QOrbiter: Updated

[golgoj4]

Although this not the best test bed, I'm using an N900 with Nitdroid, so far it works up until you press GO, some text scrolls under the connection settings and ends with "Couldnt Save Config!". I believe this might just be an issue with my setup. I tried changing DCEROUTER to an IP and I confirmed the correct Device ID.
Cheers.

hmm interesting. Does it have an sdcard?

for android, i try to read and write from /MNT/SDCard

HTC Desire Z
android 2.3.3.

Installed it, when I try to get into it in landscape I see the config screen with buttons, but it is aligned on the left and squashed. e.g. text is too big, and the screens are to small
e.g. 192.168.80.1 is massive, and the block it is in too small. My fingers cannot press it, so I do not know if touchscreen doesn't work or my fingers too big/or input box too small.

Apparently this is a know bug, and golgoj5 is working on it to fix. It is because the splash screen is pre-packeged. The solution would be to make it relative.
No need for ticket.

yes bongo is correct. i was originally designing for a 480 by 320 screen. fixes incoming it of course would be the one ui element thats part of the binary.

Create a new QOrbiter device as a child of the core. MAKE SURE to set the default user and location. Make a note of the device number

How do you do this? I know you can add qOrbiter from the Webadmin Orbiter page, at the bottom, but that creates the device as a parent. Once created I can see the template number (2186) but that gives the error "ERROR: the device template does not exist or invalid controlled via" when I try to add it as a child to the core.

Let me know if there's any other functions you want me to test.

Maybe Bongo question, but....
How do we get updates, just install the APK again?

is your system up to date?

Also, what version of lmce are you running?


As far as bongo's question yes you will need to re-install for the moment when i update the apk

now off for my weekly swtor with friends!

OK- just an updated.  I pulled down the latest svn (changeset 25456) and have great success on the HP Touchpad.  Whereas before I had force the app to close to be able to get it to restart,  now, it starts nearly 90% of the time on the 1st try.  The other 10% i get stuck at a black screen and have to click a button to get back to the home screen.

Here's the audio page:

Not so good with my samsung galaxy s2.  I get the spashscreen, but then a black screen.  When I rotate the from portrait to landscape, there is a white rectangle that appears.  I would guess that rectangle is just where qorbiter isn't displaying an image.  What's really odd, is on the 1st go at qorbiter after the update, the main UI appeared as expected, sort of.  I was surprised not to see the phone UI and instead the desktop UI on my phone.

FWIW

Im still hot on the case of the media grid problem. Thanks to sambucca, ive gotten some insight into how i need to approach it on this device plus im finding some underlying faults in my code that were not readily apparent in a desktop build for whatever reason.

golgoj4,

I am trying to get a dev environment for this up and running, however there seem to be some recent updates to the qOrbiter class that haven't been committed to svn yet. Specifically on Saturday there was an update to orbitermanager that references a function registerDevice() in qOrbiter but there isn't any such function defined in the current qOrbiter class.

There are also a few signal and slot callbacks that aren't in the qOrbiter class that are referenced in the initial Q::Connect functions.

Let me know if this is just because the updates haven't been committed yet or if I am missing something else...

They have been committed. Apologies but there is a bug in qt creator where it doesnt catch all the files that need to be submitted. Its been committed now though. Let me know if you have any questions!

Dianemo's database is completely out of our control, and different from the LinuxMCE database. As our database is open, Dianemo is free to recreate the settings in their database if they feel like it.

This will be so cool! Can't wait to get my hands on it:)

Can you disable effects? First thing my GF will ask is to turn off the spinning icons...

It's important to note, that the skin that golgoj4 is working on, is purely just so he can implement functionality and test it. It's up to someone else to make a good looking default skin for it.
