[xwax-devel] Deck Protection und Played Tracks for 0.9-beta4

[Robert F. <ro...@de...>]

hi,

just wanted to let you know that my boys sighter and jva ported yves'
patches to the current beta along with some of their own modifications
like a box displaying the rpm and deck protection status.

check out their git repo at:
http://sighter.ath.cx/cgit/cgit.cgi/xwaxed/?h=played_tracks

to compile from source do:
git clone git://sighter.ath.cx/xwaxed.git
cd xwaxed
git checkout played_tracks
./configure --enable-alsa       # optionally oss/jack
make

if you dislike the new colorscheme, apply this patch before compiling
to get back to the original theme:

feedback and bug reports welcome.

@Mark: i know you don't like how the 'played tracks'-feature works.
neither do i and i don't think it should make its way into the current
source of xwax. however, at the moment it's the best solution we have.
but i think you should have a look at the deck protection code. we
all have been using it since we started deejaying with xwax. and it
became an essential feature simply because there's hardly a bigger
letdown than accidentally loading a track to the wrong deck when playing
in front of a crowd or on the radio. since there is a switch for it
(-dp) usage is optionally.

best,


robert
