 Re: Jukebox Fixes and Modifications [Revised 26/05/12] If only we had the source code - and could then write a skin changer routine, and correct a few other problems as well.
Still it may be a Telnet session is needed, at least at first

Re: Jukebox Fixes and Modifications [Revised 26/05/12] Yes, I'm pretty sure if we had the source, even with an average level in C or C++ (that's the language used for Yamj implementation) we could solve some left issues.
For the skins, it may be possible to add an option that allow different themes in rss (system.rss for ex) but only with a reboot as I said earlier. You can create and write a file with writeStringToFile with the name of the theme.
In rcS, grep the file or whatever, and depending of the word found, copy the corresponding files. No need of Telnet.
This is only theory (just looked quickly at the files implied, there's the popup too... ) but I think it's possible.
Is it worth it, though?

Re: Jukebox Fixes and Modifications [Revised 26/05/12] You have a point pfff - it may be possible, but is it worth it?
Lets see what happens over the next few weeks - maybe it may become worth it, maybe not

Re: Jukebox Fixes and Modifications [Revised 26/05/12] I hope you don't get me wrong Andy, all my complaints(or hypothetical insults) are directed to Acryan. You've done a good job and all your efforts are surely very appreciated by a lot of users. Maybe Acryan's staff will scratch their head and implement some of these great improvements and the other issues like slowness or +1000 files limit (yeah it's not forbidden to dream yet  ).

Re: Jukebox Fixes and Modifications [Revised 26/05/12] Thanks pfff - it's certainly been a bit of fun working on it. I know AC Ryan have seen what we are doing, I hope they use it  If only they would fix all of the major faults with the firmware then the players really would be very good Andy

Re: Jukebox Fixes and Modifications [Revised 26/05/12] I'll leave any skin swap implementation to you guys.... I'm happy with just running a script at the moment.

Re: Jukebox Fixes and Modifications [Revised 26/05/12] I'll get right ticked off if they use it all without any acknowledgement and I think you should be also. Yeah, if they put the rest of the stuff in the public domain, I'm sure all the problems could be resolved. I actually think their players are pretty good and I've had about 50 different players over the years to compare them with. AndyA wrote: Thanks pfff - it's certainly been a bit of fun working on it.

Re: Jukebox Fixes and Modifications [Revised 26/05/12] If you are on windows you can create a simple VB script to telnet in and make a change. Just save the following into a "SkinSwap.js" file changing the telnet address to your device. Code: var Shell=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
Shell.Run("telnet ???.???.???.???");
WScript.Sleep(100);
Shell.SendKeys("USERNAME");
Shell.SendKeys("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(100);
Shell.SendKeys("PASSWORD");
Shell.SendKeys("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(100);
*** REPEAT COMMANDS AS NEEDED ***
Shell.SendKeys("exit");
Shell.SendKeys("{ENTER}");
Then just repeat the commands that you would type in blocks like this: Code: Shell.SendKeys("cd someDirectory");
Shell.SendKeys("{ENTER}");
WScript.Sleep(100);

Re: Jukebox Fixes and Modifications [Revised 26/05/12] Under Win 7, the telnet client needs to be enabled first as it is disabled by default.

I have optware installed and using cron the background changes every 12 minutes. Created a cgi script to change the background through a web page. The best way I think is to change via the remote control and the PostList.rss. Intercepting keys 1 -5 and calling a cgi script. Something like this else if ("one" == userInput){ <script> <link>http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/chbg.cgi</link> </script> } The problem of course this directory is read only, but can we implement this command into the rss file.
