.04a working flawlessly on my mini. Returns from sleep playing where it left off at the same volume level...great!

Keep up the good work!

>.04a seems to stick after playing a song on the now playing screen. It shows the next title but just sits there. I press the pause button and it starts playing and still shows the pause button. This is on a Mac Mini

Edit: Ok it's not sticking consistantly. Only did it two times on the way home from work (45 min drive) and then started working fine. It was even switching between diferent bit rates ok. I don't know what was causing it?

I changed the controler object, forgot to change a few other things... will be fixed in a jiffy.

Still the same loading problem, then the app quits. Loads songs very quickly, loads albums quite a bit slower, then the app quits and I get the message offering to send the bug report to Apple. Log attached.

Well this is actually a good sign. We are making progress, there is a clear stack of failure this time, and its pointing to a strange mp3 frame. So in order to track down the culprit file, download this release. Its kinda a debug release just for you.

Before you launch the program open up /Applications/Utilies/Console.app, the debug statement is going to spit out every file that its trying to read for artwork. The last line before the crash should be the bad file. Try removing that file from iTunes.

If it works after you have removed any files that it dies on, please send me one of the files, benjamins@ccarproject.net. It would really help the debugging process. HA its not file sharing, its research and development on a collection of bytes. :P

Debug: http://www.ccarproject.net/ccar_debug_for_bug.tar.gz

Please let me know as soon as possible. I want to work the bug out of that framework. I just have no idea where its puking.

BenjaminS · 05-13-2005, 10:38 PM

Nightly Build: .05a
Build Date: Friday, May 13 2005
Build Url: http://www.ccarproject.net/ccar.05a.tar.gz

This should fix various bugs, did way to much today and just did not doc them well.

If you find any bugs(i am sure you will) please use the ticket system so that I can track them better.

https://opensvn.csie.org/traccgi/CCa....cgi/newticket

Just asign them to BenjaminS, i am currently the only developer.

It doesn't appear to be in iTunes. Looks like it's missing a framework for CoreAudioKit. Here's the result:

dyld: /Users/tberry/Desktop/CCarProject.app/Contents/MacOS/CCarProject can't open library: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreAudioKit.framework/Versions/A/CoreAudioKit (No such file or directory, errno = 2)

First, it looks great. I am pleased that you are working so hard on this, and are so open to suggestions.

I have not spent too much time messing with it, but is it me, or is there not a STOP button. It appears that the PLAY button turns to PAUSE, but is there a way to stop the music? (besides the pause)

BenjaminS · 05-13-2005, 11:28 PM

Sorry about that debug release, I was messing with a tiger framework and forgot to remove it before the build. I also updated the nightly build, and svn repository.

A stop button, wow... haha. Good point, going to have to squeeze that in somewhere, any suggestions?

Ha, anyone want to redesign that controller bar, 800x100 size, go crazy :P

BenjaminS · 05-13-2005, 11:50 PM

Well we got bug byte up and running, but i still don't want to call that ticket quits until other people confirm that .05a actually works. There was also another ticket from Delivery_Guy, i think I got that one too in this release, so let me know if i can close those two tickets or not.

Thanks BenjaminS for being on top of this app:-) I've been watching from the sidelines and very pleased with your progress and customer service:-)

Hi Benjamin,

I can't open or unpack your ccar.05a.tar.gz file on my Powerbook.

/edit/
Problem solved:
The file, downloaded here: https://opensvn.csie.org/traccgi/CCa...wser/releases/ works fine

------
You have added the NOW PLAYING button. Great. But: When i start a song from a playlist it shows the next three songs on the list. Thats fine. But when i start browsing other lists, and go back to NOW PLAYING it has changed te next three songs. And i didn't want that to happen.
Is there a possibility of starting a playlist or album, instead of the seperate songs?

raceer · 05-14-2005, 03:35 AM

Looks like the files are incomplete..perhaps during download..

BenjaminS · 05-14-2005, 09:53 AM

sorry about that, those 1am builds when your falling over sleeping never seem to work out well :P, The best place to get the source is ussually the svn repository, which you pointed out. I will try to be more careful in the future :P

jsut updated it the link should work... silly programmers

Ok what happens is when you select another playlist/ablum/artist etc it says hey we changed play lists so update the details page to reflect this. I relize this is not the best behavior at the moment. So i am probably going to change that so it will only update the details page when you click on a song in a playlist/album/etc...

Does that work?
