exit" button in HS. It would be great to be able to us that to exit hypersearch too. As I'm using a cab, I don't ever intend to use the keyboard to type in what I'm searching for. This is of course the complete opposite of what someone that doesn't use a cab would want. Maby we can get the best of two Worlds here.

Thanks for making this app. It will be a great addition to my cab.

Yeah I tried to make the two modes work together as best I can but it really is just not feasible. So I agree, a hard switch will work better. Thanks!

Customise look and feel. If you really don't like my yellow video border and you're familiar with XAML or you can figure it out, you can change the Styling in Styles.xaml. It even contains some of the core control templates. If there is any interested I might add even more more of the templates and styling into this file.

Cool!

Hope you can add the HyperStats in this somewhere with the games sometime... :)

Pietie, awesome new features!!!! I love the exit via esc and being able to move right/left during a search! This thing rocks!.... I just can't get videos to show up. It's the white mesh looking screen no sound, no image... no error. My videos are in the default location. I'm completely fine with turning them off, your app is great enough on it's on... I just don't like when computers get the best of me... so I will fight this...to the end...hopefully with help :) Here is the seemingly uneventful log:

That was me. I am on Win 7 Pro 64bit.

I think you're the only one that has reported this problem. I also use Win7 64-bit on two system and no issue. Do you perhaps have a bunch of weird codec packs installed? I'm really not sure what to make of this. If the problem persists I'll look at putting together some small test app and we can take it from there...

No codecs installed because they make things like this impossible to troubleshoot. What is it using to play the videos? What is it using to "play the videos"?

It uses the Window Media Player components.

I tried this out today. WOW! It's fantastic. An absolute must-have for hyperspin users. I have a couple more requests/suggestions.

How about a setting for keeping the mouse pointer hidden if hyperlaunch has been configured that way. For cab users like myself, the mouse pointer is best kept hidden.

Would it be possible to completely disable letter typing with keyboard on the OSK? I thought the latest update would do this but I can't use my "back/exit" key (M) to back out of the OSK. Using it to go back to OSK from search results works great,

but when on OSK the M key types "M". I couldn't see any diference when using true or false on cabmode setting. Actually I couldn't exit the OSK in any other way than pressing ALT+f4. Esc did nothing.

I hope you will consider making these Changes. Again , thanks a million for this great app.

Disregard request no. 2. It's working great now.

you can disable keyboard typing is disabled if you set <add key="CabMode" value="true"/>

*Edit. Just saw you said it didn't do anything... which doesn't sound right. I know I was stoopid and tried updating the config whilst it was running... and thought it wasn't working.
