emptool-v2.00beta3 is busted

Under Linux (Mandrake-8.1), I run emptool-static from the v2b3 package, and then type "cd /".

It immediately segfaults to a horrible death, making it unuseable. Can anyone else out there try this and confirm (it won't harm your player).

My player is ethernet connected, for what it's worth.

Downloading now...

Both the static and dynamic linked programs work fine under SuSE 7.2. I used ethernet as well. Although I did use emplode before using emptool with 2.0b3, that may have something to do with it.

No, emptool crashes for me always. This is after upgrading the player and using the windows beta emplode to check out some playlists and synchronize and whatnot. I even fixed the metadata stuff, and just plain nuked anything it complained about. Then back to Linux, and .. segfault city.

Same for me on Redhat 7. It seems to work as long as you don't cd to the top level.

I just finished rebuilding it from sources, no difference.
It dies whenever doing "cd /" (or any path that takes one to the top level).

Works fine under RedHat 7.1 as well. Going to check to see if there is a 7.0 machine around in the lab.

I just tried it on a RedHat 7.0 machine, and would get this when exiting from time to time:

/> exit

Connection closed

pure virtual method called

Aborted (core dumped)

But working with it until the exit, it was fine. I'm not sure what the problem could be.

If I specify the IP address on the command line (which I usually do), there's no problem. If I let it search for the empeg, then I get a segmentation fault on doing "cd /".

Richard.

Yup.. specifying the ip address works for me also. Now I just have to incorporate something like that into my empsync scripts.

UPDATE: done.
My scripts now do "emptool -c" first, to obtain the IP-Address, and from then on they specify the IP-Address whenever invoking emptool. No more crashes.

If my empeg (mk2) is playing a tune when I run "emptool" and then do a "sync" from within emptool, then when the player restarts (after the sync) the player continues playing the tune and IGNORES all button presses (local or on the IR remote). BUG.

Yep, I get that one also.

type "cd /"

Believed FITNR.

FINTR, I wonder what that is ... better look it up on the net:

FITNR // adj.

Fixed In The Next Release. A written-only notation attached to bug reports. Often wishful thinking.

Apart from the last part, it sounds promising :)

OK, so, WITNR?
