Argon (SMS-based player with XMB GUI)

[ps2ibm]

- Listen audio while watch photo
- Show MP3 information on screen (title, singer, album, genre)
- if a folder has "argon_icon.jpg" inside, change the default icon for this folder..
- and if has "argon_bg.jpg" than change the background image!

Stop... for now...

@user112

we need a plan of some sort, and both get on the same page

so first i suggest we each make a list of things that need to be accomplished in order to do have some essential features

so i'll start

the features that i feel we need for the next release
1. hdd support
2. smb support
3. play music from all media
4. radio works 100% (read: fixing the issue with some playlist)
5. weather works 100% (had some display errors most likely due to corrupt http packets)
6. photos works from all media

and a list of things that we need to do in order to have these features work
1. test hdd/smb with music/photos/etc.
2. test radio and fix it
3. test weather

addition things that need to be done
1. re organize classes...not sure how you want to go about this, i know you want that CSettings class, but as for the other one's i'm pretty lost

so just let me know what features/things we need to do for next release that you think need to happen



these are my thoughts about the project

it's a bunch of bricks tied together with thread, we have everything we just need to connect it all

and i like your heavily object oriented approach

@<__>:
I've aready said what HDD icon looks like. And network is just some meaningless boxes and circles.
The original icons have such style that even your grandma can tell - that must mean music, etc...

No need to thank me...I think I'll leave the job to someone else.

@ps2ibm:

All we need for the next release is finishing CUnity (former CGenIO), namely mounting/unmounting.

And that's how it should work:
- all file/folder access goes through CUnity,
- partitions are threated like folders,
- all mounting is handled by CUnity and it's transparent to other functions.

The paths should be like that:
mass:/folder/file.ext
smb:/share/folder/file.ext or smb:+share/folder/file.ext
hdd0:+partition/folder/file.ext
cdfs:/folder/file.ext

> hdd support
Depends on CUnity

> smb support
Depends on CUnity

> play music from all media
> photos works from all media
Depends on CUnity, should work otherwise

> radio works 100&#37;
That requires a fully featured HTTP header/content parser, so leave that until the next release.

> weather works 100%
It works, check SMS Bugs thread.

> re organize classes...
Nah, don't even think about starting that now, or there won't be a release for the next 3 months. That should be taken care of when everything else is finished.

> i added mp3 id3 tags but its in unreleased version
I highly doubt anything but the track length. Can explain why if you want. Extracting the album art would have been nice, but libid3tag doesn't support that...

+ Fixing playback controls, so it doesn't crash when pause is accidentally pressed during radio playback, etc.

Do you understand all that makefile crap?
I've started hitting the relocation truncated to fit error.
Is there any way to instruct it to use EE_CFLAGS := -G8192 for some files and -G0 for other.

@vsub:
Managed to get it working?

No I try everything but it freeze as soon as I see the screen with PS2 Browser and other icons.What exactrly I must do?
Before I try with v0.3.3 but then the program not start at all
This (v0.3.7) freeze as soon as I see the first screen

The SMS Player works perfect without any problem but I want to see what this program can offer

[user112]

@vsub:
Can you at least tell me where are you trying to launch it from, do you have your PS2 network connected and what is in Argon.xml under music, movies and photos? And how it's freezing but not completely.

Am not really sure about this but "And how it's freezing but not completely" I just cant to anything.I try it to run it form my USB and from MC,on bouth palces it freeze.But maybe the problem is becouse I dont have Network Adapter and HDD I just wanted to see how it works for AVI's and MP3 becouse it's based on SMS Player and I was thinking I wont need them(Network Adapter and HDD) here too like on SMS Player

"and what is in Argon.xml under music, movies and photos?"
So I need to create a forders or what,I cant find any readme so I dont know what to do

[user112]

@vsub:
You have to create mc0:/sys-conf/ipconfig.dat file, you can use either SMS or uLaunchELF for that.
And add smth. to Argon.elf - <folder>mass:</folder> or cdfs:
And use 0.3.3 or 0.3.5
