So I'm lazy..

Is the RioReceiver's database format/content identical to that of the Empeg?

I'm just trying to avoid having to write code to generate it when serving from an Empeg.
If not identical, can anyone here describe the differences? I can figure it all out, just takes time.

Cheers

The database files themselves? No.

The actual wire format exposed to the Rio Receiver? Pretty much.

Mm.. what I would like is some C code which simply reads from the Empeg database file (nasty field layout assumptions are encouraged! ) and spews out the equivalent database info that the Receiver wants to download at startup time. Then I will embed such into Hijack's httpd server.. along with some extras for the tag info etc..

Cheers

Er, a call to read() should do it. It's the same format, but you'll need to extract the correct piece.

the Receiver wants to download at startup time

The Receiver doesn't download the database at startup time. It grabs it as it needs it.

If you just relax for a week or so, I'm working on something which will eventually include a full protocol description for the Rio Receiver.

Of course, that's in between fitting Jen's new kitchen, which is a barrel of laughs. You don't fancy flying over to London with your workshop and giving me a hand, do you?

I'm flying over to Paris instead -- Erin has already filled my luggage bags with salted roasted sunflower seeds and smarties, no not much room left there for the shop this time over. Sorry.
