WIP Build 559 is out.

New Feature:
*LED settings -See under system settings. You can now assign LED color when the following events occur: ScreenSaver, File copying, FTP Send, FTP Receive, FTP Boost, and when the system is busy doing background tasks. All LED combinations are available, even flashing.
*Added relative path with respect to the skin and root skins path. Use "../" when refering to path relative to the skin. "./" means the skins folder.

Bug fixes:
*Flicker Filter
*FTP Address limited to 20 characters.
*Free space update bug
*Default font and the file manager font should now correctly display characters 128 and above.


Known issue:
*You won't be able to update using 556 and up. Use 548 and earlier version, or whatever it was you used to get the WIP build.

Feature freeze for now.

So I guess my bug of not being able to update from 556 to 557 but was still around

led states seem to work ggod for me only tried with ftp up and down

but and I'm guessing this is how its set free space only gets updated on end of file transfer exapmle I uploaded a 900meg file and only got and updated size after it finished uploading

The FTP Browser is coming along nicely. Just for fun, I tried ftping into my account on a remote server and it logs in but I don't get a listing of the remote account. In the log, these are the last things that are logged:

SYS
215 Unix Type: L8
REST 100
502 ": command not understood
SITE BOOST SUPPORTED
502 ": command not understood
CWD /
502 ": command not understood

I still get the two windows and the transfer queue wondow but nothing on the right side. I've tried PASV on and off, and I get the same thing. Just wanted to give a headsup.

Here is the bug I was talking about with the music player. Instead of mm:ss, it shows mm:s

I dont get that problem sorry

I do have one request though
James can you please grey scale/desaturate the default audio player image because when you recolor it with the new settings you still get a lot of blue in it and it would just look better

see below

I wonder if there is a font it needs that I don't have because you also have the bitrate showing correctly.

Yeah maybe its there and just getting drawn off the visable area

WIP Build 559:
Video Mode Region switching (and autoswitching) still doesn't work with M8 based BIOS-versions. I've tested it on the same machine with different BIOS flashed, and Unleash X PAL/NTSC switching works just fine Xecuter2 4983, but EvolutionX M8 fails.
Any hope for this one?

I believe I have located the bug that isaac_24 refers to (missing last digit in mm:ss).
It occurs when the screencalibration width is 606 pixels or less.
The music player has plenty of room to expand to, so it should be fixable

Great work, James. I was worried that you wouldn't find time to improve UnleashX again, but then you surprise us once again.
The WIP releases are getting better and better, and Build 599 so far looks to be a nice release candidate for the poor non-WIP's

Expanding the screen fixed that. But of course, the calibration would be way off on my screen now. It had worked fine before though like two builds ago. Thanks [BiA]FRAGMAN.

OK,here's another snapshot of bugs(?):



These appear when choosing an MP3 in the File Manager. The Song Title appears in the top oval but not with the Song Album. If you allowed background music and bring up the Music Player, all the information is displayed correctly. The second oval is where the Song Title usually comes out too but instead is empty. Maybe because it's playing one song only.

PS Don't mind the Track time with the missing digit

No problem isaac_24

WIP Build 559 bug:
"Port" mode seems broken in FTP client. I tested against UnleashX 0.36.0620A Build 499 FTP-server, and login works, but when it comes to listing, it doesn't progress. Same problem when testing against EvoX 3935 and Avalaunch 0.47.5. PASV connections to the FTP-servers (minus EvoX - no support) works fine.

Double post -sorry

Audio Player bug:

Bring up the Audio Player in the dash, select a song and close the window and the song playing will continue playing. That's normall the way it works. Now if you select an MP3 in the file manager and close the Audio Player with B, depending on if you have random on or off, you'll get 2 different things.

If you have Random on, the song will random when you close the Audio Player. You can select another song but as soon as you close the Audio Player window, it'll do it again. Backing out of the filemanager and selecting a different song or album will random again as soon as you close the window.

If you have Random off, the last song played will play again when you close the Audio Player. Selecting another song and closing the window will play that last song again. The same thing will happen if you back out of the file manager and try to select a song there too.

I didn't go further than that. The only way to stop this behavior is to restart the XBOX (dash).

nice finding! can confirm this. hope this can be fixed soon. i think after this it`s time for a public release, as there are some really great improvements made. the last public version was back in december!

one thing i remember was, that the equilizer shows no blocks in its right corner, although the frequences are there i think (they show up in winamp with my mp3s..)

anyway, i have to say thank you to unleash for his great work again!!

Are you by any chance still recruiting new beta testers? I already send an email about it a week or so ago, I'll resend it if necesarry...

Anyway, great work on this project! If a new public release is there, it will be the best dashboard around, no doubt. For now, the ftp bugs in the public release make it fairly unusable to do file transfers.

Greetz,

i just tried to install an UXE softmod (used triggernum5 auto installer deluxe) with the new unleashx.xbe and i got an error while the install-process was running (error to unrar an rar-file. exit code was 234 i think). has this something to do with the new unleashx or is it a fault in the installer?

It's more of a change in implementation. I encountered a problem with the current cryptography, so I had to change the method. 556 and 557 is not compatible with the new update file and the older builds are only compatible with 559 and earlier. 559 employs the new method already and because of this, 559 is going to use another URI.

It's by design, so you don't hit the hardware every too often.

And about the music player, mind posting your xml so I can try it on my side? I'm pretty sure, you can replace every color there except the blue in the image itself (requires change in image file). Btw, nice going there.

Thanks for this post, this was very helpful and ultimately led me to the fix. New build should now work with those two apps. Evox is reporting the wrong port message, though, but it does work with it now. Please keep it up.

This is by design. Do you think I should let it finish playing the song when the user chose to exit or dismiss the player, then continue with the playlist? You know what? I think I might do just that.

Try opening and extracting the archive from the dash and let's see. What version was included in it, anyway?

included in the installer was the last official version, which unrars the package fine. under the filemanager i got also an error when unpacking the rar-file with the new build. i will check this again later that day. maybe you can download the "another gamesave installer 2403" from triggernum5 side and test it for yourself..

Well, it was more that even when it was random, if you change the song in the begining it would play the song and then random even after exiting closing the AP window. After selecting song in the file manager and backing out of it, this would no longer be possible. Closing the AP window in this case would random the song right away no matter where in the dash you were in. It seems to be working ok now in 560.

Here you go and yeah i'm pretty sure its because of the blue in the image. Thats why I asked you to desaturate it

and heres one I prepared earlier
