Well, it seems to work from within the player; So the protocol handler code itself is broken? It's be wrong to teach jEmplode to read the stuff out, change the array, and write it back. Right?

Which array? You mean read the raw dynamic data partition out and then write it back? I believe jEmplode actually does read the raw partition, but the Empeg protocol specified that writes happen one at a time on the fid|0xf files. It's certainly conceivable that I could write the entire partition back, but I don't know if I have direct write access to it without hijack help (I believe if you try to write back to the dynamic data FID, it says "no problem" and then ignores you).

No it doesn't. The "ignore as child" setting goes in the *1 file.

Nope. It's in dynamic data.

Okay, I found a couple of playlists that I want a persistent sort on. The Artist ones were straightforward (alphabetically by artist - I use artist to store the sort-order version, surname first), but my Essential Singles collection, which I keep in reverse chronological order, had me stumped. How do I set a persistent sort that's not in the "natural" direction for the key?

Er, yes. Forget my comment then. It was probably a one-off, as it's working now.

Yeah, the "reverse" flags is hardcoded to true right now ... Only because those need to be set together, but right now the sort tag = tag name, so some things assume they can just take the value and lookup the NodeTag for it. I just didn't get a chance to fix it so it's like "tagname,direction" and the couple of places that directly use that tag. It's on the list that will probably make the next build. I started to do it for 69 actually, but i cut it because 69 had some big fixes that i wanted to get out quicker.

Something Derrick's just said has given me an idea for a feature request. Can we have a "Clear All Marked Flags" button?

Yeah, I was considering just writing a tool to do it. It should be be writing a block of zeroes at a fixed offset...

DynamicData isn't just "marked" by the way .. it has playcount, lastplayed, and some other stuff in there. Check out (IIRC) dyndata.h (dyndata*.h) in emptool.

Ok, so the tool would just be a little different. I guess I really should get back to work on scratchlib.

I back up the entire dynamic data slice before I mess with it. I also have a backup of genixia's slice, since we used his player to AutoEQ in my car. I still haven't extracted settings, because I keep saying I'm going to finish scratchlib. Of course, this week my wife has been taking the car anyway, so...

Is there a way to transfer that data from one empeg to another (for AutoEQ)?

it's a block of data in the dynamic slice, I could probably work up a shell script that calls dd and ftp for you, since I doubt I will finish scratchlib soon

Mike, are you planning to include some way of allowing us to have secondary, tertiary etc. sub-sorts for our soups/playlists for the next release? Just making sure the sorting algorithm is stable (maybe have an option to use the old algorithm) would be great.
It would make the new sort layers for soups much more powerful if we could, say, add multiple sort layers for each sub-sort. If the sorting algorithm was stable I think this would naturally happen.
The reason I would like this feature is because when I create genre soups I like to have each genre soup playlist sorted by artist-year-album-track# so that I still have the ability to unshuffle around an album when playing a shuffled genre playlist.
Thanks,
Ross

I actually haven't been able to really work on the next version yet, so there's nothing in particular lined up, but this one is definitely on the list and would be a likely candidate.

Not sure how much work it would be, but I'd like to request a small feature upgrade for jEmplode70...When drilling down to the dialog box for each song labeled "Tune" (the one that has fields for Title, Artist, Album, Genre, Year, Track #, PIN, and comments), would it be possible to add a field at the bottom next to Ok and Cancel called "Next" that would go to the next tune in the list? There's been quite a few times where that would have been quite handy to have...
Oh well, just my $.02....Thanks, Randy

Sounds cool. I'd like the abililty to go to the next tune with something like Enter or Ctrl+enter, so that if I'm tagging a group of tunes, I can change them in order. Your NEXT button could be mapped to a keystroke like that. Combined with Mike's "Tony Selection" feature which handles the selection of the song title when the box is opened, it could make complete album edits very quickly.

I'm probably going to be MIA from jEmplode development for a little while until I get into the groove w/ my new job, so I wouldn't keep your hopes up for a 70 release in the next few weeks ... Consider the bug noted, though.

Is it just me or does sorting not work at all in 69? If I try to set Tag Name to Sort On to 'tracknr' in the main Options dialog the setting isn't saved. If I try to do it in properties for the individual playlist it is saved, but doesn't work. The sorting seems to be completely random. The only thing that does seem to work is alpha sorting.
Maybe it is just that I don't understand the sort changes in version 69, but none of the sort options that I can find seem to work for me.

I seem to have the same problem. Sorting doesn't work. If I hit the sort button more than once, I get a different order every time.
Also, it's filling in some Playlist fields as "Various" when I don't see any reason for it to be doing so.

Minor bug for when you get back into JE dev:
"Tony-select" seems to be always on when creating a new playlist, regardless of my configure preference. IOW, if I create a new playlist, I get asked for its name, but if I've already selected some text to enter, it gets usurped by the dialog changing the selection to "New Playlist".

BTW, is it right that I now have a bunch of *f files in my fids directories? I thought *f were supposed to be virtual files, and never saved to disk. I'm sure that earlier versions didn't do this.
IIRC, the *F files are intercepted by the empeg protocol endpoint on the player and redirected to the dynamic data area.
I don't think that Hijack's FTP server knows what to do with them.
I think that JEmplode is sending them regardless of the underlying connection method.
OK, as a regular jemplode 69 user, does this mean I can safely delete all 3000+ *f files in my fids directory? And will jemplode 69 just recreate them again willy-nilly! ;-)

Yes (he said without actually trying it), and yes. If they really bug you turn off the "Use Hijack when possible" checkbox in the options and then jEmplode should use the empeg's native protocol for transfer which will put new *f files where they belong (won't do anything about the existing ones though). That will slow down your new music uploads a bit.
