1) Oh, I *see*! That's what that's for. Okay. Thank you!
So I've made a couple of executable files which I stuck on the usb drive that contain, for example alarm_snooze contains:
echo \<event type\=\"AlarmPlayer\" value\=\"snooze\" comment\=\"\"\/\> >> /tmp/flashplayer.event ; chumbyflashplayer.x -F1
Which seems to work. Is this about the most effective way to do that?
I added /mnt/usb/bin/ to my PATH manually. Is there a .profile where I can add this more permanently?
2) I'm sorry, I really have no idea what you mean. I have the stick full of mp3's (/mnt/usb/); I have the playlist which lists them all (/mnt/usb/default.m3u). How do I play the playlist from the command line? Can you please give me an example, because I don't have any idea how to use the info at the link to do that?
I've used btplay to play an individual song, like so:
btplay /mnt/usb/Eric\ Clapton/The\ Cream\ of\ Clapton/Eric\ Clapton\ -\ The\ Cream\ of\ Clapton\ -\ 01\ -\ Cream\ %25\ I\ Feel\ Free.mp3
And btplay has options for stop playing ("btplay quit") and skip to next song in playlist ("btplay next"), and so on. But I can't actually get it to play my playlist ("btplay /mnt/usb/default.m3u").
I'd like to be able to just start it up playing everything on the list--and shuffle, although I suppose I could just work out how to shuffle the playlist if the player itself doesn't shuffle--and let it go. If this can be done, can you please give me an example of how?
I'm struggling a bit with the info available in the Wiki because, while I'm sure it is very clear to people with more experience with the Chumby/more programming experience, it's a little obscure to me. I see that the information is available, but I don't quite get how to use it. It'd be *lovely* if the various instructions contained concrete examples as well as "this is the form, this is the information, go to it."
Thank you!
