Title: XXHighEnd Model 0.9x-4 (introduces seamless Volume Change + WiFi remote)
Post by: PeterSt on March 03, 2009, 11:37:33 pm
The download is completely at the bottom of this page.

The following changes have been applied :

  • As the title says : Changes of the Digital Volume now go without interruption of playback (Engine#3).
    Quite sophisticated, hopefully not too prone to bugs, but with memory playback 100% preserved this is now possible.
    Note that the change will (and can not) be applied immediately, but may take a second to come through.

    Works Attended and Unattended just the same.

    Currently this works the same for the Invert (Absolute Phase) toggle.

    Important issue : Currently, don't use this on the last track of (a selection of) the Playlist. Or otherwise Playback will commence somewhere in the middle of the previous track. Also think of what could happen when "Format Change" is set to Allowed, and that previous track has another format !!

  • Along with the above comes an indicator at the top left of the screen, showing green when a change is pending. When the green light stops within two tenths of a second the change will be applied or have been applied.

  • Similarly the Wallpaper will show a change of color in the area as indicated in below two screen shots. Note though that at a change of track this color changes just the same.

  • At using the keyboard HotKeys the previous version (or two) could let start a track all over instead of continueing where it was. If all is right this has been solved now.

  • The Wallpaper can now show the back of the CD (tray). This will be so when a Back.xxx exists in the same folder where the file for the cover was found and with the same extension. In this case the tracks of the album will not be shown explicitly as with the virtual cover.

  • The Wallpaper will now show the Digital Volume as well as an Absolute Phase indicator (near the top in the middle of the open folded tray). At normal Phase "~" will be shown, whereas at Inverted phase an "I" will be shown.

  • When the Clear button was clicked before, the timer cursor would reset to 0 only when sound was playing. Now this happens in all occasions.

  • With Engine#1 and #2 an error could occur in ReorganizeProxy about a file being in use. Solved.

  • After a new Install an error could occur indicating that a minimum value was not allowed to be 0. The previous version already tried to solve this, where it did not. Hopefully now it does.

  • Last but not least, WiFi Remote;

    After you unzipped the download you will find a XXTCPSrv.exe in your current XX folder. If you run that, it will go to the taskbar tray and shows as a grayish XX icon. Rightclick on it, and the top option will show "Config". See the third screenshot below. Click that, and a form will show which allows you to indicate the Remote Configuration File to use.
    Note : At this moment the entered file will not be known any next time you start XXTCPSrv which is quite inconvenient. This will be better at a next version.
    The (applied) contents of the file will speak for itself, hopefully.
    When you wish to start capturing Remote Commands over WiFi, just click Start (again see the third screenshot below).
    At Exit, capturing Remote Commands will be stopped, and after that XXTCPSrv must be started again. You may create a desktop icon from the XXTCPSrv.exe in your XX folder (rightclick - Send to Desktop).

    Please keep in mind this is a first version of this and many enhancements will be possible, including more tasks to be remotely performed.

    Edit : Important : Currently the portnumber to use on the PC where XXTCPSrv will run is fixed (forgot to make it settable :fool:); As long as this lasts, anyone needing the port number can send me a PM about it. Please don't ask further questions by PM, and when you have questions ask them on the forum instead.

    Edit 2 : The zip in this link solves that : WiFi Remote (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=753.0).
