I don't remember seeing the findFid function

It could be cleaned up with your RemoteFid class, but the basic idea is attached. My guess is you removed it because it was kind of a hack and then forgot to replace it with something better

While we're on the topic, and all anxiously waiting for updated tools.. Heh.. Should it be possible to use the Logo Editor plugin in 48? I don't have any entries on the Plugins menu in 48.. I had to fire up 47 in order to change animated boot logos.

If you're just running 48 by running the jar separately, it won't find the plugins ... Once I get the real installers up (after I get 48 to work right ), it will put them in the right place and setup the classpath properly ...

OK everyone .. My sat connection has been down for the past 3 days, but now that the "helpful" folks at DirecWay have me back up on a new frequency, I can actually get some work done at home. So I'll work on these problems when I get home tonight.

Ah hah .. I see waht happened ... I never applied your second patch. Remember when I had you resend the first patch? I had a brain fart and was thinking that was both of them together, which it wasn't. So I never actually did have those fixes ... I have the email w/ the second patch though. Checking it out now.

Thanks for catching that Mike ...

i broke the database rebuild by doing the following. i deleted a file completely, then created a new playlist. i then said, i dont need that playlist, so i went to the pending operations, and deleted that event that created it. when i synced, it died on updating All Music.

now, this was all good since i could try and rebuild the database on v3a5 manually. but here's what happened:

[RemoteFid: name=101; path=/empeg/fids0/_00000/; fullPath=/empeg/fids0/_00000/101; fid=257]
playlist = adjusted to 7 entries
[RemoteFid: name=111; path=/empeg/fids1/_00000/; fullPath=/empeg/fids1/_00000/111; fid=273]
playlist = adjusted to 0 entries
[RemoteFid: name=181; path=/empeg/fids0/_00000/; fullPath=/empeg/fids0/_00000/181; fid=385]
playlist = adjusted to 0 entries

Is it possible you ran the commandline and something else was running on your Empeg also? This is basically failing when uploading /empeg/var/tags. Can you check and see if there's anything weird looking about that folder on your Empeg? Does the file exist or not?

yup, its there. the serial log give a lot of errors. here's the tail of it.

kftpd: open(/empeg/fids0/_00001/fd1) failed, rc=-2

hijack: Remounting read-only: /

and i think its mounting the wrong partition rw. it says /, but isnt it supposed to be the music partitions?

Note to self: caches that never clear, have no upper bound, and get hit a lot with unique values are not healthy for memory use

noted

ROFL!

That was excellent!

/me laughs

after a few tries, i have come to a two fold conclusion on my RebuildDatabase errors.

first of all, the reason why it can't write the /empeg/var/tags file is because it sets / as rw, not the music partitions. this is demonstrated by me actually running 'rwm' right before executing the command, and it has no trouble writing all of the necessary files. this becomes unnecessary if we do it from the GUI, since the sync makes the music partitions writable.

but unfortunately, the resulting database is corrupt. i imagine that its because you're counting the number of kftp err=-2 lines before terminating the fid scan. i imagine this is to prevent jemplode from scanning way past the maximum fid. this is fine and dandy for most, but i recently deleted the first 2000 songs that i first uploaded, and probably decimated the _00000 and _00001 directories totally as a result. so it only gets to /_00002/ (actually, its _00003 now, since i started uploading and probably reusing the deleted fids) before terminating and trying to write the tags and database3 files.

so, if this is what really is happening (didnt look at the source, so be gentle), might i suggest recursively doing an ls -al in ftp and parsing the results, instead of blindly trying to read fids?

So... I'm just having issues

I've installed the Alpha 5 upgrade on my Mk II, and I have NONE of my playlists... I've tried rebuilding the playlist db using the command from the command line that have been suggested in other threads and it ran just fine with no errors... But still no love on the playlists... When going into the playlists on the emepeg it just says "None".

Also, how would I upload new tunes if I can't connect to it through jEmplode or emplode?

I get Out of memory errors while using emplode when it rebuilds the db, and nothing happens at all in jEmplode...

I can use any and all help...

(Btw - I've been waiting over a year and a half for crossfade support, and this is the ONLY reason I ever tried putting the alpha upgrade on here... If anyone has another solution, i'd be willing to entertain those options... And yes, for those that are wondering I am impatient, and maybe worse, I am stubborn as all hell )

That's what I get. I'm not willing to go through and figure out what it's choking on so I went back to alpha 3.

Alpha3 has crossfade, and mostly works otherwise. I can upload music to it and rebuild the database.

Where do I get my hands on alpha 3?
