Hello list,
I've been trying to test out libkarma before I upload the packages to
Debian, and I seem to have come to a stumbling block (or three).
Firstly, when I tried to use it with Amarok (1.4.4) out of the box, it
didn't work very well. I managed to get it to read the catalog of tunes
on my Karma, but when I tried to play any of them, it didn't work. When
I tried to add a track from the Karma to the play list what it would do
is:
1) add a specific track (the first one listed in .openrio/*/fileinfo,
I later determined) regardless of which one I actually tried to add
2) report a bogusly long playing time for that track
3) didn't play anything when I tried to play the list
After trying many times, including downloading the latest code from
subversion, I gave up on that and decided to go to a lower layer.
When I tried to use riocp, I ran into no end of problems until I
eventually discovered that it needed a file called device_settings to
exist on the Karma itself. Is this documented somewhere that I missed?
It's definitely going into the README.Debian and manpage...
After I sorted that out, helped by the create_device-settings script in
the tools/ directory, I managed to issue a successful query with riocp.
However, subsequent queries did not work -- although adding the -b
option made it work again (much slower though). Eventually, I unplugged
the Karma and it wasn't happy...
After using a paperclip to reset it, turning it on gave me the
"rebuilding database" message. This helped me get a handle on the
problem which I narrowed down to riocp somehow corrupting the database
on the Karma. For example, if I use the -w option the query executes
without a problem and subsequent queries work properly. However, if I
leave it out it gets messed up and I get the message "error writing
smalldb file". See the attached log for complete details.
So, where do I go from here? I feel like I'm so close, yet so far...
