I think the patch is against beta8 again on this one, but I'll just grab the binary for the purposes of testing this out.

Whoa... On this one every button I press puts my Empeg into standby mode... Shifted or not.. I can paste in my IR trans debug output if that helps...

>> code & ~~BUTTON_FLAGS_LONGPRESS, 0)

Tony, just extract the hijack.c from v148 and stuff it into your v147+mods tree.. then fix the obvious typo on the above line from v148 (I hate tiny laptop screens!!!)

-ml

Okay with that fixed (I assume you meant change the ~~ to a ~) I no longer get all buttons sending my unit into standby, but I still have it sending both the cancel and shift codes when I'm in the UI. I haven't changed my translations from those listed above.

Okay, so this is becoming very tedious.. I'm putting out v151 shortly, and deleting IR translations from it completely, to save my sanity.



Heh heh.. just kidding there.

But try v151 anyway.

Cheers

Like I said earlier, whenever you want to put this down and work on other stuff, I'm cool with that. A lot of the stuff in your "to do list" would probably be more valuable than getting the translations exactly right in what is admittedly an unusual configuration. But as long as you continue to tweak, I'll continue to report on how it's working.

I'll admit, you had me for a second though.

Hey Mark,

I haven't tried another version of HiJack yet.. I'm using 1.41 still.. Your releasing them WAY too fast Anyway. Is the Restore DC/Car Visuals still busted?

Not busted that I know of -- it works for me.

Cheers

Mark, everything I've tried so far in v151 has worked to my liking. I still have to add some more translations for the numbers and test those out, but it looks like things are working the way I expect them to. Thanks much for sticking with it!

yeah, I haven't gotten a chance to say how cool I think this is. mainly because I don't have anything to complain about! thanks so much Mark, hijack is definitely one of the coolest things to happen to my empeg. I'm still a CPS course or two from being able to contribute, but I'm working on it. Thanks again.

john

You're welcome, dude!

Well I just installed 1.51 and Restore Visuals still isn't working for me!

Can I provide a dump of the com port or something?

I just used EtherFlash and it works great No more using the com cable!

Okay, I'll only ask this ONE MORE TIME..

If you want a fix, you have to provide information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Like, what input source are you using? Tuner AM/FM, AUX, MP3

Like, what visual is on the screen at power off?

Like, what info mode was active at power off?

etc..

I'm playing a Britney Spears song and Hijack is messing up by flashing its menu and stuff ya know man. It's the song where she has like that video and her cup size is sort of a B at the beginning but sometimes near the end it changes for a little bit to a C. Do you know the one I'm talking about? I can send a video clip if it will help track down the problem.

Bruno

Ok, just trying to be humourous.

I think the problem is that Hijack is getting a little excited since the MP3 you're using has secret steganographic nude images of Britney Spears in it.

Try covering her with a tarp and see if the problem recurs.

Yeah, I think tfabris posted the URL for that totally amazing version of "oops, I didit again".

The best I can suggest here is that you turn on the "Show Buttons" display, and judge for yourself.

-ml

Now mark calm down that's why I was asking what Info you needed. Here ya go:

HiJack Version: 1.51
Player Version: 2.0b7

Visual being used: "Scope" Tried others as well. I also tried to toggle off Favorite Visuals but that didn't help either.

Input Source: Mp3 (I don't have a tuner)

I'm playing the Entire root on shuffle. But same happens on a Single Playlist without Shuffle.

All of the below produce the same result. I selected these before power-off.
Info: Line
Info: Off
Info: Transient

At power on I see "End of Playlist" for a split second in the middle of the display with [--/--] in the bottom

Then it displays the info mode "Info: Now & Next"

The info mode "Info: Track" is re-displayed fine after power down.

The empeg behaves the same if I "Force DC/Car Mode" while powering from the barrel connector.

Now I remember when Restore Visuals worked.. I remember hearing key press sounds selecting the visual, but I hear nothing now, except my music

Oh, I just installed Hijack for the first time tonight. Woohoo. I've been meaning to for a long time, but just never got around to it - I was going to wait until I pick up that Kenwood steering wheel remote (rather until I get someone in the US to pick it up for me and send it over )

Any reason why the following IR translation doesn't work as intended?

20DF07=000008.L

Just works as if there's no .L modifier. This was the very first IR mapping I tried. Just wanted to get the Hijack menu up by using the Tuner button on the Rio remote.

Bruno

Just works as if there's no .L modifier. This was the very first IR mapping I tried. Just wanted to get the Hijack menu up by using the Tuner button on the Rio remote.

Not sure why that particular one doesn't work but try this instead to accomplish the same effect:

20DF07=20df12.L

Though I'm not sure why you would to bother when you can just hold down the OK Button to get the Hijack menu from the Rio Remote. I guess pressing a button is a little easier than holding one?

Single-press is faster, plus I want to use the Long-OK for something else.

I'll probably end up swapping the remote buttons for Search and Cancel as well. They weren't put in logical places, were they?

Most of this will be for testing anyway - I'll end up using the Kenwood mounted to the wheel and the Rio remote will be for passengers.

Bruno

>20DF07=000008.L

I think this could be just a feature of Hijack: when the final press of a translated sequence is .L, then hijack doesn't "release" that button until you release the real one.. So if you hold the button down too long, the player will just ignore it when the release finally comes (a "feature" of the player for some buttons).

To force the behaviour I think you want, try this instead:

>20df07=000008.L,ffffff

Cheers

Oh.. you're not trying the remap the KNOB, are you?

The KNOB is the ONLY button that ir_translate [probably] won't work with. Everything else is translatable, including rotations. But not knob presses. They're currently "special".

Cheers

Well, this (restore visuals) all works fine for me. I tried every scenario you listed, and they all worked. Including an "End of Playlist" test.

Speaking of which.. what's with the "End of Playlist" you are seeing. This is definitely an anomaly, unless your player really was at the end of a playlist before power off.

And what else is hiding in your [ir_translate] section of config.ini? Got any "initial=" or "initial.C" or "initial.H" lines in there?

This is a feature that works for everyone else, so we need to determine what you are doing that is different.

Thanks

Ok thanks for looking into it. When I get home I'll post what I have in [ir_translate]. I don't think I have any .C or .H.

Also this "End of Playlist" is displayed in the Middle of the screen (height wise).. and then the [--/--] is in the bottom right. This is only displayed for a split second, and then the music starts playing where it left off. On the Now & Next screen.

Is there any other info that would help? I must admit this is really weird! Cause this was working perfectly for me up until a couple of weeks ago.

Mmm.. I suppose the best info you can supply at this point would be transcriptions of the "Show Flash Savearea" lines for "40:" and "48:" for both "before rebooting" and "after rebooting", both with "Restore DC/Car Visuals" turned "OFF".. and again with it turned "ON".

Perhaps one of the bits that Hijack is looking at has a double meaning of some kind..

Thanks

Ok Mark here we go:

Info Mode: Info: Off
Visual: Scope
Single Playlist: Shuffle Off

Restore DC/Car Visuals: Enabled
Show Flash Savearea
Before Reboot:
40: 0001 0100 9042 0100
48: 5510 0000 2305 0000
After Reboot:
40: 0001 0100 9042 0100
48: 5510 0000 2305 0000

Restore DC/Car Visuals: Disabled
Show Flash Savearea
Before Reboot:
40: 0001 0100 9042 0100
48: 5510 0000 2305 0000
After Reboot:
40: 0001 0100 9042 0100
48: 5510 0000 2305 0000

Here's the mods I've made to the config.ini:

877c8c=ffffffff ; ignore volume down on NAD remote

Just an update, I've tried multiple versions of HiJack
v84, v89,v95 and others including my brothers which is running v99. And Restore Visuals doesn't seem to work with any of the versions I have!

Or on either of the players I have. I'm not sure what's going on.

This doesn't make sense

I have trouble believing that this data was collected using a genuine Hijack kernel, without any modifications. This is because the before/after views look to me as if Hijack isn't getting a chance to run and do anything.

Does Hijack "remember" your settings over reboots?

Eg. set the "restore dc/car visuals" to "disabled" and reboot, and see if it remembered the "disabled" setting. Then do it again for "enabled".

This is semi-related to this topic.

My "Restore DC/Car Visuals" works flawlessly except in these conditions:

- After a sync with emplode
- After a soft reboot (quit the player, picker menu, back to player)

Other then that, I love this feature. Thanks Mark.

Tom

Yeah, those conditions will definitely prevent it from working, but no big deal.
