Re: [Android-tesla-devel] SSH and DBUS variables

[Sean H. <sea...@go...>]

Hello Ettore,

How is your progress with Tesla?

I checked in your change to the DBUS connection script; it will be
included in the next release, so you hopefully won't need your
work-around. Thanks again for your contribution. I'm also working on
various fixes that should improve support for Ubuntu 10.10/11.04.
There were a number of changes to some of the supported players that
are causing communication problems. These will also be in the next
release.

If you are interested, I could send you a beta build to help me test
these changes? Nothing strenuous, just installing the APK on your
phone and letting me know if any issues crop up/persist when trying to
use it.

If you receive errors for only certain media players, it would be very
useful if you could describe what you see, to help when debugging.
Tesla does have a bug tracker here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/android-tesla/report/1, but emailing
android-tesla-devel list (as you have been already) is just as
welcome, whichever you prefer...


Thanks,

Sean
