BUTTON CHANGES - REPORT PROBLEMS HERE

[dropandhop]

Mmmm,

Great...thanks for the feedback!

I can't imagine how huge of a task it is to do every plugin seperatly.  It's a bummer, because I am sure there are plenty folks out there that aren't updating to newer builds b/c the buttons don't work properly yet.  

So I was tryna think of a way that we could help break up this work load a little more.  Maybe we could create a page on the wiki dedicated to this process.  It could at least keep track of the progress on each of the plugin button updates.  And maybe we could do a call out to all the original plugin coders, and ask them if they could make some of the updates themselves.  Just some ideas to get the ball rolling.

Let me know what you think about this and if you have any ideas to get this going.

Thanks yet again for your great work!

Thanks Mmm for continuing with the conversion. There are still quite a few misbehaving buttons in certain situations, but it usually happens when I am on the move and by the time I am back at the computer I have forgotten about them. One thing I can remember though is:

- assume you are in the dir browser, a few levels down the tree, and you scroll the display with play+right and then play+left. When you reach the original position again and keep holding play+left it will go up in the tree until it reaches the root.

... there are plenty folks out there that aren't updating to newer builds b/c the buttons don't work properly yet.

Seems a bit of a selfish attitude? Testing and reporting problems is a good way a non-programmer can contribute to the project and speed up the process.

Maybe we could create a page on the wiki dedicated to this process.  It could at least keep track of the progress on each of the plugin button updates.

I think guidelines would be good or at least an example conversion of a single plugin. From the existing Wiki page I gather there are still a few unresolved problems with regards to plugins. (for example - do they create their own contexts? How is this handled?).

thanks mmmm

plugin havnt been converted, and most probably wont be for some time for a few reasons, mainly because there are so many, but also because a proper way to do it has not been figured out yet.

It seems there's leftover button defines in gwps.h a minor thing but hey why not complain when you can

This should be sorted now... please test...

i put this in because it was requested earlier in the thread...

I've fixed it so that when you are scrolling left the scrolling stops at the end. if you want to get back to the root you must then release the key and the re-apply the key...so JDGordon, your functionality is still there, I've just got rid of the bug!

[dropandhop]

Anyone else think that making a wiki page like roolku and I talked about would be helpful to get the plugins converted?

Any other ideas?

Thanks!

Mmmmm: ah ok,

dropandhop: your more than welcome to... but like i said, there are code considerations that need to be figured out first befoee plugins get done...
If there are plugins which use the standard menu and list which dont work, list them and they can be fixed.

Hi, the controls for the radio on x5 seem to be messed up (9/25 build).  Can't scan, and hitting right on the joystick doesnt work at all (can only go left).  Also I've noticed that "key on" and "key record" seem to be inverted in doom if that's relevant or anyone cares.

Try it now...

Another couple for you!

When using the virtual keyboard on the H1x0 remote, when you press right on the record toggle switch (in order to move the cursor up and down), it also deletes the currently entered letter as if you had pressed the record switch in.  Pressing it left moves the cursor without deleting as it should.

When loading a long playlist such that you get the loading splash, the splash says to press OFF to quit loading the playlist.  I assume off means stop (which you hold to turn off), but when you press it nothing happens, therefore it is impossible to quit loading a playlist.

You mean the Source button right? It seems to be fine for me.... anyone else having problems with this?

This too... I inserted my root directory and pressed stop afer about 300 tracks and it stopped inserting and started playing the playlist so far!

Whats going on?   wierd...

Yep, it moves the cursor but also deletes characters, although not every time, just most.  I've checked in the IO screen and the value changes from FF to 68 (with no exceptions, it does this reliably)

The thing with the playlist isn't inserting, it's loading an already existing playlist.

This is with build 060926 - 1300.  I'll try with brand new when I get home.

OK, I've just tried with the current CVS build (2006-09-27 15:24 on the site) and reset settings, and the problem with the remote virtual keyboard is still there.

The problem with the loading of playlist I can't try again, as my massive playlist (7,000) items is now loading instantly rather than taking ages - it was the cancelling the loading not the creating that I couldn't do before.  This must have been a weird glitch, as it was on a new install on a brand new disk (I broke my last one and had to replace it), so never mind.
