help me crank it up

[soopahphro]

I went ahead and got the latest version from the cvs to check out the
top level home stuff and the changes, looks good. I got 2 errors
while running it tho.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at lib/SliMP3/Buttons/Home.pm
line 170, <DATA> line 36.
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at
lib/SliMP3/Buttons/Browse.pm line 233, <DATA> line 37.

The first one happens when you hit left (at the home menu) first
without going right, the second happens all the time whenever i
descend into either of the playlist or music menu's.

I think making a hook into the Home menu sounds pretty good, I'll go
ahead and start moving the code to the top level stuff. Maybe a new
toplevel called 'Other'.

Or I can go ahead and setup a diff for you to look at first and we
can go from there ?

Btw if anyone does anyone IM I use them all;

msn: superfr0-***@public.gmane.org

Just incase you (or any one else) didn't want to wait on for the list.

I thought about doing it like that too, to go ahead and make it

like

the 'browse / playlist' mode, so you'd hit guide and you scroll
through the 'info modules' and pick what you want. Right now it

just

splashes them all. I'm interested in getting the 'structure' down
that everyone wants before I go any further, why don't you take a
look at what I got so far to see if we can mold it into something.

Ok, send me the patch file and I'll take a look. What we might do

is

have me frame out the Info UI and then you can fill it in with the
functionality.

Also a quick question, when the server starts I need to call
SliMP3::Modules::startModules($client) .... where's a good place to
do this from? I was doing it from server.pl but I only want to

call

it once, it's called for a init (each module gets the init flag
called to startup). So I moved it to the guide button so right now
the first time you hit it, it calls init instead of update, (then
from there on it's update), but this was just a quick fix till I

find

somewhere else. Any ideas?

Well, if it needs to be called for every client when that client
first registers, then server.pl is probably the place. If you can
defer it to the first time that feature is used on a client, then

put

it in that modules area.

Did the long file name scrolling work ok ?

Seemed to when I saw it. I didn't play with it that much. I might
want to tweak the text a bit, but otherwise it seemed ok.

So you got my patches working properly? I've got a few more
patches I've been working on. I've setup the 'guide' button as
a 'info module'. There is a Module.pm I made and some other changes
to get it up in running. In the Module.pm I have some module struct
code (for the info modules) and so far put together 4 modules. A
localtime module (there was no other way to check time except to turn
the power off =), a server load and cpu average load (the current
load that the server.pl is sucking up and the total machine load
average), I added a check email module along with some POP3 code.
And a server uptime (how long the server.pl has been running). I'm
got in mind a bandwidth checker next. The code is pretty good but
like I said my perl is kinda rusty so the perl gurus might know
better ways to accomplish things. Anyway the principal is this. The
guide butting launches all the installed modules (which can be
inserted in any order and any number of modules). So when you push
guide it runs through each module's output and shows them to you for
a few secs, there are 2 types so far, the first time is a real time
module (delay of 1), when you push guide they get updated
instantanious, then delay of 2 means that module is in charge of
updating itself (or never updating itself, never updating could be
useful for some 1 time info, Ie (operatating system is Linux and
that's all it says)). The email one is not updated when you push
guide, it has its own timer that does it (based on a variable that
should be set when the email settings are configured)... Like I said
so far it's looking pretty good. Let me know if you're interested
in seeing what I got so far, it'll be much easier to understand what
I'm doing once you see it...

I just checked in a change that gives visual feedback for volume

control.

Give it a shot and see if it's still to slow for you and let me

know

what you think.

In message 742, (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/slimp3-
dev/message/742) I detailed what I needed to do to get the
remote to work for me. With the default +/-1 settings for volup and
voldown, the volume did change extremely slowly (so slow I wondered
if it was even working). I've since changed them to 5 and I'm much
happier.
-- Tom Jones

Hi all,
I'm trying to merge in Paul King's volume display code, but I
seem to have configured my remote away from the volume buttons
working AND I can't find the instructions.
Sean's earlier instructions aren't working for me, so there must
be some other setting I need to change to enable the volume
controls.
Anybody got the manual in hand and can help me out?
