I just installed Hijack v320 via FTP (I had Hijack v29x previously), and have noticed that it is no longer running kftpd or khttpd. I use both of these extensively, so it was definitely working prior to the upgrade.

Anyone have any idea what could be going on?

it is no longer running kftpd or khttpd.

Then the player is in DC/Car mode. Those features are off by default in Car mode ([Hijack] DC_servers=1 will allow them to work in car mode). Either because it's in the car, or because you're powering it from the car docking connector, or because you have forced it to DC mode using Hijack, or because of a faulty AC sensor switch.

Thanks for the hints, but no go. The player is powered by the regular AC adapter (just as it was prior to the Hijack upgrade), I'm not forcing it into a different mode, and Hijack's menu tells me that it thinks it's in AC/Home mode.

I know the networking is working, because I can ping the IP and use emplode. But no dice with ftp/http.

khttpd and kftpd announce when they're starting up in the boot log. Check to see if there's any funny business in the boot log when you start your player.

There doesn't seem to be any mention of the ftp/http servers in the boot log at all, either way. The only thing out of the ordinary is the last line:

! mp3_decoder.cpp :1049:Failed to find valid sync after seeking to offset 1158
748, error=0xc0044000

However, everything else seems to be fine.

Well, I would argue that it's "out of the ordinary" for it to not show the "khttp: listening on port 80" message. Mind posting the relvant sections of your config.ini?

Stick "notify=1" into the appropriate section of config.ini -- it's somewhere in the FAQ, though perhaps not for this specific problem. Let us know if that cures it.

Thanks, that was the pointer that I needed.

I think that the problem was that my config.ini file was too large thanks to the Favorite Visuals bug (I had 7000+ lines of that stuff), so it wasn't being processed correctly. I got rid of those lines, and it's working now.

(btw, I have notify=1 in config.ini, but it may not have been processed due to the Favorite Visuals thing, I guess)

Damn, I was wrong again?

I must be losing my touch.

Oh, and by the way, this error:

! mp3_decoder.cpp :1049:Failed to find valid sync after seeking to offset 1158
748, error=0xc0044000

is not an error, it is a normal message, it doesn't indicate a problem, everyone gets that message. It will be removed in the next software release.
