Hijack v371 will be out shortly. The only change of note is that for v3alpha software, it now uses half the usual default spindown timeout, to better compensate for the lack of spindown in the v3 software itself.

In the course of implementing this trivial change, I added some #defines for the known player binary sizes (Mk2+Mk2a only). As it turns out, each new version has always been larger than the previous, and so Hijack can use the byte sizes themselves as "relative version numbers" for comparisms in the code. Well, almost -- v2final is actually slightly smaller than v2rc3, but since the latter is not likely to be found these days, no biggie there.'

EDIT: oops.. there was a big drop in size at v2b8, as well.

Here are the sizes I've found:

#define MK2_PLAYER_v102 1091472
#define MK2_PLAYER_v103 1120144
#define MK2_PLAYER_v2b3 1637404

Slick... thanks guys....

Thanks, peter! (and the rest of the gang)

Here's one on the wishlist for next time around: the "PrevVisual" virtual buttoncode (0x0020df18) has not yet been ported over from v2final. For now I'm just using the corresponding Sony Stalk code in place of this, except that the stalk code doesn't work in tuner mode.

So.. when the opportunity presents itself.. please port forward the "PrevVisual" buttoncode.

Thanks
