If you use the ←↕→ buttons (also AHK) you actually can scroll thru the library, but you can not select an album when a folder is blue highlighted, there should be an "enter" button to select album, somehow This is missing I found out that only doubleclick work on a selected album, but of course the mouse pointer must be there. See my long reply with suggestions for Peter

Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Girder script
|
on: March 16, 2010, 08:51:53 pm
|
PS: If there are any users of girder, i'll post the script, but note that uses some customized buttons (both in IRTrans config and in the Harmony - a normal remote would be too much limited), that i did to lessen my headaches, and that it controls also Console.jp. All the process took in excess of 7 hours, split in 3 days.

I'll analyze the commands that are too hard to make or that dont work and then i'll make a post under here.
OK, so what is needed is the following: 1) Prev button to work - not sure why, but it doesnt. 2) Library. Here is needed the most work. In the application, an easy way to switch between the treeview (explorer) and the album gallery. Moreover, the mouse should follow the selection - that is the ONLY way to make an album selection work with a remote. Unlilke Roy, I managed to make it work - but only for the few albums that are already in the gallery window. The process was kind of overcomplex (focus to xxhe, focus to the gallery sub-window, mouse coordinates to about the center of the first album, rightclick, left-click. Then to navigate, the standard mediacenter arrows do work, but i had to tell the mouse to jump about 85 pixels). And here another problem: 2b) The gallery does not work 100% of the times, I mean jumping from an album to the other using the arrows. Sometimes it just skip one, jumping to the other. This is bad, it f*cks the mouse completely. And no mouse, no doubleclick, no doubleclick no playback. 2c) Also some easy way (hotkey?) to select the scrollbar in the library. 3) Playlist. Easier way to use the scrollbar. I'm not using it. I doubleclick on the location of the first track and from there the simulated keyboard arrows work just fine. So far, my PC is 90% usable with my harmony only. Girder gets a thumbs up. Worth the 30€. PS: When you have changed the font size and go back to smaller fonts, the scrollbars stay BIG and ugly (they dont reset with the reset button you put)

Do you mean you can do Alt-p (Previous track) at Unattended and that works ? I can't imagine that ... Or ?
No, that it doesnt work at attended I'll analyze the commands that are too hard to make or that dont work and then i'll make a post under here. I also have a couple more of suggestions to improve the UI.

And Telstar,
Your system should have a latency of 7-14us (just xx playing) range, with a max of 200us sometimes. Even when my system is at full load, it never exceeds the 300us range.
This is with a 9800gtx videocard in there full aero etc,
Try that "high performance" setting !
It is console with my soundcard drivers that causes these spikes. I cannot solve the issue (tried everything together with the pretty good infrasonic support). I have always around 55 without that. I of course have setup the power option the way i wanted them (which is custom, not high power btw).

There are many bugged things in windows e/o girder. I dont know, windows maximize just stopped working and that made my day. Scrolling on the scrollbars causes even more bugs that i think i gave up on that. Jumping from tree to the gallery can be as cumbersome as well.
I think we need Peter's help in providing the means (names and commands) for the remote scripting to work nicely. Otherwise is just a big headache.

Success! Using the hotkeys it works.
All but Previous (ALT+p) - it either works only in UNATTENDED (opposite of what it's written), or i'm clueless. Since, it's not something i do often, for the moment i give up.

Remote works with Console (included the damn confirmation closing popup window).
I'm still puzzled about the play/pause/stop commands of XXHE, but I'm a stubborn guy... (hoping a little help from Peter, when he's done fixing bugs of his own :D)

This is in the ahk XX script to call play. ControlClick, &Play, XXHighEnd,, Left, , ,Studio return
hmmm

Foreword: -note that i'm in attended and my goal is also to scroll the library (rip to gallery? ) and select albums -I'll check autohotkey as well, but for now i'm playing with Girder. -I'm using girder 4.052, if it's worth it i'll buy the latest version (and if Peter makes a script for it that can be downloaded :D) I like the "command capture", but I'm having issues with the buttons, namely play, stop and pause (i think because they send command to xxengine3.exe). When i try to learn the commands, let's say play, this is what girder registers (picture 1). I tried to make a macro and do all of them but it still doesnt work. Theoretically the last one should work (and it does also alone, when i registered the command the first time). The command works only for the instance of xxhe that i have open at the moment. If i close xxhe and open it again, then the above commands do not work anymore. I'll try to look into the autohotkey script that you (Peter) made for clues

Ultimate Audio Playback / Your thoughts about the Sound Quality / Re: 09-y8
|
on: March 11, 2010, 01:49:38 pm

I finally did some quiet listening of y-8. I found out that KS/adaptive mode with Q1=1 and buffers 1024 sounds the best that my system ever has. 1024 latency is the minimum for me to not hear distorion or "too many buffer errors". While with Q1=4 i could go as low as 256, the above combination sounds BETTER, more foot-tapping. I lowered Q1 after looking at Peter last signature I generally agree with him about what sounds best. I have to say that the new PSU could be somewhat related to this, but I surely am not putting back the old psu Will experiment comparing adaptive to special mode with the above settings.
