how do i jump directly to a song or playlist?
i have exported the database so i have a nice list of every song and playlist... but it would be nice to go directly to a song instead of looking through all the playlist's via the menu

Is there no way to directly enter a FID on the remote?
The serial port has this feature.. mmm.. ?

If I remember rightly you set a PIN for a track or playlist in emplode and then a PIN search plays that track/playlist.

Inside Emplode, turn on the "PIN" column under the View menu, and then one can set direct-access codes for individual playlists/tunes. But that's kind of limiting, I suppose. Would anyone here have use for direct-FID access via the remote? I could add it to Hijack without too much fuss, but the input would likely be in decimal rather than the usual hex that FIDs normally use. ???

But exported to where? If it's on another computer, then you already do have a way to directly jump to a song/playlist. Hijack supports serial commands over HTTP. Eg. Fid#100 (the master "All" playlist): http://your.player.ip.address/?NODATA&SERIAL=#100(you may need to use %23 instead of the # symbol).

For other examples, just connect to the web server on your empeg, and click on the Click here for playlists link at the bottom of the screen to get the playlist interface. Now, on subsequent screens, the Play links actually just do what I showed in my previous post, commands like this: http://xx.xx.xx.xx/?NODATA&SERIAL=#1cf00Cheers

And if you have not already discovered/installed the Empeg WebLite web stuff onto your player, then you should do so immediately. This might save you some effort on whatever "project" you have "exported" your playlists for..

how do i jump directly to a song or playlist? To jump directly to a song, use the alphanumeric Search feature on the remote control. It is explained in more detail hereTo jump directly to a specific playlist, use Emplode to assign that playlist a PIN and use the PIN search feature on the remote control. Unless I'm remembering wrong and there's also an alphanumeric playlist search. I don't think there is. Here's something cool: To jump directly to the LAST playlist you selected, press and hold on the PLAYLISTS menu. More detail here under "Go back to last playlist menu".

Oh, now you did say you have exported the database. But exported to where? i exported it to a .csv file and then imported it in excel... if i could jump to a fid number it would be nice... going to assign pin's for each track would take a loooonnnggg time

So you must be just printing it out as a hand reference, rather than using another computer to select/queue tunes, right? if i could jump to a fid number it would be nice... going to assign pin's for each track would take a loooonnnggg time
I'll think about it. I know what/how to do it, just not sure if I'll get round to it. Cheers

100% right on this one.. a hand ref. if more easy for me rather than going to have a laptop/pda with me in the car just to select tunes I'll think about it. I know what/how to do it, just not sure if I'll get round to it.
it's no rush, but would certainly be nice :-)

Hijack v480: new FidEntry feature for direct tune/playlist access
[Re: Boelle]

Hijack v480 is now available. New in this release: - crash-recovery may now be more reliable.
- extra stalk debug info.
- new FidEntry fake button code.
- removed AM,FM entries from default PopUp0, replaced with Tuner.
- added FidEntry to default PopUp0.
The FidEntry function is the major new feature, that perhaps 3 of us will enjoy. By default, it can be found on Hijack's PopUp0 menu, which can be assigned to the knob using the Hijack menu Knob Press Redefinition feature. Once that is done, a short tap of the knob brings up PopUp0, and the knob can rotate to peruse the sub-menu. This is nothing new. Alternately, one can use the ir_translate feature to assign the FidEntry function to any available button, such as the '4' on the RioRemote, with something like this in the config.ini file: ; Not tested by me: [ir_translate] Four.M=FidEntry.NOnce FidEntry is active, use the digits on the remote to enter the complete desired fid number, in hex. The next/prev buttons work as expected, as does the knob and all of the other usual suspects. Press Menu/Ok (or the Knob) when done, and your FID will play (if valid). Users of the Kenwood remote can substitute DNPP for the Menu/Ok button, as usual. Cheers

works nice with the fid entry, but the fid number in the file that i export from emplode is not hex.. the file looks like this:
18 playlist 12 Stones - 12 Stones 19 tune Crash 12 Stones
is it possible that the next version is with "normal" numbers?

Oh.. maybe you're still stuck on that ancient ape counting system.. So, yeah, stand by for Hijack v481, which adds one more thing, just for this situation. In config.ini, under the [hijack] section, add this one line: decimal_fidentry=1

18 playlist 12 Stones - 12 Stones 19 tune Crash 12 Stones Those numbers cannot be used at all. They have no correspondence to how the data is actually referenced in software. You will have to fix your exports to include the "FID" values ( File IDentifiers), which is what FidEntry and the player software all use. Cheers

The CSV exports from Emplode have purely fictional "FID" values for some odd reason. But the XML exports do indeed have the real/correct FIDs (and in hex!!), so you'll just have to use those instead.

Or use JEmplode (instead of Emplode) to do the CSV export, in which case you'll get real (decimal, ugh) FIDs as well.

for some reason the xml document that i can export is not in the correct format, neither IE or openofice can open it to some easy readable text... it looks like this:
<tune id="x65f0"> <attribute name="duration">209794</attribute> <attribute name="skip_count">5396</attribute> <attribute name="bitrate">fs192</attribute> <attribute name="genre">Soundtrack</attribute> <attribute name="file_id">8</attribute> <attribute name="type">tune</attribute> <attribute name="length">5035219</attribute> <attribute name="codec">mp3</attribute> <attribute name="artist">Michael Kamen</attribute> <attribute name="offset">146</attribute> <attribute name="tracknr">8</attribute> <attribute name="play_count">0</attribute> <attribute name="ctime">1200511632</attribute> <attribute name="play_last">0</attribute> <attribute name="year">1993</attribute> <attribute name="marked"></attribute> <attribute name="source">The Three Musketeers</attribute> <attribute name="drive">0</attribute> <attribute name="samplerate">44100</attribute> <attribute name="title">Cannonballs (Rigadoon)</attribute> </tune>

if i could just get the xml data converted to cvs format....
EDIT: did some google for a converter, no luck... what i want is to be able to sort the file so it looks some like this:
18 playlist 12 Stones - 12 Stones 19 tune Crash 12 Stones 20 tune Broken 12 Stones 21 tune The Way I Feel 12 Stones 22 tune Open Your Eyes 12 Stones 23 tune Home 12 Stones 24 tune Fade Away 12 Stones 25 tune Back Up 12 Stones 26 tune Soulfire 12 Stones 27 tune In My Head 12 Stones 28 tune Running Out Of Pain 12 Stones 29 tune My Life 12 Stones 30 tune Eric's Song 12 Stones 31 playlist Ace Of Base - Happy Nation 32 tune Voulez-Vous Danser Ace Of Base 33 tune All That She Wants Ace Of Base 34 tune Münchhausen (Just Chaos) Ace Of Base 35 tune Happy Nation Ace Of Base 36 tune Waiting For Magic Ace Of Base 37 tune Fashion Party Ace Of Base 38 tune Wheel Of Fortune Ace Of Base 39 tune Dancer In A Daydream Ace Of Base 40 tune My Mind (Mindless Mix) Ace Of Base 41 tune Wheel Of Fortune (Original Club Mix) Ace Of Base 42 tune Dimension Of Depth Ace Of Base 43 tune Young And Proud Ace Of Base 44 tune All That She Wants (Banghra Version) Ace Of Base
the first number should just be the actual fid number in hex

cant use decimal input for sure, i did an export to csv foramt from Jemplode... it's the same as export from emplode...
