Aside from the vastly improved amount of colors.
The Gel Lenses are Smoke and Clear Lenses with a colored film attached to them.

Stupid question: where is the config.ini file in the file system?

...you have a trail of lights following you

Yeah, they've got some of those just outside Cambridge. They're pretty freaky.

/empeg/var

They're putting lit cats' eyes in a main road here. They'll change colour according to whether the traffic will be peak hour or not to make an extra lane available. Light sensitive cats' eyes sound pretty cool though.

In my town, it's like pulling teeth just to get them to fill in a pothole.

You don't pay as much road tax as we do

Rob

as far as the gel coloration, is it as true as the other colors that are non-filmed?

and also, do you have plans to incorporate that bezel look into and other colors besides the neon ones?

In my town, it's like pulling teeth just to get them to fill in a pothole.

Every trip to CA reminds me of how well Colorado does on maintaining roads. Potholes created from a huge rain storm on minor streets are usually fixed in days, and the major ones get fixed in a day or two at most.

Highway expansion is another area completly though. I think the 3 lane expansion for the Springs will probably take 10-15 years to complete, for 9-10 miles of highway.

Anyone know if any of the lenses make a good match for the blue panel lighting in new VWs?

JEmplode has an "edit config.ini" menu item somewhere.

Cheers

Evan, before trying to mess with config.ini, please read this FAQ entry as well as this FAQ entry as they contain important information.

Hi,

I made some mods a few weeks ago to CharcoalGray99.

1. Didn't like everything sitting in / so fixed that. I keep it all in /var/empeg/khttpd with a single index.html in my root.

2. Removed the 'Playlists' link and inserted them permanently into the middle section which looked kinda empty at the time. Also added a 'bitrate' column to the playlist table.

3. Added a "need notify=1" feature to the now playing thingie if it couldn't get the info from empeg_notify.

4. Made the now playing thingie auto refresh every second. Timeout is easily changable.

5. Added an HTML link. Handy in case viewed in a non patched IE.

Think that's all I changed. Screenshot attached.

Anyone want this?

Whoops, sorry. In point 1 I meant to say I keep everything in /empeg/khttpd not /var/empeg/khttpd.

I'd like to have a copy, please.

Thanks,

Believe it or not, I actually ran into a guy who works at a company that makes these electronic reflectors. They come in a multitude of varieties and can be custom made to spec. The most interesting ones include the one with a little battery in it with a solar cell that trickle charges during the day, and a photo sensor to turn on at night and light up. There is one with a "fog" sensor with two metal things sticking out the side about 1mm. When it gets foggy they start blinking or whatever. And there are ones that are run on plain old batteries and can function for 6 years straight. Some of them are meant to be stuck permanantly, some are deployed with rubber bottoms during hazard situations. They're pretty cool. I can probably get one from them for $11 or so. They're probably a bit cheaper in bulk, but still not as cheap as plain old plastic of course.

Can you fix it to work with Mozilla?

That would interest me: I'd finally be able to see how useful (or not) is the XML support I placed in Hijack aeons ago.

Cheers

(needless to say, I don't do Wi..)

An old old Bill Cosby stand up routine talked about the "hiccups" in the road. They helped both the drunk and the sober drivers. The sober would know they fell asleep when they heard those, and the drunks knew they went off the road when the thump-thump-thump stopped.
Of course PC-ness makes it un-funny to many now days...

I might see if I can have a play with this over the weekend. No promises mind, I do lots of XSLT with MSXML 3.0, but I don't know how different the Mozilla parser is. In theory it should just work, but we all know about Netscape's and Microsoft's ability to read a standard the same way...

Hi,

Sorry for taking so long to respond.

I've zipped up my changes and it's available for download from http://root.nis.za/misc/cgxslv1.2+aragon.zip .

The installation is a little different. You'll need to create a 'khttpd' directory in /empeg. Here you need to upload the images directory, default.css, default.xsl, empeg_notify.html, ftp.html, and jscript.js. Be careful not to overwrite your existing jscript.js with mine as I've removed a lot of the default menu items which you might want to keep. You'll need to edit mine to your liking (the old jscript.js won't work correctly). The last file is index.html that, ideally, should be placed in your root.

You'll also need to add khttpd_style=/empeg/khttpd/default.xsl to the [hijack] block of your config.ini.

When I made the changes I think I removed the links on the left that point to the myDirectories shortcuts. Sorry guys, if you like this you'll have to copy/paste it back from the original code . It should be in the original default.xsl.

Aragon

Mmm.. it would be really great if you could find the time. I'd kinda like to see how all of this works someday.

Thanks

Hi Mark,

Strange. I thought XML was supposed to be one up on HTML wrt standards. I had to install Microsoft's XML addon to get IE 5.5 parsing XML. Is Mozilla's support builtin?

I don't have Mozilla, but with a screen shot I can try spot what needs fixing.


Regards,
Aragon

Yeah, mozilla has XML built-in.

And they claim to follow the XML standard very closely.
Perhaps "common practice" does NOT follow the standard as well..

The mozilla folks can be pretty ana% when it comes to "following standards at all costs". Which is why I cannot access my online banking, or Ingram Micro account, using Mozilla. Ugh.

IE enjoys supporting a pre 1.0 XML standard, while Mozilla only supports the 1.0 standard. Most people learned XML with all the pre 1.0 code standard, and unfortunatly quite a bit was changed in 1.0.

IE supports 1.0, so it's just a matter of getting the programmers to stop being lazy about it and learn the changes. Unfortunatly I don't have a huge grasp on XML client side yet, so I can't do much for the interface on the player. All my XML experience is on parsing it in PHP, then turning it into standard HTML for the client.

Thanks for pointing out the charcoal grey stylesheet. It was trivial to install, but I can't get the "Now Playing" thing to work at all, no matter what I try. Right now, I have, under my [hijack] section in config.ini, the following:

[hijack]
extmute_on=0x74
extmute_off=0x73
;@WORK disable_emplode=1
;@WORK kftpd_password=empeg
kftpd_show_dotfiles=1
khttpd_files=0
khttpd_dirs=0
khttpd_playlists=1
khttpd_commands=1
time_offset=-480
[output]
notify=1
[ir_translate]
PopUp0=Shuffle,Repeat,Info,Visual,SelectMode,Clock,Detail
KnobLeft=KnobLeft.U,Info.N,null
KnobRight=KnobRight.U,Visual+.N,null
74=Auxiliary
73=Player
;Kenwood RC-500 Remote
B94613=Ok
B9460D=Cancel
B9460C=Search
B9460A.LN=Track-
B9460B.LN=Track+
B94616=Shuffle
B9460F=Info


I still don't see anything under "Now Playing". Also, I don't know if this is related, but I am getting some wierd behavior with the virtual remote function. It seems to act as if I am holding down each button. For example, when I reveal the remote window, and click the Menu/OK button, it goes to the hijack menu as if I had held it down.

Oops...just checked whether it's a browser bug, and the button problem appears to be Mozilla-related...however, IE still doesnt reveal anything under "Now Playing".

Sorry for making this thread fall even more off topic.

In reply to:

---

khttpd_files=0
khttpd_dirs=0

---

If I add these lines to my config, the Now Playing section stops working - if I remove them, it works again. I imagine this is because the page is looking in the 'proc' dir (?) which stores information on playlists, song id's, time into song, etc.

HTH,

A.

Thanks for the tip...now it works like a charm.

I'm really starting to like Mozilla, yet it just doesn't seem to work properly with this interface. The most obvious thing is that the display in the upper right corner doesn't automatically update. After using the browser for a week or so, I'm already finding the tabbed browsing and the cookie/password management stuff indispensable. Anyone try this XML stylesheet using Opera?
