How about just having different virtual button codes to being the "fidentry" mode? One for REPLACE, one for ENQUEUE, one for APPEND, and yet another different on for INSERT?

Or maybe this method: if the first digit of the "fid" that you enter is a "0", then the next digit selects the mode, and the real fid then follows ?

Cheers

Oh, but if you are thinking of interactive use of this feature, rather than some other device being programmed to just send the fid stuff, then I suppose hittiung the SelectMode button does make sense.

In which case we can allow SelectMode anytime during fid entry, and it takes effect when the Menu/DNPP/Knob is pressed at the end of the sequence.

Easy change. Want that?

Cheers

Note also that fid entry can be in decimal (base10) rather than hex, for easier use from a remote control. There's a hijack setting for that.

Hijack v510 is now available.

This version adds support for hitting "SelectMode" during "FidEntry", to cycle among the possible methods for adding a FID to the current playlist.

Cheers

My own goal was programmatic use (the L5 doesn't have OBEX, so I can't reuse empire) but i realized that there's no need for my macros to use something other than an interactive user would do. (hence the "you always start in replace mode, and...")

so the goal would be (for me) that i have a macro which is insert this/these songs and it would do it by simply sending whatever button the user says is bound to FidEntry, the fid, the relevant number of mode selects, and ok.

if i can get this working right, my plan is to make a Palantir-style app for the iPhone using the L5 API.

Thanks! well, when the car (which has both the remote and the empeg) arrives back here, I will try it; my wife had to run away to sing at a funeral. :\

Hijack v511 is now available.

Same as v510, except for:

1. Fixed the version number; v510 was reporting v5010 (oops).
2. Removed some stray/leftover DSP debugging code.

If you enter the fix then hit select mode, the mode changes but the last number is repeated. If you enter a mode first, the first mode press does nothing, then it registers some but not all select mode presses, but in spite of showing INS, it did REP. I'll debug later

Okay, Hijack v512 is out now, with the "side effects" of SelectMode fixed during fidentry.

I don't know how replace, append, enqueue, and insert all differ though -- but Hijack sends the correct character for each.

Cheers

Replace replaces. Enqueue appends. Append inserts. Insert also replaces. No more bogus digits tho.

Just in case people were wondering what the difference between the modes is:

  • Replace should replace the entire running order with your selection. It'll interrupt the currently-playing track.
  • Insert should insert your selection immediately after the currently-playing track, so that it's not interrupted. The rest of the running order is left alone.
  • Append should put your selection at the end of the running order.
  • Enqueue should put your selection after anything that has already been enqueued, but otherwise at the front of the running order (immediately after the currently-playing track). Think of it as "DJ party request mode". The running order is left alone, but people's selections are queued up at the front.

Okay, Hijack is using these characters after the FID number when issuing the direct FID over the serial port:

"" -- nothing, "replace".
"-" -- dash, "enqueue".
"+" -- plus, "append".
"!" -- exclamation, "insert".

So I'd guess that those are incorrect.
Can somebody please correct me, and I'll correct hijack.

Thanks.

Think I can cram an Ethernet cable into the correct corner while in my dash? smile I'll try when I can. May be late Friday.

Mark did these natty little wooden blocks that fit into the back of the cage, with the cable and connector in the right place. I never got around to fitting mine, unfortunately smile

If you do it yourself, make sure you snap off the retaining clip on the RJ45 connector.

I remember those blocks! smile

MMmm.. wonder if there's still one kicking around here that I can use as a reference to make more. They're pretty simple, but it took a bit of effort to get the dimensions, slot, and holes in exactly the Right Places.

Something like that would make a great freebie for an empeg Meet.

Cheers

If you can't find one, I can dig mine out and send you the measurements.

Oh, the issue is not that I need the block, but that I'm many miles from home and thus have neither a power brick nor the means to dissembles my dash! But with measurements I'd probably find some time to do one in a few weeks!

New kernel does it.
[hijack]
decimal_fidentry=1
[ir_translate]
Four.LM=FidEntry.N

and i can now inject songs. So, on to the next step.

willing to add this to 514 when it happens? (minor assembler fun to comply with tighter demands from newer gas)
