I'd like to know what I can configure in /empeg/lib/config.ini.
Is it possible to run the player, so it doesn't open /dev/ttyS1?
Are there any command line options available?

/empeg/bin/player -s-

will run the player without starting the serial protocol.

There's nothing you can currently configure with the config.ini (which is moving shortly to /empeg/var) but this will change in the future.

May I bed for other options?
i.e. for rebuilding the database?

There's no way to force a database rebuild without deleting the old database: in this case, the database will be built in-ram and used. If the disk is mounted r/w when the player is run, this database is saved to disk.

The player remounts r/o in the atexit handlers to ensure thigns are 'safe'.

I started "/empeg/bin/player -s- 2>&1 >/dev/null &", but I still couldn't get back to my shell.
All the keys listed http://www.empeg.mars.org/devel/software/player.php3 worked.
What's wrong?

UPDATE:
Besides player prints that usage message:

player [options]

Options:
-u Enable USB server.
-i Ignore emergency persist data.

When I run "/empeg/bin/player -s &" I have to type each key two times for the shell to get it.

Running "ltrace /empeg/bin/player -s" showed that player still touches /dev/ttyS1:
memcpy(0x02127400, "/dev/ttyS1", 10) = 0x02127400

How can I trust the information posted here by the empeg guys?

I'd like to second Raphael's query for a way to run the player while keeping the serial port available for other purposes. As you might guess, I have PPP in mind. :-) At this point in my development for CDPD/GPS support I'm really stalling on this.

The suggested `/empeg/bin/player -s-' doesn't seem to help.

Any other suggestions? If necessary, perhaps a fix could be included in the next beta?

Cheers,

Verement,
I've got some ideas about incorporating CDMA/GPS as well. What have you come up with so far, and have you developed any supporting software?
Maybe this should go in the projects forum...
Thanks,
Jason
