Could you re-test with v154, and if it fails, try it at home with "force dc/car" enabled.. and look for a line of output on the serial port early in the boot sequence, starting with "fix_visuals():"..

Send me that line of output.

If you cannot find it, then you're (1) in Home mode, or (2) don't have the feature enabled, or (3) USCWOAP.

I have this same problem.

Ok I now have v1.54 installed

Before reboot:
40: 0001 0100 A041 0100
48: 3570 0301 2305 0000
After reboot:
Same as above. I have not modified HiJack in anyway I downloaded it from this link:

http://empeg-hijack.sourceforge.net/v154.hijack.v200b8.mk2.zImage

I used LogoEdit to install this HiJack version. I did use the EtherFlash util a while back to install a HiJack version could this have messed it up? Made something read-only?

Here's the fix_visuals line for ya:
fix_visuals(): restore=0, row=0

My settings are kept "Enabled" or "Disabled" for Restore visuals. Other things like Screen Blanker Timeout are working fine.

Mmm.. okay, the saved mixer source must be buggered.

I'll add a debug prink() to dump that out as well.
It'll be in v156, so download that version, and run it again, and send me the output line and savearea data, same as before.

Thanks.

Ok Mark downloaded & Flashed the newest version, and here's what I get.

Visual: Scope, Info: Off
Show Flash savearea
Before:
40: 0001 0100 1026 0100
48: C414 0000 2305 0000
After:
same as above

This is SO weird.

I've also tried applying 2.0b7 again, so of course HiJack was completely erased. But the weird thing is, I'm about 99% sure it kept ALL of my HiJack settings!

The temp warning was 122F, timeout was 5 minutes and Restore Visuals was Enabled. Are these the default settings cause I'm sure I changed the temp warning?

Could something be corrupt or something? I know I shouldn't be asking this, but are you sure line 40 & 48 are the correct lines to look at?

I've attached a dump of my player booting maybe you can see something?

I really need to see the fix_visuals() output from this version (I added more information). Thanks.

The issue seems to be that the saved "mixer input" is not matching a "known" value inside hijack.

Cheers

Sorry, I forgot to paste that in the message. It was in my attachment heheh.. This was with Restore Visuals, Enabled.

fix_visuals(): mixer=04, restore=0, row=0

According to that data, you were listening to AM radio, with the "Radio" visual active at power off. What did you see active when it restarted?

-ml

Nope, I was listening to a Playlist in mp3 mode! I don't have a tuner (Well I have one, but don't have it connected in my car or inside). This is every weird.

When it restarted I had the "now & next" info mode, basically what you get without HiJack installed. This is the info mode the player picks if you had a visual last.

I had:

Visual: Scope
Info mode: Info Off
Single Playlist: no shuffle (about 12 songs)

I've checked this over many times, just to make sure I didn't miss anything. I know this is going to turn out to be something *really* easy. But I just don't see it!

Ok I"m not sure if this is related but I just noticed something else *really weird*. If i press #1 on the remote to switch time modes.. it only cycles through elasped and clock! I don't think this is HiJack but I figured I'd mention it

Well, your unit kinda thinks it is in AM-Tuner mode.

That's what the lower 3 bits of byte 0x0e is for, which on your player has the value '4':

   0 == uninitialized

   1 == FM-Tuner

   2 == Player (mp3)

   3 == Aux

   4 == AM-Tuner

That's why the timecodes are bananas, and that's why restore-visuals ain't working.. parts of the Rio software think the Tuner is active, and Hijack thinks there's no work required.

How about popping up the "show flash savearea" display, scrolling for the 08: line (which contains byte 0x0e, one in from the right), and hitting the RioRemote "Source/Power" button a few times.. byte 0x0e should get highlighted, and it should change values..

What values do you see there.. ?

-ml

Mark you da the man!

It doesn't look like it's HiJack's problem! It's a bug in the player software!

I can't view Savearea from work (cause I sync'd this morning and it did a disk check!). This always takes about 30 minutes! I even have disk check disabled in HiJack, maybe since the player thought it was in tuner mode messed that up as well?

So here’s what I did:

I'm using the Webpage viewer by Greg, through VNC to my computer at home controlling my empeg And I pressed the "Source" button, switched to AUX, then back to the player. And then using FTP I issued a “site reboot"

And the VISUAL WAS RESTORED!!!! SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So how this happened. When I got my tuner I tested it, I remember having it on AM (testing both bands). I then powered down the player and removed the tuner, Ever since then I guess the player figured it's been in tuner mode!

Thanks again Mark, sorry it wasn't your fault!

Anyone know why installing 2.0b7 again on the player wouldn't erase this "flag"

I'll drop some temporary code into Hijack to "fix" it (in case it happens again to somebody else), until such time as the player software is fixed.

-ml

Mark,

Out of curiosity, do you stay in sync with player software fixes, so that when they occur, you remove the hijack'd fix?

Curious.

Calvin

In the past, yes, and I'll try to remember to nuke this one eventually also.
