Why are you running Beta13 ? You should install 2.00final.

Yeah, what he said. There are a ton of fixes in 2.00 final that aren't even in the v3 alphas. I did very limited testing with 2.0b13 a long time ago, and didn't find anything extremely incompatible, but to be sure, please consider upgrading to v2.

It wasn't working because kftpd is trying to exec /bin/sh to then run the specified command. /bin/sh doesn't exist on a consumer release of the empeg software. I'm trying to think of any particular reason to use the consumer release instead of the developer release. The only one I can think of at the moment is that it's slightly smaller to download

Yeah. For what it's worth, I've added "developer image" to the requirements for emphatic.

Are you running something else right now that you'd want to use while emphatic is running, or are you just speaking hypothetically?
gpsapp is the only other thing I am running at the moment that would be a likely candidate. But, I'm not sure how well the two would play together anyway. To be useful, gpsapp would have to be able to take over the screen to give directions even if emphatic was currently scrolling song info. At that point you need more of a windowing system where multiple apps can draw to the screen at the same time and I realize that adds another layer of complexity to hijack that probably isn't worth the trouble. I guess hijack could do something cooperative where when an app wanted to grab the screen it could specify a priority and the highest priority wins total control of the display.
The nagging (hypothetical) concern in the back of my mind is that an appliication like emphatic that wants to be running all the time discourages development of other applications because it takes exclusive control of the empegs limited resources.

After trying for quite a while to get emphatic and GPSapp playing nice together (with both of them launching at boot-up), I have switched to using Launcher instead, and now I can choose either one to launch on command. I've found this to be a decent compromise.

Launcher?
Tony, can you please fill me in?
Both empacman and emphatic start at the same time on boot for me. (They both function by the way, running at the same time without crashing or freezing with empacman bieng in the background.)
I usually let empacman ends on it's own or I found that if you quick press the rotary button once, empacman goes away.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or by design, but is there a reason emphatic always turns off the visuals auto change feature when it starts up?

Launcher is a third-party application written by CanuckInLA that binds to the hijack menu as the only thing running in memory at that time. From that, you can choose to launch any programs you've configured within it. Here's a thread where I talk about it, but I don't have a link handy for you to download it. Launcher may have recently become obsoleted by Mark's completion of the Menu_exec feature, but I haven't tried that feature yet so I don't know quite how it works.

Yeah, that's a nagging concern of mine as well, and I asked for a solution to it in this thread. But there were still unresolved issues with the design of exactly how it would work. We got pretty far through some of the higher-level thinking, but when it came to "how do we actually code this so that it would work" things got stuck.
Without some way for the user to explicitly (and without a lot of effort) switch between which app is in the foreground, or the ability to have 2 or more apps write to different sections of the screen at the same time, I don't see how running multiple apps at one time can be practical.

The only things it should be doing on startup are:
1. Switch to Info:Off
2. Select the visual of the first display mode.
It's possible it's getting hung up on the visual selection. The only way I can select a specific visual is by sending IR codes to invoke the player menu. If it's landing on the wrong menu item, then it's possible the menus aren't always acting the same, or IR codes are being lost or something.
Edit: Okay, you're running v3a7, which is what I did 99% of my development on. So I think maybe the IR codes aren't all getting through properly. I think I'll slow down the rate at which I send them in the next version to see if that helps things along.

Bingo, that isn't happening so it must be getting the wrong menu item. I can see it going through the menus as you send IR codes and its clearly selecting the auto change menu and then off rather than my selected visual (Image Pan). I'm running v3a7.

I think this was mentioned before but if you have anything selected other than "off" on the player's menu>shuffle, emphatic will shuffle (if shuffle is selected in emphatic) by album and not songs.
Is this a feature or bug?

D'oh. Strange that it would be that consistent. Can you do the following for me? Without emphatic rnning, enter the following button presses (you'll need a remote handy):
Bottom
4
Bottom
3
Left
Bottom
Where do you land? You should be in the visuals by name menu. That's the sequence emphatic is sending. If you land somewhere else then something funky is going on. Otherwise, I'll have to think about slowing down the rate at which I'm sending IR codes.

Say what?
All "shuffle" from within emphatic does is send a Zero IR code. Which toggles between "shuffle off" and "whatever shuffle mode you last selected."
What is "shuffle by album?" Sounds like an oft-requested feature that doesn't exist on the empeg.

Aw, crap. Let me guess, you don't have any Favorite Visuals defined?
Looks like I made an assumption that the "Favorites" menu option would be there, but apparently, it disappears.

Okay, I'll have to pick another way of landing on the visuals by name option. It'll probably be hitting 7 instead of 3 to land on "Select Mode" and then going left twice, but I need to test that on a v2 player, as I have a faint memory of the Visuals menu changing quite a bit between v2 and v3. I hope I can find something that works for both so I don't have to code special cases.
If you want, you can delete the "visual=" attribute from the display mode(s) and it won't bother switching visuals.

Actually I should of said Artist not Album. Never mind. It was past lunch and I was very hungry. I think the player was forcing shuffle "off" even though on emphatic's display I had an "s" for shuffle mode. I can not duplicate the behavior so it must of been "user error"

That's funny. I know I've seen the feature in Hijack but is no longer there?!?!

Try Hijack's feature first, rather than worrying about installing Launcher. It might be better and easier. I just haven't tried it yet.

Tony, I was having a problem running previous version in the car(DC mode).Do you know what caused it or if it works in the car/DC mode?I haven't reinstalled it yet to check it out.
Also does it matter where it gets installed eg:/usr/local/bin or can it be as simple as /programs ?

I honestly don't know what caused it, but I recommend you try v2.01 and see how it goes. I have one other report of problems in the car, and I'm working on getting some more info.

You might want to set your serial port rate to be 115200 in car mode and make sure that hijack has supress_notify=1. That might help DC mode problems.
