I came in today and hooked up my RioCar to my ethernet cable, external power, and my set of RCA cables at my desk. I then fired up emplode and saw another RioCar on the network. Wow.

Whats to keep that other user from connecting to my RioCar and deleting all my music? I connected to his and I could have done anything that I wanted. I dont think I like that. Any ideas on what I can do to protect it while its on a large lan?

There is currently no password protection built in to the car player. They have implemented password protection on the HSX-109, but there is no word on when that feature will get ported to the car player.

In the meantime, you can work around it two ways:

1) Use USB to connect the player to your work PC.

2) Put the player on a fixed IP address in a different subnet, as described here.

Good, wasn't mine, it's not plugged in today

(Rather parnoid of mine as well, since it sits on one of the larger private networks in the world.)

Hijack v182, place this into config.ini:

[hijack]

;@WORK disable_emplode=1

;@WORK kftpd_password=c00lDo0d35

;@WORK khttpd_files=0

Or instead of the last line above, maybe disable it completely:

;@WORK khttpd_port=0

-ml

NICE. Thanks alot! What determines if the player is at work or not?

See this thread...

and try that handy dandy search feature of the BBS. Does wonders. =]

If you have any ";@WORK" or ";@HOME" lines in config.ini, then there will be (v182) a Hijack menu entry for "Home/Work Location". Use that.

Cheers

*sigh*

we really need a hijack faq. I guess i'd be willing to give it a shot... in my copius non-existant amount of free time...

If you want access to add it to RioCar.org, I'll create an admin account for you...

Interesting. This is what I have in my config.ini file (at the very top) and I dont have the Home/Work menu option in the Hijack menu. Yes I do have 182 on it. :-)
Did I do something stupid?

[hijack]
kftpd_password=passhere
khttpd_files=1
;@WORK disable_emplode=1
voladj_low=0x3000,100,0x1000,25,60
voladj_medium=0x6000,409,0x1000,27,70
voladj_high=0x6000,3000,0xc00,30,80

it is calling Home/Work Location after High Temerature Warning....

bye

Hm, all I have is:

Force AC/DC Power Mode
Hard Disk Detection
High Temperature Warning
Knob Press Redefinition

<shrug>

Are you sure this is all there is? I take it you've tried scrolling up & down using the volume knob?

BUG!

I'll put out a v183 shortly.

OK I take back what I said. Sorry!!

Sweet, v183 fixed it. Thanks Mark!!

Mark, everything worked fine when the unit was in the office, but when I put it in my car, Hijack said there were errors with the config file. I switched it to @home and it did the same thing.

Connect to the serial port, and reboot. The errors will be noted somewhere near the bottom of the subsequent output.

You can "simulate" DC/Car mode at the home/office, using the "Force Power Mode" option from the Hijack menu.. just don't forget to set it back to normal after you finish with it.

-ml

Sorry Mike, this was a problem on my part. I fixed it. I'll be sure to check the output of on the serial cable before wasting your time.

-Allistah

btw it's Mark.

haha, I know this. I guess I must have still been sleepin this morning. Sorry bout that Mark. :-P
