So, you guys say that this file contains the audio and movie player (Japanese version) of the UX50 that can be installed on NX devices (60, 70V, 73V, 80V) by copying it from MS to RAM?

Anybody tried yet? What`s the improvement? Can we use the new app (Pocket Tunes Deluxe) that plays Ogg Vorbis then? Would be cool.

cykalan
08-17-2003, 02:24 AM
Andy you can try that yourself now, the link's is 2 posts up. the improvement is being that there's native Multi-VFS support now and you don't need to hack the App anymore for CF MP3 playback.
Same apply for Movie Player.

hm...cause you need the OS5 Audio API....
I am not sure but it may not be possible to do that in the NX cause that's an OS thing....

u may try to ask the other UX guys to help you and see if they can dig out any more files for audio support. :)

Well, I tried the MoviePlayer in my NZ90 and it reads and play both movies from MS and CF. Works great and you can even set thumbnails for movies in CF. You can keep MoviePlayer in Launcher directory to save RAM. As for AudioPlayer, it needs to be in RAM and it can see and play mp3s from CF after a soft reset. I use AudioSwap to switch playlist at the moment.

(Not by me of course, I'm no expert in this.)

Oh, & I tried the AudioLibrary.prc & right after that, my NX70 goes into infinite soft-resets, & can't get it to work, aside from the AudioPlayer, MoviePlayer works perfectly! Least got that working.

Oh, I have CliePet's 3-bit patch with my NX70

Eddy
08-17-2003, 09:54 AM
I just got things working with both AudioPlayer & MoviePlayer on my NX70 with 3-bit Patch! :eek:

I only installed the AudioPlayer.prc & didn't install the AudioLibrary.prc & things were working smoothly. (Though I do notice some bugs here and there.) But just a special thanks to Jackho :p

I tried the Jap version of Movie Player on my European Clie (english) and it still worked great, i could watch my movies off CF card without taking out the MS!!

Only prob is cuz its a European OS, i get lotsa strange characters instead of Japenese text :(

Oh well, someone plz post the Eng version :D:D:D

Okay, so I have to spend more money because someone decides to zip something a different way. For years Zip was the defacto standard since the DOS days. If you download to your PDA what do you use?? Is there an rar for the Clie? Everyone has Zip, why make it difficult?

cykalan

don't get too excited Larry. :p
everyone got their own preference :)

and WinRAR is a shareware too and actually you don't need to register after 40 days....it will just keep nagging you....:p
And, RAR really do better compressions too...i usually prefer RAR over ZIP when I have to do massive packaging...;)

Even if it is old realese, it always work very well.

If you want, write to me your e-mail address and i send to you files with Zip compression

I don't understand something. Since the UX has a new special chip to handle movies etc, and NX doesn't, how this piece of software runs on NX?

Eddy
08-19-2003, 01:01 PM
well, why wouldn't it run? With the files installed on the NX/NZs it'll only allows you an extra option to choose between different volumes of storage, but I would say that it might be rather difficult if a user tries to play the 30fps ImageConverter files which the new UX supports. (Just my limited knowledge, I'm not an expert :p)
I guess to a certain extent the new chip has an impact, just that these files would still work on the NX/NZs. :)

trayip
08-19-2003, 01:22 PM
So, once the english version comes out, what would be the steps taken to get this to work on the NX70..AND what's the advantage of this than the normal audioplayer/movieplayer?

Matt

Eddy
08-19-2003, 02:10 PM
what's the advantage of this than the normal audioplayer/movieplayer?
Just an additional function allowing you to select playback from either your MS or CF, without physically removing them, & you can insert MS/CF in any order you like, without the hassle of always following the procedure of inserting the CF 1st inorder for the CLIE to read from the CF. ;)
MoviePlayer, you can directly read from both cards at the same time, just a single click within MoviePlayer & you can switch from reading the MS to CF. :p
AudioPlayer also allows you to select from playback with the CompactFlash or MemoryStick. ;)

The above steps might not be that big of a change, but surely makes things alot more user friendly. (And you can also avoid the ware & tear from endless re-insertion of both the MS & CF, especially after a soft-reset.) :D

I tried to install both apps, and when i did it got an error message saying that the file was read-only.

Now i can't start the audio player, just tells me that an error ocurred, and exits the app.

Created a file named audioplayer.pdb in the palm, that i can't erase with the "Delete" from the clie launcher, or the clie files, tells me the file is read only.

My palm is a NX80v, what can i do? Should i hard-reset it?

jfer_rs :

As the file is read-only, you will need to download and install a program for your Clie called 'Filez'. Go to www.palmgear.com (http://www.palmgear.com) and search for Filez and download it.

Hotsync this program to you Clie. (i would recommend that you keep this on your Clie all the time as it is a very good app)

Open up Filez on your Clie, it works very simialr to Clie Files, just select PalmCard at the top, then press 'View and Edit Files'. The file manager should come up, similar to that of Clie Files, just find the audioplayer file and select it, then press 'Details'. Go to the 'Attributes' tab and uncheck Read-Only. Press save and you should now be able to delete the file.

Hope this helps

I wonder about two things:

1. As far as I know, UX-50 only has one expansion card slot - MS. So why would the software from it support CF?

2. If the software from UX-50 works with CF, does that mean that Sony has decided to officially support CF media for everything you can use the MS for? If this is the case, can we expect a Flash ROM patch for NX series that would allow to use CF with all applications that used to only work with the MS?

Yea....would Movie Rec work then? Cause now it can only save to the MS...could it save to the CF....that would rock. AND can pictures save to the CF from the Video Capture?..

The UX50 needs to support 2 VFS volume because Sony added that 29Mb of internal memory for multi-media use. This 29Mb was confirmed earlier to be actually just a VFS volume. This along with the obligatory MemoryStick slot meant the UX50 had to support multi-VFS.

the reason behind could be, a smart software developer will usually not prefer directly accessing components that will change frequently (the decoding method it is for this time) in the core part of the program (audioplayer.prc that is), instead they will try to create libraries for the constantly changing part of the program, and let the libraries (Audio Library.prc probably in that case) handle all the dirty stuff and then feed the SAME output to the core part of the program (Audio player.prc). That way you can avoid modifying the core part of the program everytime there's some slight hardware change.! All you need to do is just to modify a few lines of codes in the libraries..! :)

Using Pelaca's patched driver on an nx70 (US Version). I copied the AudioPlayer and the Movie player into RAM. Whenever I open up the AudioPlayer, it will not show any MP3s from the CF card. I choose what I think is the CF card from the upper right corner, but it still will not display. Movieplayer shows the files, but pops up with some illegible error. I have also run the MSPro update.
I was able to get Pelaca's hacked audioplayer to work before by swapping the cards.. Any ideas?

tprime76
08-20-2003, 09:36 AM
Forget it.. I'm an idiot. Because I initially couldn't remove Pelaca's audioplayer I did a hard reset. When I put the patched driver back on, I forgot to put the MSPro update first. This started a whole mess. Did another hard reset and reinstalled MSPro patch, pelacas driver, and pelacas audioplayer to get back to scratch. Everything worked.

I then found out that JackFlash can delete an audioplayer in RAM, so I deleted Pelacas Audioplayer and installed the UX version and it worked.

These apps will only work with the hacked version of the NX73/80 CF driver. Pelaca is hosting them, but I don't have the URL handy. You can find it in his thread on CF drivers with Data Import.

Okay, I just want some clarification. These programs work fine with the NX73/NX80 with no "hacks"...am I correct? They work fine on my NX80... The people who have to use "hacked" drivers of any sort are the ones with the NX70 or NX60?

Also...does anyone use hacked drivers (Eruware/pelaca) on their NX80/73?

Thanks

LOL, My panties are always in a bunch! :D

It seems that only the Asian perimeter has to use something different. Here in the People's Republic of New Jersey we use ZIP files, not to be confused with the X-Files. My point was, if your going to offer something to the world, put it in a format that I think everyone has. Even my lil ole Clie has unzip capabilites, no LHZ, RAR, or a thousand other types, just plain good old fashioned ZIP. Even the Japanese web sites use ZIP, at least the ones that I have used, Bable-Fish and all!:D

I hope you all have a sense of humor...

I just had a moment of paranoia and thought I would pursue my train of thought just a little. It seems to be clearly evident from other issues that have taken place here at ClieSource, that Sony does keep an eye on these forums. Is it possible or probable that they will make software changes to the English UX versions to make this "hack" more difficult.

I assume that at this point in the game; it is probably a little too difficult for them to try to do this. But, I wondered if someone with a little more product release knowledge might have an opinion.

The amount of lead time required to release a product prevents what you're suggesting.

However, the more prescient observation is that Sony tracks and coming and goings on this forum and will slowly, over time, become sharper at preventing "migration" of apps from one model to the other. This may mean that eventually Sony's apps in a CLIE will be "locked" to the specific models that they were originally released for. I can see that happening, especially if these migration hinders sales/acceptance of new models.

i dont think so - what do they care or why does it bothwer them that a nx70 uses an nx80 - the big difference is the hardware, the style. softwarewise sony is always running behind its hardware department.
The nr70v was a good example - great new screen resolution - apps not supporting new screen.

and with the nx70 we see the same - no cf support etc...

Maybe if sony got their collective heads out of their arses they would realize that had the NX60/70s come with all of the capabilities (that subsequent efforts of various people have given it to date )right out of the box, it would have been THE pda juggernaut we had all hoped it to be when the spoilers crept out. Instead they flood the market with uber-diversified productlines that dilute the target markets to the point of confusion. Make a few products very well and let them sell themselves through their incredible scope of usability. Case in point: the NZ-90 is an $800 doorstop when compared to the NX-80. It was a stepping stone in the line we could have done without.

It's just corporate stupidity and a complete lack of connectivity to the consumer.

Want me to buy 1Gb memsticks? Sell them at a price point nearing other formats.

Want me to buy your accessories as opposed to aftermarket? Release them in conjuntion with the device itself.

Want me to upgrade every 6 months? Offer a trade-in program of some sort.

I don't get it sometimes. Am I the only one who sees how completely jacked up their policies have become?

What? Oh, I'm shouting?...

Sorry, all. Left my rant box turned on... later.

The amount of lead time required to release a product prevents what you're suggesting.

However, the more prescient observation is that Sony tracks and coming and goings on this forum and will slowly, over time, become sharper at preventing "migration" of apps from one model to the other. This may mean that eventually Sony's apps in a CLIE will be "locked" to the specific models that they were originally released for. I can see that happening, especially if these migration hinders sales/acceptance of new models.

Hey, I don't disagree with you there. But unfortunately, most company (including Sony) are driven by a far more shorter term schedule. They're looking for shorter term noise and pizazz. Their shardholder demand this for each and every quarter.

Heck, we can move onto after-sale support... Why does Sony not support their CLIE better after someone buys one? We all know that the difference between the various NX is quite small once you discount the software difference. Wouldn't we all be happier if Sony provided a OS upgrade for the NX70 that brings it up to parity with, say, the UX50. But no, Sony uses the software in addition to the hardware to distinguish/move their new product.

I have tried it on my NX70, and the movie player worked FLAWLESSLY!! of course it is all Japannese ;-)

Anyway, I didn't get the AudioPlayer to work, it crashed my NX70 so bad I have to do a hard reset. Of couse I am using the EruWare CF drivers.

Anyway, with the new MoviePlayer, I'm now able to save movies onto both my MS & CF. As for Mp3s .. I'll still have to leave them in the CF.

Hopefully the English version of the MoviePlayer and AudioPlayer is out soon. Btw, The Movieplayer version is 1.1.

=====================================
Sorry, the above movieplayer only worked in MS, on the CF it prompted some error. Does anyone got it to work with the Eruware drivers?

any word about if these patches enable the nx to use os5 sound mp3 players...?

Yeah yeah yeah .. it would be cool if we had the option of using other MP3 players ....

Does anyone knows where I can get the Peleca drivers? I'm new and I've only managed to get the EruWare drivers working, but I would like to use both the CF and the MS to store movie and MP3. Any help would be great .. thanks.

Jojo801,

Has anyone tried to experiment running UX version of MovieRec, VoiceRec and Clie Camera on NX? Let's see if it can record to both MS and CF.

That's what I've been waiting for too.:) The Recording functions.
As for now, it seems that things are still acceptable since the recordings goes to MS which is fine for me. But would be nice to have an extra function to enable direct recording to the CF instead of the MS. :D
