Upgrading from 1.0.0 to 1.2.0-r1 made the problem go away. Thanks to Garth for pointing it out to me. So this allowed me to progress further. I did notice that mixxx is incapable of running out of its build directory and seems to need to be installed before any testing at all is possible. Or maybe it was just confused by the 1.6.1 I already had installed. (Thus it overwrote 1.6.1, which in hindsight was a bad thing since the older version worked better for me in general.) If a user wants to test a new install before overwriting the previous (properly set up and known working) version, it would be nice to have this fixed. Also, I built with "scons" and installed with "sudo scons install", but apparently running scons as root forces it to rebuild and relink all of the object files, so now my build tree has a bunch of files owned as root and I can't build as a normal user any more. Next issue, the numark total control mapping needs a little work. The jog wheels move their track forward no matter which direction you spin them (and seem to be rather more sensitive than I'm used to), and the crossfade slider's motion is reversed. I move the slider to the left, the one on the screen moves to the right, and vice versa. I noticed "Crossfader" was the first item in the midi wizard thingy, so I set that and exited the wizard. After that, the crossfader was the only control which worked (though its motion was still reversed). And I didn't see a "Crossfader" entry in the mapping table, so I wasn't able to find a place to manually adjust it. While we're on the subject of midi controllers, the numark came with two placards, one for Cue and one for Traktor. They're just labels, pieces of plastic with some writing on them, but they have rather different button layouts. Mixxx's binding seems to conform to the Traktor placard's layout, but I've grown accustomed to the Cue placard, having used it with vdj and dex. Should I submit another mapping for the other placard? (Are they still just xml files?) Next issue, I started mixxx, and loaded the Collusion (1280) skin. My thinkpad's display is 1280x800, which I guess is a little too small (vertically) for this skin. Mixxx didn't tell me this, and it looked and worked fine anyway, maybe it just chopped off a little bit at the bottom. But after restarting mixxx, I could no longer move the window, selecting fullscreen removed the window borders but did not move itself to the upper left of the screen (see screenshot at [1]). While that may or may not be a serious bug, but it was definitely surprising behavior. I guess it probably should have prevented me from using the skin to begin with. Next issue, my collection has accurate bpm tags, I've actually spent a lot of time measuring and verifying those. Mixxx wasn't able to read them, the bpm column is just "0". Though I'm not sure whether that's mixxx's fault or libsndfile's; I'll follow up on that later. So for now it seems the only option is to enable mixxx's own bpm detection, which may or may not be accurate and kinda defeats the purpose of having a well tagged collection. So that's what I noticed on my first run through the new beta. Hope you don't mind the big list. I just want the best quality 1.7.0 release possible, so I hope this helps.
