Disklavier

I made a bunch of progress last night.  Search is fully implemented, and works great (and FAST).  Of course, my database is tiny compared to some of yours, so I'll have to get some feedback from those of you who try it.

I did expect the USB and FLOPPY tables to exist in the database even when they weren't mounted...but that turned out not to be the case.  So, tonight I have to work on some code to understand when those are mounted and when they aren't.

I have no plans to support the copying of files between the sources, especially the protected ones.  

Release this weekend (as an alpha version) is looking quite likely.

            Kevin,


It is scenario no. 3 below that describes how my Mark IV is connected.


Again, thanks for working on this and I look forward to ultimately trying out your work when you are ready to release it.

Well, one of things everyone will need to understand is the requirements for using it...so no harm in leaving it in this thread for now.

I still think we have some confusion over what you are seeing on wireless.  So, let me try again.

Scenario #1) You have a wireless card on your computer, you have nothing connected to your DKV's ethernet port.

In this scenario, your wireless card might tell you that there is a wireless access point out there, and you can hop on it, but there is nothing to be found.  And, you have no access whatsoever to the To/From PC folder.

Scenario #2) Like #1, but you have a hard wire connection to your router/switch from the DKV's ethernet port.

Like the first scenario, but now you have access to the To/From PC folder.

Scenario #3) Like #1, but you have attacted wireless hardware to the DKV's ethernet port, turning it into a wireless device.

In this situation, your wireless card has 2 choices.  One is the access point connected to the DKV's ethernet port, the other is the access point that the PDA/Tablet use.  If your wireless card attached to one, you'll see the To/From PC folder, if it attaches to the other...there' s nothing to be found.

Just to be clear, in all 3 of those cases you can use the software, just as long as you can convince your wireless card to hop onto the access point that is there for the PDA.

Your wife can certainly contact me directly.  I plan to put the searching in this weekend, and have the source code ready for release before Monday.  (although you threw in the new feature of being able to search by artist which I hadn't considered. :-)  )
