Title: XXHighEnd Model 0.9s-2 (solves bugs)
Post by: PeterSt on November 25, 2007, 07:41:54 pm
This version solves - if all is right - all the bugs or not completed features - as introduced with/for for Unattended Playback.

  • Processor Core Appointment.

    Also see The Good and the Bad ... (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=286.0)
    This time it should work for you too (and not only for me :cry:)
    Since the outlay in above link, do not triple over the Affinity just showing all cores; the 4 schemes act differently. But Scheme-1 should indeed show the Affinity appointed to one core. So you can check for it to work.

  • Various errors could showe up (could not be copied at will) at clicking Play with Unattended Playback.

    Important : The means to solve this, implied that during the process of loading the tracks, nothing can be interrupted (stopped); For normal WAVs this won't bother you, but with FLAC/MP3 the time for loading can be lengthy, and it is just that which could make you feel sorry to have pressed the buttons ... which is just the situation which can't be stopped (ok, Taskmanager). In a future version maybe (IOW, it takes too much time to make something really decent from the way it was otherwise).

  • Contrary to the above, the loading of normal WAVs at Unattended Playback is much faster now.

  • Scheme-3 showed up twice at the combobox for Processor Core Appointment Schemes. The second one now shows 4 as intended.

  • The checkbox for Unattended Playback has been moved from the Settings Area to the Playlist Area.

    As it turnes out, it comes handy when switching between Attended and Unattended is near by. So now it is.

  • Clicking Play did not work the first time after changing from Attended to Unattended.

  • Albums/Tracks loaded from the Library Area also loaded the tracks currently in !CurrentlyPlaying.PLXX.

  • Track Titles in Cue data without quotes dropped the first and last character.

  • At Unattended Playback, just clicking Play now is allowed.

    When bringing up XXHighEnd in order to select another track for playback, first clicking Stop is not necessary anymore.

  • At Unattended Playback, select a Track and press Play is allowed.

    It already was, but before Release Notes told it was not.
    Here too, now just clicking Play (without Stop) is allowed.

  • Similarly clicking Next is allowed to let the next track play as if it were Attended Playback.

    Note that with this action, as with the above, the tracks in the Playlist Area above the selected track will be removed from the current Playlist. Obviously this is not visible at the time of doing it, and what it comes to is that they are not saved in !CurrentlyPlaying.PLXX.
    Btw, all is for your own convenience, which comes down to being able to bring up XXHighEnd again, and just press Next for the next track (you'll understand at doing it).


A last note :
Just as selecting more tracks in the Playlist Area currently does not work anymore (already for a longer time), similarly this does not work for Unattended Playback. However, when attempted there, XXHighEnd will hang for a few seconds. Just that you know it ...
