same problem here

same here, default skin keeps popping up :(

bugreporter · #4 (**permalink**) 20th March 2004

With me, it's not only the skin but every setting, that is reset to default after several program-starts, not just rebooting, like language, subtitles. I tried the installer and the .zip . Besides, the alternative skin that I ('d like to) use is this old green base one. I believe I downloaded it here under skins, although as belonging to build 803. Now, it's nowhere to be found (or I just missed it). Is this an attempt to eradicate it? I wish it came at least along with each new release.

just delete all those skins that you dont use then it should not go back to base skin

LIKEWISE

Any fix to that yet?

So no one figured out a fix yet?

Deleting (like suggested above) all spare stuff did not help me. After a while it did change back to former skin and language. Then I tried hiding and copyprotecting all files, and so far it looks like a capable detour.

No problem here whatsoever! Using Win-Me. Will check on my son's PC which runs XP.
Would be interesting to know which Win-versions you all are using.
Unfortunately no-one thought of mentioning it.
It seems to me as if its a Windows access-rights problem.
Could you also check in BSPlayer's installation folder the properties of the file BSPlayer.xml (which should NOT be "read-only"). It is in that file that BSPlayer stores its various settings (such as i.a. skin used).

BigDaddy · #13 (**permalink**) 4th April 2004

I'm using WinXP SP1

For me usually BSPLAYER works OK!! But sometimes when it starts it just restores to default settings!!!

Are there any word from developers for a possible HOT-FIX?

Also running on Win XP SP 1.
True, if you write protect you can still change settings, but they won't be permanently saved, i.e. after reopening bsplayer they will be lost and you'd have to arrange them again. Of course you can lift the protection for a second and store these changes, too.

I prefer the non-installer btw, even though sometimes this leads to programs not being accepted as standard file opener. Like now. Guess, a complete overhaul is overdue by now :)

Same problem here.
Win xp sp1 + latest patches, .xml file not write-protected.
Now I tried deleting all other skins, let's see...

Walker_CZ · #16 (**permalink**) 17th April 2004

I had same problem. I gave attribute (Only read) for file "BSPlayer.xml" after my settings and now its working fine. :-) Sry my english. :-)

JamPS · #17 (**permalink**) 19th April 2004

Ok, deleting all other skins didn't help.
I wonder where it stores the default skin then...
Now I'll try making that .xml read only :I

But shouldn't it be time for a BUILD 808 by now? I mean it's been awhile since BUILD 807!!!

@BigDaddy
Your wish was already fullfilled before you utterred it!
