Date: Wed, 5 May 2004 11:27:04 +0200 (MEST) Hi, I've done some changes to the plugin API recently, to allow a plugin to be a TSR (terminate and stay resident). It can spawn a thread, which gives it a life after it has returned control to Rockbox. And I have added some mpeg_xxx() functions for playback control. My Alpine CD changer emulation plugin is using this now, works out quite nice. Once the plugin is started, you can choose your music with the normal browser, plus control the playback from the radio. Currently, I support next/prev track, play/pause/stop, and seeking. The side effects of using Rockbox from two ends are less than I thought. The while-playing screen behaves very well, shows all the changes which were done from the radio (looks ghostly). Radio playback control also works outside of the WPS, so this is better than the normal remote. The radio is currently a bit insisting, when you stop the playback at the box, the radio will start it again as long as it is in play mode itself. My current status is here: http://joerg.hohensohn.bei.t-online.de/archos/alpine_cdc/ You need a daily build with the recent plugin API to use it. This is not the final version, I will update it more during the next days, but I already felt like sharing it and collecting feedback. I'm not in the business about other brand protocols. If "your" protocol is not single-wire, you'd need an external controller to translate. Several individuals/groups are working on such, my plugin could still serve as a template for Rockbox interfacing. I once made a proposal for a generic command set using the remote pin as halfduplex serial. Here's my old postings about the Alpine hookup in general: http://rockbox.haxx.se/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2003-11/0476.shtml http://rockbox.haxx.se/mail/archive/rockbox-archive-2004-01/0778.shtml Jörg -- NEU : GMX Internet.FreeDSL Ab sofort DSL-Tarif ohne Grundgebühr: http://www.gmx.net/dsl _______________________________________________ http://cool.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/rockboxReceived on 2004-05-05 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
