This evening we had a bug blatt at empeg towers. I promised a bottle of rather good wine to the developer who blatted the most evil bug, but it's hard to judge such a thing. Therefore I am throwing it open to the BBS - please vote for your favourite bug fix of the day!

This is a new poll - I missed out the RDS AF fix from my first attempt! Please vote again if you already voted in the first one.



Voting will end at 9am GMT on Friday 17th January 2003.

Thanks!

I sure hope this one already died a horrible death, just like my player did when I stupidly left the time setting in "clock" mode?

I didn't even know about most of those I will have to go try them before the next release

To clarify, these are the bugs we fixed tonight. There are 38 bug fixes in v2.00-rc1 which will be announced real soon now.

Rob

Woot!

Seriously, the only bug that bothers me is the one I mentioned in the other thread and apparently has been heretofore unknown. Well, that and the crashes from running the clock.

It is great that you've fixed all these bugs. Nice job to the team.

Ok, since you are polling I have voted for the bug I guess took the most work hours to fix.

I recon the forum should collectively figure out how to collaboratively buy you guys an Indian takeaway for your next bug-blatt/feature-creep evening (to encourage you all to do this more often!).

Who added the previous visual button? He deserves the wine!

In fact it is a button code, which you can map to a physical button or stalk controller with Hijack. Mark Lord requested this feature, but I'm not saying who implemented what until after the poll

RDS AF should scan and re-tune in the background

I wonder if the timing of this fix is connected in any way to PCAs impending tuner kit readiness?

Patrick doesn't have that much influence - he hasn't bought anyone pizza in ages!

I just wanted to drop a hearty THANK YOU to you guys for once again going the extra mile and working on a discontinued product for all us blokes (i KNOW you are just doing it because you use the players too....=).

Best Purchase Ever. PERIOD.

WOW! Thanks for taking the time to work on the empeg software, especially since SB keeps you guys so busy!

hey, i'm voting for the USB/XP bug, even though i don't use either. i'm tired of seeing those posts in the Bug Reports forum!

oh, and by the way, you guys rock!

Even though I never have a problem with my empegs (a true testament to the quality of this product) I'd like to say thankyou for all effort you're putting in for 2.0rc1. Just have to unpack all my boxes of crud to find a null modem cable now!

Just a tuner and then my life is complete!

Ooo, you should wait for 3.0 then...

Hugo

i dance for you.

Aw, don't taunt me like that

I sure hope this one already died a horrible death, just like my player did when I stupidly left the time setting in "clock" mode?

Yes, it's fixed, as I mentioned in the other thread about it over in Technical. But because I fixed it last week it isn't eligible for a bottle of wine.

Hmm, I'm seeing a bit of a "Ralph Nader effect" here. Because there are more choices on the player side, the player vote is being split up.

Wow, 83 votes. That has to be a record for this BBS. I smell fraud!

Woop! Woop! I don't know anything about wine, so I can't even really send you one without possibly sending you something nasty....

I wouldn't worry about it! We all got plenty of pizza anyway.

So who spent their time sitting at the end of the runway at Stansted making sure all the RDS AF stuff works well in the presence of large radar signals then...

We haven't yet. The alpha team can do that

Great, more delays!

(tongue planted firmly in cheek)

So if the bug fixed by the winner of the bottle of wine turns out to not be fixed, will his prize be revoked, and, if so, will reverse peristalsis be involved?

Empeg Mk3 or emplode v 3?

The only thing that bugs me (although it's not really a bug) is that it sometimes takes the player a few seconds before it actually starts playing a track. This happens especially when skipping tracks, but also frequently enough during normal play. This problem was introduced with the 2.x version of the software, so I believe (hope) it's fixable.

This started happening to me after I installed my 2nd HDD. I was so certain that the skip-track delay was due to the additional drive spinup time that I've never bothered searching the Faq for confirmation but I'm sure I saw references to this problem here before.
