Did you remember the number is in hex, though?
Yeah, but I didn't have the equals sign. At least I don't think I tried that. I'll give it another shot tonight probably.

Ah, the classic Brain Damage - > Eclipse, Heartbreaker -> Living Loving Maid, We Will Rock You -> We Are the Champions problem.
Better yet... One Week -> Jerry Springer, Lola -> Yoda, Desperado -> Eldorado...

I remember years ago someone asking for a Weird Al shuffle. That could be made an extension of this.

Of course there's an easy way to setup a playlist to do this already (by creating a sub-list for each pair and then selecting "always randomize" at the parent level), as long as all you want is originals and Weird Al songs bound together. Don’t think I’d want a straight diet of this though . . .

The flaw in this strategy is that it requires that shuffle is turned off. Shuffle modes will also randomize within each sub-playlist, which is not the desired effect.

You have compelled me to turn on my TiVo and watch some Dilbert.

Now I'll get nothing done today.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

True, though shuffle could be easily turned off when in a "Weird Al" mood. For my part I almost never turn on shuffle (though I've been toying with some of the custom shuffle modes lately), instead using this method of sub-playlists to build up my random lists weighted the way I like, binding songs together, and spacing out songs by the same artist.

Serial commands sent to /proc/empeg_notify don't work if the player is started with the -s- option, which in all latest versions of Hijack it is. This is to allow userland access to the serial port, but makes it hard to tell the player you want to do something new.

See this thread.

Edit: Forgot to mention that Hijack only starts up the player with -s- while in the car, not on AC power.

Right. I forgot. And it's annoying, because I really want to use the serial port for GPS, and still inject commands into the player. This shouldn't be a big deal, because it's not like the commands are coming in serially.

So uh, maybe I should write some code to lie to the player and convince it opening the serial port worked, even when you're using it for something else?

Okay, but for clarification, is that "real DC power" or "virtual DC power"? I'm docked in one of mlord's docking stations... I know that it's really on power via the docking connector, but it fakes the player out to home mode. Is empeg_notify disabled under these circumstances? Other Mark?

Hi Tony, I still can't find the install bat on your web page for windows. Is there something I'am missing on your web page and if not could you e-mail me those files needed?

Thanks,
Ibcnu

They're inside the emphatic distribution archive, emphatic-1.10.tar.gz, which you can unzip with WinZip and most other archiving programs.

I'm not sure about "real" DC power or the docked power, I seem to remember Mark messing with the pins on the docking connector and changing Hijack to think that it was AC, though.

I agree with dbrashear. We need a way to send commands to the player and also have use of the serial port. Would that be a modification to Hijack?

For some reason I get the idea that I should build lsof for the empeg.


Ok, so, I guess I did, finally.

Procrastinating on work. Hey, if I had time to maintain this activity level for a while I'd have been special enough to be an alpha tester
