It's a shame there isn't a hijack option to start the player with -i in case it happens again.
I nearly gave myself a heart-attack the other day: I upgraded to 3a11, and it wouldn't start, so (while at home), I ran it with -i.
Got in the car -- sounded a bit flat. I checked the EQ. Gah! It's totally flat. Where's the EQ I spent 3 hours setting up with John and John?!
Ah -- "player -i" doesn't blank the EQ -- it just resets back to EQ #1. My custom EQ is on #2.
Panic over. 
(Although I think I'll write down the numbers somewhere, just in case)

Hm. You do remind me of 2 things:
The player doesn't always remember whether shuffle was on or off.
The way I most commonly use my player is to have shuffle turned on most of the time. When I come across a track from an album I like, I turn shuffle off, listen to a couple more tracks, and then turn it back on again.
However, the behaviour I saw this morning was that my running order was shuffled, but the player didn't think it was. So (thinking shuffle was on), I toggled it, which turned it on, rather than the expected off.
All of which meant that I lost track of the album I was trying to listen to more of...

I've rebuilt my hds and am starting from scratch with my spare empeg running the new alpha 11. I've tried adding music 4 times now and after about 85-100 songs Emplode bombs with errors saying the connection was forcably closed by the remote host. On the front of the Empeg it has an error saying something about the hds timing out. I'm assuming Hijack is displaying the error. I got the same error while trying to delete the music that was on the Player. I'm running Emplode 2.0 as I read somewhere on here that v2.1 was too buggy. Is this a bug, or some setting that is incorrect? The hds check out fine and the stress test during the build was OK. I'm going to try going back to 2.0 release version and loading up the music with that.

OK,
This is not a bug in alpha 11. It does it on release 2.0 as well. I get alternating "hda: disk error: status timeout" and "hdb: disk error: status timeout" errors.
The log shows:
ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80
hda: status timeout: status=0x80
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:04 (hda), sector 147686
hda: drive not ready for command
hdb: status timeout: status=0x80
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:44 (hdb), sector 147694
hdb: drive not ready for command
hda: status timeout: status=0x80
hda: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80
hdb: status timeout: status=0x80
hdb: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80
hda: status timeout: status=0x80
hda: drive not ready for command
I'm assuming it's a HD or drive cable issue. Thing is, the player was working fine until I rebuilt the drives. I have a new extended HD cable and the IDE header was reflowed 2 years ago. Also the stress test during the rebuild was OK...

For info: the only times I have seen this message have both been sorted by ensuring good IDE cable connection (by pressing it down hard again 
One was not long after an upgrade, but the other appeared to be unconnected to anything, so my assumption is general day to day bumping wiggled the connector slightly loose.
Rory MkIIa, blue lit buttons, memory upgrade, 250Gb in Mark Lord dock MkII, 120Gb in home made dock - I'll sort out reinstalling them in cars some day What am I up to?

I reseated the IDE cable. All is fine now. I wonder why the stress test didn't show any problems...
Thanks!

Someone asked this earlier, but I didn't really see a response. How do I use Mark's ethernet upgrader from Windows?

OK.. well I got the distro and installed everything. I downloaded the upgrader from Mark's site, but I can't find an upgrader-cygwin.exe anywhere. The file on Mark's site is upgrader.tar and when I open that, all I see is 'upgrader'. What do i do at that point?

ok, it doesn't really create a linux shell. Cygwin is a bunch of unix tools ported to windows... many of which also happen to exist happily (and natively) under linux, solaris, HP/UX, AIX, BSD, etc.

Well I ran it once and it said BROKEN PIPE at the end - not sure if that means it was successful or not. I accidentally closed it, but i ran it again and here's the paste of the log:
Oh and I'm currently at a7 and the player is in standby when I ran this.

Yes, with earlier alphas. Haven't tried 11 yet.
Took me a couple of synchs to get there... First load of the alpha worked fine, it was only after a couple of synchs that my playlists got scrambled.

I put 3.11 on the empeg today and the playlists were totally screwed up! Crazyness. There wasn't really any rhyme or reason to it either, it was like it was totally random and many songs/playlists weren't even there any more. I'm going back to 2.0 now to see if that fixes things.
Weird. Anyone else experience this issue?
Have you previously had other v3 alphas on there? If so, you might need to manually delete your database files (or, at the very least, "database3"). It turns out that the stuff for seamless upgrading from v2 to v3, only works the first time and not if you go back and forth.
