Hey all, I've got a preliminary version of my style to make use of marks beautiful ?.xml hack.

Just untar and ungzip the attachment and pop it into your root directory on the empeg.

point your browser at http://[ip-address]/drive0/fids/101?.xml and take a gander. It's biased towards MSIE right now but I'll be changing that.

Some of the stuff doesn't work (i.e the more info link). It was inspired by marks original layout but I've added a nicer non-generic look to it. try it out and tell me what you think of it.

Cheers;
Theory

http://empeg/drive1/fids/101?.xml

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

what version of hijack are you using? I think there were xml issues with earlier versions.

Sweet! I like the borderless table look.

I've been playing around with my own style also, it's not complete yet but I have a couple things working.

Heres my files if anyone wants to take a look.

I don't know anything about XML so the code may look nasty. Works with IE6.

Awesome xsl.. one suggestion though, to get the Play link to work correctly, change line 91 to be:
<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="@tagfid"/>?SERIAL=%23<xsl:value-of select="@fid"/>.xml</xsl:attribute>

I'm pretty sure that hijack doesn't care what drive things are on, and will search both for the files.. I know I only have one drive, but I can still access everything off of drive1..

Thanks! I was wondering what I messed up.

Here's a new version with that fix, and I also added image maps for the fascia buttons & knob.

I got this error when navigating to one of my playlists:

An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://192.168.0.5/drive0/fids/aee1?.xml'. Line 5456, Position 17

I dunno what this means...

If you post the XML that was outputted (view source) and the XSL document, someone might be able to figure it out.

Do you mean a redirecting index page that takes you directly to the xsl view?

Make an index.html and place it in the web root, and use this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/drive0/fids/101?.xml">

In fact, no.

I would like to make my own index.html file and customize it.

But what code to put into for songs , playlist etc ?

I get the same on many of my playlists - looks to me like it is barfing on 8-bit characters. In my case I know i have ßüåäöÜÅÄÖ and probably have æøÆØ, as well as accented e's and i's in my tags...

Looks good. Works great!

Some thoughts/tweaks/ideas:

1. Hitting refresh causes the previous command to repeat. (Try selecting the 'pause' command from the drop-down menu. Then repeatedly hit refresh.) You might want to hit refresh to update the fascia display. Is there a solution for this?

2. How about an auto-update of the fascia display? Say once every 15 secs? Not too much to hammer on the network, but enough to see what's up on the empeg. User settable time?

3. There are separate play and pause commands, but they are really a single 'play/pause' command that undoes whatever the play or pause state is. If you want absolute play and pause, you can use serial commands, a la (in html):

<A href="http://empeg/dev/null?serial=%20"> <img alt="Play" border="0" src="icons/play.png"> </A>
<A href="http://empeg/dev/null?serial=W"> <img alt="Pause" border="0" src="icons/pause.png"> </A>

While we're at it, how about:

"http://empeg/dev/null?button=right"
"http://empeg/dev/null?button=left"

for Next track and Previous track...


4. On wide screens, the fascia shoots way off to the right of the screen, while everything else remains at the left. Maybe some limit would keep the design together...

Thanks for the feedback.

Hitting refresh causes the previous command to repeat.

I'm not sure if there is a solution for this. If there is a better way to pass the commands someone please let me know.

How about an auto-update of the fascia display?

Good idea! Implemented...

There are separate play and pause commands

The command list was stolen from empegTray (Thanks John). I updated most of the comamnds with their symbolic names. I didn't know about the serial commands for play/pause, so if any other better command alternatives exist, let me know!

Maybe some limit would keep the design together

My understanding is if you hard code the table width, it won't resize at all. Is there a way to tell it "auto size until width is n pixels?"

I'd really like to see a Yahoo style navigation bar for the playlists. Although I don't believe this is possible with the current xml/hijack. This is what I was thinking of:

Playlists / Artists / Artist Name / Album

Navigation links like this would allow you to go back n level of playlists with a single click. Any comments on what it would take to do this?

Ok, I think this will be my last version for a little bit. How many people are using this?

Better image maps, new icons, cleaned up all of the code, fixed volup/voldown to work with hijack v210, alt row colors (Thanks Yang)

How does one use these files (in this case I'm trying to use CharcoalGray99's zip file) on the player?

With Hijack 210, I placed the XSL file in the root directory of the player, and created an IMAGES subfolder and placed all the image files there.

When I open the root http://empeg or http://empeg/drive0/fids/101?.html files, it's just the same old stuff. When I click on the XSL, I get a PARTIAL implementation of what I expect to see, but it doesn't have the playlists and it's garbled. It looks like this:



I think it's neat how I can get the working screen display in the upper-right, though, without installing the remote-control app. But what else did I do wrong?

I think I may have found what I did wrong. But now there is another problem related to the escaping-out-of-non-ASCII-chars.

I realized I have to connect to:
http://empeg/drive0/fids/101?.xml

And that should work. However, I now get:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An Invalid character was found in text content. Line 116, Position 17
<title>Brocel?de</title>
----------------^

This is because one of the playlists has a high-ascii character. The playlist is named:

Brocelïande

Note the double-dot over the i. That's what it choked on.
