Hey Mark, I am having problems get v162 to compile. I used to be able to compile your patches without a problem (although I haven't tried since about v100). Does the following error mean anything to you? This is 2.0b7 + voladj.patch + rdsfake.patch + v162.hijack.v200b8.patch. Will this not work against the b7 kernel? Everything patched cleanly except for one small offset.

Okay, Hijack v163 is now available (use the link at top right of your screen).

New in v163:
  • playlist browser now works for two-drive systems (untested)
  • song titles are provided for WinAmp streaming
  • song title.ext is provided for http music downloads
  • slightly slower FTP/HTTP file transfer performance, due to rewritten internals (smaller, but slower)
  • Symbolic button names now work with the "BUTTON" command (/proc, http, and ftp SITE)

    Let me know if anything you use appears to be broken.

    Cheers

    The latest Hijack kernel sources require a base kernel of v200beta8, available from the hijack site.

    But now I have another problem, voladj won't patch over the b8 kernel. It fails trying to patch include/asm-arm/arch-sa1100/empeg.h????

    Am I missing something obvious again?

    I can only see v162 on your web page?

    Thanks,

    I can see that the knob might be less response immediately after startup, because the player is doing a lot of disk reading at that point.

    Well, it only happens with the hijack kernal. So unless it's hijack that is doing the disk reading, I don't understand why.

    And the "knob twist debounce" logic in Hijack DOES add a slight delay to all knob rotations, and this could be magnified if the player is really busy with the drive, I suppose.

    Sounds like this might be it. I tried searching and couldn't find what this is for? Is it possible to make it a config.ini option?

    If not, I'd like to request a set volume startup level feature (In car/home the player always boots with a volume of -Xdb). I think this has been discussed before and seems like it would be very useful.

    song titles are provided for WinAmp streaming

    Looks good, it reads songname.mp3 when it's playing. You might want to consider doing what I'm doing (or you might not want to consider..as it'll only benefit the anal Winamp users among us, myself included) so far as sending a different value for the filename depending on the request method (either from a playlist, or not).

    I don't know if it's possible, but if we could get the "Artist - Title" for the filename when playing an m3u, it'll match the information that's displayed on tracks that haven't been played yet (read from the m3u ext info). Right now the a song that hasn't been played will show the Artist and Title, and once it's played it'll change to "title.mp3". No biggie either way, I guess.

    That's why I have playlist=1 in my URL string..it tells my app if it's a "straight" request, or if it's part of a playlist.

    playlist browser now works for two-drive systems (untested)

    It seems to be working better than it was, but I'm noticing something quirky with the empeg db info / ID3 tag info missing sometimes...


    Play Danzig 0:00 playlist
    Play /drive0/fids/201 0:00 playlist
    Play /drive1/fids/bcc1 0:00 playlist
    Play Dio 0:00 playlist
    Play /drive1/fids/1af1 0:00 playlist
    Play /drive0/fids/9a21 0:00 playlist

    Thanks for sorting the two-drive issue. There's still something a bit odd going on with it though. Some of the Playlists don't have names they're just pathnames. Take a look at the attachment to see what I mean. BTW did you get the fids I sent you OK?

    Basically, Hijack inserts the playlist pathname whenever it cannot get a title for something. I'm not sure why it is having trouble with some titles, though.. probably another buffer issue somewhere.

    Of course it works perfectly here.

    In the meanwhile, hijack v164 is now released. The only difference is that it now uses the "icy-name:" tag to provide tracknames to clients that request it, which includes WinAmp and the Linux/unix XMMS look-a-like. This also solves the ".mp3" extension problem.

    If anyone else wants to do it, just include a line like this in the HTTP response header

    icy-name: Abba - Super Trouper


    Cheers

    Ahah.. I just figured this one out.. some of the "title=" tags on your system are stored with an uppercase 'T', as in "Title=". I thought my tag matching logic didn't care about case, but it does for the first letter only.

    v165 will be out in a few minutes with the fix!

    OK, I can confirm that this works perfectly now. Yippeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! the guys at work will be happy Bunnies again . Well done Mark. This is fantastic. Now, the next project should be to get the player to do the washing up and make the Coffee .

    (v166) Song titles! w00t!

    Although I lost the ability to FF/RW (seek) within a track. Any time I mess with the slider it just changes tracks, forward or backwards.

    hi Mark, just tested 167 with Winamp - works well.

    but I noticed a odd difference between my Mark2 empeg [1 disk] and my Mark2 RioCar [2 disks].

    Whenever I reboot the RioCar via the Knob [and press the left/right buttons on the front to begin the reboot], I get a 'Rebooting' message on the display - then it reboots etc.
    [the waving tux animation appears, your version number pop up etc].

    But - on my Empeg Mark2, it doesn't show the Rebooting message, it just reboots without the Rebooting message.

    Is this something other folks have seen or is it related to one being a 2 drive system and one not [the 1 drive system 2 drive detection disabled].
    Other than the drives the only other difference [now] is that one is a Mk2A and the other a Mk2.

    any ideas?

    That's just a hardware (or boot block?) difference between Mk2 and Mk2a units.. on Mk2, the display hardware is reset (cleared) immediately, and on Mk2a it doesn't happen until software (the kernel) is loaded.

    v168 will remove the "knob rotation delay" from hijack, except when Hijack menus are active (which is where the delay is needed anyway).

    Okay, v168 is out.

  • a convenient shortcut is now supported:

    http://your.empeg/?playlists

  • playing nested playlists now works, up to 16 levels deep, with no limit on the number of tunes

  • lots of new config.ini settings for security purposes:

    kftpd_password=xxxxx ;; require FTP password
    khttpd_files=0 ;; prevent HTTP file downloading
    khttpd_dirs=0 ;; prevent HTTP directory browsing
    khttpd_commands=0 ;; prevent HTTP Hijack commands
    khttpd_playlists=0 ;; prevent HTTP playlist browsing/playing

  • removed some delays from knob-rotate processing

    Have fun

    Are you putting this stuff into a help file of some sort on your site? I'm not going to be able to remember everything. BTW, if you have a list of some additional config.ini options, then I wasn't able to find them on your site last night (like a setting for how fast Hijack menus timeout).

    Has anyone put together a good hijack help file? Hmm..

    Hi!

    My MkIIa was playing a longish playlist (~5000 tunes) when I tried new nested playlists. I displayer root playlist (using new syntax), then clicked on 'Artists' playlist that contains many others (I clicked the name, *not* 'play'). There was a brief glitch in player audio output, browser's title changed to trap v1.02 20001106 ([email protected]) but otherwise didn't change, and serial output contained disgnostics found in the file attached.

    P.S. If at all possible, *don't* remove nested playlist feature in the course of debugging

    Has anyone put together a good hijack help file?

    That would be a full time job, just keeping up with the updates! Mark, could you go on holiday for a week or so so we can catch up?

    Is it possible to create a flash app or something which runs locally and access the db/files on the empeg, given the right pointers?

    Can you retest with v169, and if still broken, send me (1) the trace again (thanks), and (2) a .tar file containing all of your *1 files and all of your *0 playlist files (but not the *0 tunes.. just gimme all files under 3KB in size).
