okfw-support — Support questions

[<st...@us...>]

Hi!

I was just wondering why anybody would subscribe to this list at the 
current state of the project. Are you looking for development news or 
are you using the player (and if so why?!)?

I am interested in feedback if anybody have tried the player on other 
models than the DP-558. I am of-course interested in any feedback from 
users of the player, but I want to know if it runs on the DP-50x models!?

I have added shoutcast support (to the new player) and fixed some minor 
bugs since the 0.0.1 version was released, but I will only "release" the 
new version on demand.

Kind regards,
Stig Petter

PS: I added a little development update to the project page on SF 
(http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=459403):

    I have just added a more structured source tree for OKFW. The
    current version has a modularized io and player library. It supports
    local files and ShoutCast streams (PcLink support to be added soon).
    I am rewriting parts of Minigui (3rdparty/libminigui) to support the
    palette with alpha values used for the OSD. I am also modifying
    other parts of minigui to better suite my needs with basic skinning.

    Cool stuff: The version checked into CVS support displaying
    cover-art if that is part of the ID3 tag information.

More details:

1) I am working on Minigui at the moment (skinning and palette support). 
The basic input and graphics driver (if you can call it that) is in 
place and working. Next step is to add support for the overlay (or 
back-picture). The code example for how this is done can be found in 
screen.c.
2) The main information is located in realmagic.h (The CVS repository 
actually contains data, even with the (0 commits, 0 adds)  statistics on 
the project page (SF is working on a fix for the statistics, so don't be 
fooled!). A lot of new information has been added since the release 
(with some links to actual datasheets for some of the chips inside!)
3) Tremor is the next decoder to be added (Fixed-point vorbis).
4) Will start looking at video playback once I have finished the initial 
minigui fixes.
