Software Discussion / MPXT

Last post by frank - December 10, 2004, 09:30:28 AM

Hi,

I'm just looking into building my own mp3 player, but haven't started yet,
and I have some questions about MPXT.

It's a frontend for Mpxplay:  why?
What does it do or add to mpxplay?
I can't run mpxplay by itself?

What type/size lcd displays does it support?
serial/lpt?  20x2, 20x4, 40x4?  hd4448, hd4478?

I see here and on Matthias' page you linked to,
that you both install windows, either 95 or 98.
Why?  Can't I get by with just dos6.22?
or does it need the dos7 from win?
or something else from win?  
or some other reason?

I see the links here and on Matthias' page about dos networking and lfn,
so I think that answers a couple other questions I would have had.

Thanks

Need more DOS memory?
Then try this configuration. Looks strange but works perfect with 624 K available DOS memory:

Config.sys:
DOS=HIGH
DEVICEHIGH=C:DoSHimem.sys  
DEVICEHIGH=C:DoSEMM386.EXE NOEMS NOVCPI HIGHSCAN
FILESHIGH=22
BUFFERSHIGH=13,0
STACKSHIGH=0,0

FCBSHIGH=4,0
LASTDRIVEHIGH=R
DOS=UMB

autoexec.bat:
@ECHO ON
SET PATH=C:Dos;
LH c:DosSMARTDRV.EXE 4096 /X
REM RAM Disk is loading
LH C:DosXMSDSK.EXE 524 R: /Y
COPY C:COMMAND.COM R:
SET COMSPEC=R:COMMAND.COM

Just wondering if anyone was using Dev-Cpp /MinGW / GCC under windows to compile any MpxPlay /MPXT related programs as I am use to the front end.

Matthias,

I'm still here.  Just took a little break from MPXT.  I'll get back to it sometime in the next week or two.

Brent,

maybe rename UseInMPXPlay to USEIRinMPXPlay.

But after changing that the last issue has gone.

When I switch to mpxplay IR works fine, when I go back to mpxt it doesn´t work anymore. Restarting mpxt doesn´t change it - mpxt with no IR support, but mpxplay works fine. After rebooting the PC IR support in mpxt works again...

Have a nice weekend

Matthias

I´ll keep an eye one the runtime error.
