Installing the PocketPC application: Copy the CAB and INF files onto the PocketPC (doesn't really matter where). You can then use Pocket Explorer to install it. I can't remember if its the CAB or the INF file you need to select but it should then ask for permission to install the package. It won't create any shortcuts but it should have installed the application to \Program Files\PocketSqueeze and you can use Pocket Explorer to run it. Setting up the PocketPC registry settings: PocketSqueeze uses some registry entries to tell it where to find the database and how to contact the server. I used CeRegEditor to set these up. You just make sure you have ActiveSync running and connected to your PocketPC and then run CeRegEditor on your desktop and you can then modify the PocketPC registry. The screenshot shows the keys that you need to create. Setting up the database: The easiest way to start is to just use the complete sample database. I normally put it in \CF Card\PocketSqueeze. Note that the server IP address (192.168.1.5 in my case) is automatically appended to the path specified in the registry when PocketSqueeze looks for the database. Also note that you should use the server IP address and not hostname because PocketPC doesn't seem to do WINS hostname lookup. Obviously this database won't match your music collection but if you get it to display lists of artists, albums, etc. then you're most of the way there. You can then use the database tool to create your own database. You will need to combine the result with the images directory of the sample database. Running the database tool: I forgot to mention that you need the MySQL connector to run the database tool. If it all works as it should then you should end up with a pocketsqueeze.db and an artwork directory. You can download a browser for SQLite to check that the information in the database looks okay. Final notes: I'm not sure how it will behave if you are using the builtin Various Artists feature. I have renamed it to something like "KJHGFHGKFDHK" in my SlimServer configuration to effectively disable it. Everything is controlled using the direction pad and center button at the moment. I'm planning to add screen tapping soon. I will be needing quite a lot of button images at some point so please let me know if you can help. -- shawkie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shawkie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3751 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44558 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
