My final act from within empeg:

http://www.empeg.com/v3alpha

No release notes yet - Peter will put some online next week. Files for the auto-eq are also "to follow" so don't use that feature yet.

Testing has been minimal - this probably won't work. But maybe it will!

Okay, but do you have any hints as to what's changed since the Amersfoort build?

Thanks for the build, Rob!

Will the existing files from the Amersfoort release continue to work, or will new files be required?

Also, the Amersfoort files were reported to have "pop" transients at the beginnings or ends of some of the files because the zero-crossover wasn't selected when the files were created. Were there plans to release a new set of zero-crossed files?

Anybody had any luck with this version? I seem to be unable to get a working playlist database. I've tried letting the player build its own database (rwm; delete database3; start player), jEmplode with and without "Rebuild from RAM", and emptool.

All methods appear to build a DB succesfully and the player reboots fine (without trying to rebuild on its own), but there is nothing in my playlist menu on the player. It just says "-None-"

jEmplode and emptool both show all my playlists, the player just doesn't seem to see them. I'm beginning to think Rob's last act was to hide all my music from me

Guess I'll roll back to alpha 8 and see what happens.

2) No idea

Yeah, I forgot to mention it, but mine worked fine until the first rebuild as well. After that rebuild nothing I could think of aside from going back to the previous alpha would bring the playlists back.

Same here, playlists work with all alpha's (3,5,7,8) but not with alpha 9. I did also start from scratch (Hard disk builder images) with my backup device, but never got the playlists on my MK2a.

ok, well, i was determined to get alpha9 working correctly, so i devised this workaround to get playlists. i basically uploaded the player binary as player-a9 on an a7 install. then, with the help of hijack and busybox, i've set up the following in config.ini

Code:

;@MENUEXEC UseV3a9 busybox killall -2 player && /empeg/bin/player-a9
;@MENUEXEC UseV3a7 busybox killall -2 player && /empeg/bin/player



so basically, load up with v3a7 by default, queue up your playlists, and goto v3a9. if you need to change playlists, go back to v3a7 for a bit. There was discussion before of setting up hijack to do this natively or even do some /dev trickery switching hda5 (the player partition) and hdc5 (never used) on boot up like ;@AC and HOME mode.

I am currently running 2.0 Final and would like to upgrade to the Alpha 9 build to get crossfade support. I do realize that there might/will be bugs because this is an Alpha build.

I would like to know, however, if any of you guys *expect* me to have any problems with playlists, etc if I'm comming from 2.0 Final.

I've seen some people say it works (and dosen't work) when comming from differant Alpha builds - But how about right from 2.0 Final?

Thanks guys!


Joey

Actually, I think we all agree that playlists will stop working after your first sync (if not before). I think you'd be better off with a7 (or 8 if you can get your hands on it) if your determined to run an alpha version.

Is this just the same old "forgot to remount the drives r/w" bug?

Or something new -- Empeg folks -- any guesses? Perhaps Hijack can provide a workaround.

I don't remember that bug, but I don't see how it could be. I went through all the steps (including the rwm/launch player/ro) by hand one of the times.

I have playlists like this in my top level:

Soundtracks
Various
Comedy
singles
A
B
C
..
X
Y
Z

All full albums are then below the single letters sorted by artist first. i.e. like

A
|
+-> Ash
....|
....+-> 1977

When I upgraded to alpha9 all my single letter playlists disappeared. Down, Down, Down only queued songs in the remaining playlists that I could see.

Downgrading to alpha8 and all the single letter playlists magically reappeared without any syncing.

Looking at the diff, there aren't in fact any user-visible changes from alpha 8 (just some cleanups, and work on unrelated projects). Except that I broke playlist support. I'll look into how my changes did that, hopefully this week, and try and lash together an alpha 10.

Thanks for the report Peter. If nothing has really changed couldn't you just release v3a8 to the general public?

Is there a reason I'm not aware of for not releasing v3a8?

As in CVS tagged? If so, surely you know the date/time it was built/checked out. I think you can tag things in the past in CVS can't you? Just check out a specific date/time and then tag it? Or can you only put a tag on what's currently HEAD?

I have no problem you releasing an alpha10. I just thought it might be easier to go with alpha8 for now. Saves someone (and that's someone else now right?) having to go through the release process again.

1. Yes, as in CVS tagged.
2. Whether Peter and John remember when they built it is another question.
3. Yes, you can tag things in the past.
4. CVS isn't atomic. Just because you know when you built something doesn't necessarily mean that checking out the same date and time will get you exactly the same source. Consider this:

I start a checkout at 09:00:00. At 09:00:05, it's reached files beginning with D. At 09:00:10, someone checks in a file beginning with A. At 09:00:25, my checkout finishes with those files beginning with Z.

Which time do I use to refer to that checked out copy? In this case, it's easy: 09:00:00.

However, what if, at 09:00:15, someone else checks in a file beginning with Y? Now 09:00:00 isn't the correct time for the checkout, because I managed to pick up file Y, but 09:00:25 wouldn't be correct, either, because it would include file A, which I didn't get.

OK, I'm used to small CVS installations where that sort of situation would be very rare. I doubt there are that many checking things in and out of CVS are there?

Nevermind - just thought it would be easier on the next person who has to release alpha10.

We have the datestamps on the upgrade files -- and fortunately they're all about 6.30pm, so it's unlikely any other check-ins were going on. What I'll probably aim to do, under-new-management permitting, is check out the repository at that date, build it, check it's reasonably OK, tag it, and release an alpha 8a. Hopefully I'll get around to that later this week, but Rio Cambridge has a lot on at the moment.

I will say, though, that CVS has never failed or corrupted data on us. And as much as non-atomic commits is lame, I can't say I've ever actually run into a case where it's caused a problem in more than 6 years of using it.

CVS does directory locking, though, so if you're checking out files, no-one else can check files in. I discovered this by leaving a bunch of files partially checked in one day (I left it sitting at the "enter a comment" part), and got back to a bunch of emails wondering why no-one could do anything with CVS. As a result, this may, or may not be a problem, depending on how you have your source code structured.

Just wondering if there has been any movement on making alpha8 available to the general Empeg community.

I realise the the development guys have probably got loads of better things to do, but it would be really nice for those of us not at Amersfoort to be able to share in the goodness.

Thanks,

Thanks again to all the development team who continue to provide their support for what is, after all, a dead product.

Bagpuss.

Cool!
The Alpha8-REceiver version looks interresting...
Could I use an empeg player with an old 3.5" harddisk as a receiver at home... How large would this harddisk have to be?

You'd need to organise a converter from 44-pin IDE to 40-pin, plus get 5V and 12V supply from somewhere.

About 100Mb should do. Perhaps you could lash something up with a CF card?

That should be doable... the player will probably be powered from regulated 12V anyway... converter "the other way" is easy to get hold of... May be possible to use... (To late in the evening for me to determine how difficlt it would be.)

I'm using Alpha7, since I don't like the way Alpha 8 sounds when I adjust the EQ.

I started to have some problems with playlists. When loading Emplode or Jemplode, sometimes I get errors saying some fids have 0 refs, and will be put in the root dir. Surprisingly, at that precise time they actually don't appear any more in their original playlists, so emplode and jemplode seem to be right. I am not 100% sure, but - and here's my question n. 1 - would it be possible that the problem occurs exactly when emplode or jemplode connect to the player? I am saying this because I don't notice any song missing during normal usage, but I may very well have not happened to enter a playlist and find it empty during normal usage.

After the prolem occurs, I have to move the fids back to their place and resync. Now, after few times this has happened (rarely, I have to say), I realized that, even after the sync, some playlist or song is still "missing". The tune is there, since I can find it with a search, but it does not appear in any playlist. Strange thing is, it does not even appear among the 0 refs tunes in the "all tracks" view. So, here's my second question:

Is it possible that the ref count is corrupted? If so, how can I fix it?

Thank you in advance!

Question N. 3. I remember seeing it asked, but could not find in which post.
Once I know a track has ref=1, is there a way to know in which playlist it is located?

There's a way to change the color in Jemplode, I think it's on the rightclick menu, it colors all trees that contain that track.

Hey! That's the same problem I've been having. There's a few posts scattered arount from me about that. I really havent't gotten anywhere with it, and am thinking that maybe what I need to do is reload everything just using jemplode.

One thing I've noticed is that some fids have a much higer refcount than they should. On my system it's just artist/album/song, so everything should only have one reference, but there are songs that have refcount=4, and they're ones that have disappeared after connecting.

Tony, thanks, that's a great idea.
I haven't had a chance to test it, yet, but that would tell us at least it there's actually a mistake in the ref count.

Metaglap, if there's such mistake, I wonder if there's a way to find out which songs have a refcount 1 and are not in any playlist, at east. Besides changing color to all of them, one by one...

Ok, playing around with colors, it seems to me that the refcount is not wrong. However, playlists tend to "lose" their sub-playlists.
For example, my "L" playlist lost all its content. So all the playlists underneath it decreased their ref count by one, and those which went down to refcount=0 generated the error I mentioned previously.

So the problem does not seem to be in the ref count, but in the fact that sometimes sub-playlists are "lost" and need to be relocated where they originally were.
