new installers, source, docs, jars, etc ... once I'm comfortable that the big problems are fixed, I'll move this over to jempeg.org. jEmplode autoupdate is turned off right now.

FIXED the ability to interact with the interface while syncing is dope, but takes a lot of getting used to. theres no indication on the main screen when i hit sync that anythings happening. can the transfer bar share the bottom half of the playlists tab? the details can stay where they are.

FIXED whenever i sync with emplode, when i go back to jemplode, it gives me a "Playlists referred to a missing tune or playlist with ID 272".

FIXED some of my files are not syncing thru. it gives a UTF16-LE error for the reason.

FIXED jemplode allows you to exit while a sync is happening. really bad, since the bar is invisible to an unknowing user. did that accidentally.

FIXED WMA files arent supported.

FIXED Hijack autoupdate = broken

FIXED starting jemplode right pane is on nothing. if you drag files to the pane, it goes to the all soup without getting into any playlist. suggest to default starting the right pane in the "Playlists" folder.

FIXED you try to add some files (about 60 albums), not sync and revert changes, then readd the files, and the transfer queue goes crazy, with a lot of duplicates and nullpointerexception. my guess is that the revert changes function doesnt clear the queue correctly. didnt even want to see what happens if i hit sync.

FIXED i was able to crash the v2final player by doing the following. i tried to upload the 60 albums again, then before syncing, deleted everything with "remove completely". it left me with a lot of "Updating Playlists" in the transfer details, so i synced, then without restarting jemplode, i readded the albums, synced again. can recreate the crash doing the same steps.

Note that if you want to just download jars, you need to replace graphics.jar and jemplode.jar (graphics.jar contains the logoedit, animedit, and screen grab plugins).

By the way -- the OS X installer appears to set the JVMVersion to 1.3.1 instead of 1.4.1 ... if you want the beginnings of the newer look and feel on OS X (still looks a little funky -- I haven't spent any time cleaning up the layout), you can go into your Applications/jEmplode/jEmplode.app/Contents and edit Info.plist ... Look for the JVMVersion tag and change the value to 1.4.1. You'll get the brushed metal look and the Panther UI (probably have to have Panther to get that last part). I'll figure out why it's not defaulting to 1.4.1 for the next build.

Cool. Jemplode no longer gives me any errors on the Jupiter. Time to mess with it more.

You think I should risk a synch or two with the Jupiter?

Since rebuilding my XP machine, I havn't gotten to reinstall Jemplode. Am I still going to need the "XP fix" so I don't get a blue screen? EDIT: IIRC, my issue was due to my ATi graphics card, not XP.

Wish List Item: Installing 3rd party aps would be like installing a Palm OS ap. Just click on the install.exe for it, and you are told "program will be installed next time you run Jemplode."

But I love what you have here. Builtin logo editor, animation editor, auto updates, etc etc. Awesome.

I run XP .. Not aware of anything special you have to do to make it work (it "just works" for me).

The 3rd party apps thing was a request a while ago ... It's sort of a big addition, so I just haven't gotten around to it yet. Now that I'm getting back in the swing of things, I'll look into that again.

Ah, I understand what you mean by drag and drop now
You mean from the OS to Jemplode...

Is there any chance we'll be able to drag tracks from the "All Tracks" right hand pane to a playlist to add them to a playlist?
At the moment you have to copy them and when you right click on the playlist to select paste, it gets the fcus and you lose your place in the 'All Tracks' pane.

What I'm doing BTW, is browsing all my files and thinking "yeah, that one. And that one. Nah, nah, nah, yep, nah. yep etc etc etc"

I'm not so bold as to promise that you won't have problems, but I personally /think/ it will work. I can't imagine why it would cause problems. At least now the sync queue is visible, so you can see what it's going to do to your poor device. However, if you set your house on fire running it, I'm not claiming any responsibility

ms

I'm not sure why I've never bothered to write this ... Laziness mostly. I've been meaning to for a long time. I'll look into it.

I don't get the error either. Unless I am missing where to turn it on jemplode doesn't have the soup views anymore so how would a sync work ?

jEmplode has soup views -- they're just not any added in by default ... You can just right-click=>Add Soup Playlist and select "only in jEmplode" (if you don't want to add them to the device).

OK, I guess my problem WAS with my ATi card when I exited Jemplode. But maybe that was "fixed" somehow in a Windows update or Jemplode 45 vs. 44. Who knows, but it's working now!

I didn't know about the "only in jemplode" part I thought that only made them on the player oops.

More than likely it's because I'm including the latest version of Java in this installer, which probably fixed the problem.

It just sits at syncronizing and doesn't do anything for me.

Hello Mike,

Thanks a lot for the new version...I found a small bug with the umlauts....


bye

Okay, I take it back. I guess opening Jemplode, connecting to the player and closing Jemplode wasn't enough to induce the crash. I had to do a sync then I get the blue screen reboot when I close Jemplode.

Mike PM'd me to recommend adding "sun.java2d.noddraw=true" in my jemplode.lax file. Remembering now, this fixed it last time. Just an FYI for anyone else out there with XP and an ATi card.

Can you explain more about the screenshot? What's it doing vs what is it supposed to do?

ms

Incidentally, I have XP + ATI Radeon 9700 Pro and run w/o problems, so it's not all ATI cards ... I would make sure you have the latest ATI drivers. Other than that, yeah, I guess disabling ddraw acceleration in the VM is the only route. Maybe lowing your hardware acceleration settings in the ddraw config might help too, but then you take a hit everywhere.

ms

when you do what?

If you look at the second line of the playlist the name of the artist ist Dani König, but JEmplode shows some strange characters...The same is on the third last line.

We are calling this "äöüéè" umlauts....And JEmplode does not showing up them correctly. The same is, if I download them form my Empeg back to my PC...The file names contains this wrong characters...

bye

Ta - fingers x'ed

I also sent a bug report that mentioned this to [email protected] recently (I don't know if you get them - anyway ... )
In it I also said:
I have noticed a problem on my system (WinXP JAVA_HOME=D:\apps\j2sdk1.4.0_01)
When I click a column to sort by it the column does sort but visually the up/down arrow stays on the first column I do this with and doesn't change.

Not critical but FYI...

Even Dani is asking what his name is!

How do I get Jemplode to skip m3u imports? I hope I'm not just missing something really easy!

Hmm .. Right now you can't ... I can add an option though.

Whoops .. fixed in the next release

That'd be awesome. But I'm happy enough the way it is, so don't take it as anything but a "wish". I just have m3u's in all my album folders so draging a folder into Jemplode creates two references of everything.

is it possibe to even have two references contained in the same playlist? i thought jemplode would automatically see that theres one in there already, and call the next one a dupe.

It creates a copy of that playlist in the playlist itself... Maybe I should do a screenshot, but if I had a playlist called "Album 1", if you looked at its contents, you'd see all the tracks belonging to that playlist as well as another copy of the same playlist.. It is smart enough to not import 2 copies of each song to the hard drive, but the extra playlist is still there.

Sorry too many things going on in this thread at once.

I tried to do a sync to my rio central. I just edited the info for a track and tried to sync. After I start the sync jemplode just stays at synchronizing and the progress bar doesn't move.
