Have you heard anything about ReplayGain support on the alpha board?

No..

Tony,

Thanks much for the link to the Riovolution board. I for one am very pleased to hear the news.

So if you're going to go "down" to add content, it's gotta be down to 3.0a3 rather than 3.0a5.

Yeah, that'll probably work. I've come up with a cunning scheme to make it easier to switch between versions:

1. Install v2.00-final, and back it up to the drive0 partition, using:

# tar cvfz drive0/empeg-v2.00-final.tar.gz empeg

2. Install a bunch more music, while it's running a stable version.
3. Install v3.00-alpha3, and back it up similarly.
4. Install v3.00-nightly, and (again) back it up.
5. Install v3.00-alpha5, and (you guessed it) back it up.
6. Install the latest Hijack.

This'll make it easy to move between releases without faffing about with upgrade files, since only the player and libraries have changed between those versions.

v3.00-nightly

Hmmm, interesting.....

Hmmm, interesting.....

Nah, not really -- it's just the last build that I took away with me when I left. It falls somewhere between -alpha3 and -alpha5, and is more stable than either. I couldn't be bothered to remember the actual date of it.

There is a nightly build script at empeg, but it does nothing more than ensure that the code builds. It wouldn't be sensible to release that into the wild.

In reply to:

I no longer get the battery icon but now when I leave the car for a while and then come back and start it the empeg boots up and then goes into standby. I know the empeg would go into standby if it was in standby when the car was shut off but now it goes into standby regardless. To make it even more strange if it is playing and I remove it from the sled and then put it back it reboots and plays fine, the problem only seems to happen if the car is off for a while.

I've seen this (not necessarily every time) for several months. It's not often that I leave the player in the car - normally I shut off the car and remove the player (often in the other order) and it's fine. Most times, it resumes as expected, but sometimes it boots into standby. Not often enough to bug me, in all fairness.

Anyway, I returned yesterday and upgraded Hijack from v340 to v362, so I'll look out for it occurring on the new one. I wonder if it's a general issue with saving state on power fail? (and therefore dependent on whether it was in standby on the previous shutdown)?
