Okay, Hijack v322 is out.

This version fixes a long-standing problem inside Hijack which prevented correct parsing of config.ini when that file was larger than 4095 bytes in size.

The reason for the bug was that Hijack tries to intercept only the FIRST read of conffig.ini from the player, so as not to mess up subsequent reads by Emplode or whatever. However, on startup, the player appears to read the file twice: once partially (modulo 4096), and then again fully, but only when it's larger than 4095 bytes.

It's not clear whether the player is doing the partial read intentionally, or if libc (or the kernel) is doing some kind of fancy read-ahead thingie, but now that the behaviour is known, Hijack copes with it correctly.

So.. if your config.ini is HUGE, it will work with Hijack now.

Cheers

Okay, after releasing only 20 Hijack updates over the 12 months from February to February, things seem to be picking up again..

Hijack v323 is now released, to (hopefully) fix some bugs in the .m3u generation for single Tunes, and also includes some slight improvements for general compatibility with PC based .mp3 players.

Get yours now!

Mark, I'm glad to see development picking up again. Two humble requests:

1. Is there a chance we could get IrDA compiled into Hijack by default? No IrCOMM support is needed (no user apps that use IrCOMM right now)

2. Could we get a config.ini option to EXEC programs _after_ the player has started? Palantir needs to be started after the player, and right now I'm using a hokey script to wait for x seconds to start it.

Thanks!

And yet another one..

v324 fixes the "Stream" link from the top left corner of the playlist browser, so that it works again . And for the benefit of the dumb playlist window in XMMS, hyphens are no longer hex-encoded on the .m3u URL lines.

Cheers

You call it "234" on the website. This confused jEmplode into telling me I'm up to date

Cushman, I'd love these to be worked into HiJack as well (or maybe you could get them into a versoin of HiJack?) I love Palantir, but installing is a bit of a chore (yet worth it). If this happens, all we'll need to do is get exporting of database via Jemplode to be automatic .
