Can you cahnge the static Picture with the logo editor?
I know "read the FAQ"

I'm just in a hurry and I just want to check in later.

Define "static picture".

If you mean the visual named "LOGO", the answer is no. That's hard-coded inside the player binary. The logo editor only changes the boot-up custom logo that follows the company logo.

You can use Empeg RAWerter to edit the images found in TuxMuch, TuxTooMuch, Tubular, AnnaVu, and Image Pan. But not the "LOGO" visual.

There was a program which worked for 1.0x which let you edit the player binary but I do not know where it is, how to use it, or whether it works for 2.0x or not.

I think the last/latest version of setvisual is linked to in this post...

I think I'll try it out...

Nope, doesn't work. AFAICT it's looking for a file in /empeg/lib which isn't there any longer. However, it looks like that part is for changing the Tux Much visual - which we now have other means to change...

So, if anyone who's set up to cross-compile compile for arm feels like compiling it and posting the binary (or mail/PM me so I can be my own guinea pig), I've attached a modified version where (I think - it's been a while since I played with C) I've commented out the stuff regarding the missing file, hopefully leaving everything else alone... Anyway, the stuff I've commented out is commented out with //MT at the start of the lines if anyone else feels like looking it over.

I haven't tested it.

And here's my revised source to get it to compile without warnings and to be a little more careful if it doesn't find the string it's looking for.

Tried the first one you posted - couldn't/can't download the second one, could you try reposting it?

The first one at least works for replacing the Static visual, haven't tried to change the small "empeg" logo in the top right corner on boot...

Edit: Duh! Your second post was source... ignore repost request above. Starting to get late here...

/Michael

It definately is getting late here ...

Bitt, I can't seem to download the modified source, could you try reposting that?
And a big thank you for compiling it!


So, for any one else wanting to try this, here's what I did.

Stick the image you want in the DC part of LogoEdit and save as a .bin file (4100 bytes).
Put that image file and the setvisual binary into /empeg/bin (I used ftp, you could rz too).
Got to the shell on the player (serial connection, q etc) and then (setvisual prompts in italic, entered in bold)

cd /empeg/bin
chmod 755 setvisual (if you didn't chmod it via yor ftp client)
cp player player.org (backup the original player binary)
./setvisual
found static visual bitmap at offset 1121892; replace? [Y/N]
Y
bitmap filename :
name_of_imagefile.bin
found startup-logo bitmap at offset 1130848; replace? [Y/N]
N (didn't replace the small empeg logo top right on player start)

Don't forget to remount disks ro before rebooting

/Michael

Okay. Let me try again....

Edit: Worked this time....

sweet i got it working.. now how do i change the boot one just push yes and have the same visual or is there a differtnt .bin file i need to make?

ok for the bootup logo, the static one displaying the player info the res is 52x16 i belive its either 52 or 53 pixels wide i havent completly determined it.

According to this post it's 52x16.

/Michael

uhmm, sorry i haven't looked too in depth here in a while.. let me see if i understand a few things.

The old setvisual no longer works with the latest kernels, it will only update tuxmuch, which i have been doing the other way. What i would love to do is change the static visual (selected from teh visuals list) and the small rio logo that brands on the info screen.

Sorry i am just a bit confused as to where we are in this thread.

Cheers

I did what you worte, and i can't get it going, it tells me that the write is successfull..oh wait a minute, does this only work for the car? ANyway, i can see the small logo try to popup for a split second but the rio one then replaces it.. and the static visual has not changed at all.. is it something i am doing wrong here? are the different files for car and home for static visual? No clue what i am doing wrong here

FWIW i am running hijack too.

what it actually was was that it didn't work while i was in rio profile, i don't know if tha tis correct, but that is what happend it seems.
