Serial port logfile, please.

As for the timezone stuff, re-read the Hijack release notes, and direct non-Hijack issues to the Empeg folks, not me.

Thanks

Mark, here is the serial port log data post reboot:

The player runs fine until another KnobRight. Then you get this, looks like the serial port isn't fully restored right away and the first few lines are stuck in the buffer?

Incidentally, stonkdance.raw is present in the /empeg/lib/visuals directory but I am still at v210.

Sorry about the time zone questions, just makes the [Hijack] offset problematic!

Lynn

Could it be the breakdance.raw line in config.ini that mucks it up? Looks like there's an extra blankspace before the closing quote...

/Michael

Coulkd be, I suppose. However, I do not see that space in the config.ini file, itself!

dance=breakdance.raw ; one of the "original" dances
dance=princedance.raw ; one of the "original" dances
dance=stonkdance.raw ; one of the "original" dances
dance=Air Tar.raw
dance=Dafonz.raw
dance=More Dancing.raw
dance=PoleDancer.raw
dance=newPoleDancer.raw
dance=topPoleSpin.raw
dance=ymca.raw

Stay tuned.

Lynn

Yes, the space is buggering things.

I fixed that bug in v211 of Hijack.

Mark, I loaded v211 and the reboot problem seems to remain. I still don't know why the breakdance file isn't found. It seems perfecly normal in the directory. I deleted it and recopied it to the Empeg from an archived copy with the same result as shown below:

I then commented out all of the dance= statements in config.ini and now the reboot problem is gone. So, then I noticed that breakdance is the next statement after time_offset= in config.ini so I put the dance= back and commented out the time_offset= statement and it is still ok. Is this related to the sequence of these statements in config.ini? Then I tried putting time_offset= after all of the dance= and the reboot after Analogue Clock in the visuals+ sequence (Flancedoor is right after Analogue Clock in my sequence) is back but now it is balking at stonkdance.raw.

Since Flancedoor is not a big deal for me I'll be ok now with dance= commented out. This seems like a real obscure quirk that isn't worth much time unless it is a clue to something else.

Thanks,

Lynn

Look closely at those messages.. does your player actually have ALL of the dance files listed there.. ?

Remember, the player only ever tries to load the three standard ones.. Hijack intercepts those requests, and substitutes the other ones, like Princedance.raw.. if any of those are missing or misspelled, then the error message you later see will only reference one of the three standard files, not the actual missing one.

Humbled by a stray space in a file name. Sorry for the false alarm. I am still curious about the apparent interaction with the time_offset= line in config.ini.
