Gigabeat Hold button disables next/prev on remote

(1/2) > >>

jakko:
Build 20070507:

When the hold button is activated on de gigabeat itself, the 'next track' and 'previous track' on the remote don't function anymore.
Strange: Fast forward and backward DO function.

Anyone have experienced this?

Chronon:
I have today's build (20070510) and it works fine for me.

jakko:
Nope, the same thing.
However, when I'm pressing next/prev on the remote, the blue buttons on the side of the Gigabeat lighten up, but the same track keeps playing.
Also strange: when I'm holding the next/prev on the remote, the fast forward/backward works Ok.

Remember, this only happens when the Hold button is activated on the main unit.



Something else:
While searching for a solution for the above problem, I've made some interesting modifications to the code. Because my Gigabeat is in my pocket practically all the time (so no visible screen), I've found these changes very usefull:

1. Holding the play button on the remote can now switch the Gigabeat off
2. Low frequency beep when powering off
3. Pressing any button on the remote doesn't switch on any lights on the player
4. Pressing any button on the remote immediately works, no matter what the 'switch backlight on first keypress only'-setting says.
5. When in WPS, the remote control buttons can't activate any other menu.
6. JPEG-viewer: Changed keymapping. Vol+/- now loads next/prev file.

For me, these work perfect.
If anybody is interested, I'm happy to zip the modified files.

Chronon:
Very strange.  I updated again to fix the shutdown issue that has been discussed recently.  My player still works fine.  I switch hold on the player and the remote buttons all work properly.  I can FF/REW as well as skip to the next/prev track.  Odd.

Out of curiosity, which filed did you modify?

I'm interested, but it would be nicer to have a patch. Did you download the code with svn? Then you can just do "svn patch > jakko.patch". You then could place it in the patch tracker.
