Okay, Hijack v83 is now available from http://rtr.ca/empeg/

This version has several features of interest:

-- "restore visuals" now works with beta7, so the player can now power-up in-car with the visuals/info mode that was active at last power-down (car or home).

-- a new menu item allows disabling the "casual" filesystem checks that happen by default every 10th (?) sync or so.. these are pretty much unnecessary, since the filesystem checks will still be done anyway whenever there's really any trouble (like a failed sync), and they just add an unnecessary delay of 5-25 minutes at sync time.. so I like to turn them off ("disabled") on my player.

-- IR translations can now be different for "Car" and "Home" operation, using .C or .H "modifiers left of the equal sign in config.ini, as in:

xxxxxxx.H=yyyyyyyy
xxxxxxx.C=zzzzzzzz

(not 100% tested yet, but I think it works now.. let me know).

-- support for "initial=" IR sequences for startup. Not tested, but I think it should work: please test and let me know A.S.A.P., as in:

initial.C=xxxxx,xxxxxxx,xxxxxxx ;; car mode initial button press sequence
initial.H=yyyyyy,yyyyyyy,yyyyyy ;; home mode initial button press sequence

or

initial=xxxxxxx,xxxxxx,xxxxxx ;; initial button press sequence for both car/home


-- the Radio Data Service (RDS) patch is now integrated into Hijack, courtesy of René Vogt .

-- the beginnings of "notify=1" FID interception are in place, but not functional yet.. Soon.

Cheers
