WizMac v0.7 and 280 firmware - New issue?

Vatoe · Post by **Vatoe** » Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:02

Can any other fellow Mac users let me know if they are still able to connect to the Wizzy with the latest WizMac (v0.7) and Wizzy (280) firmware? I had previous nil problems, but now with the latest firmware installed WizMac 'stalls' on retrieving file list. I used to be able to retrieve the file list in about 1-2 seconds, now I can't even do that?

There have been some changes I believe in the index.txt file and Peter had to update utils to deal with that, so that might be why.

The structure of the names inside the index.txt file have changed, but fetching index.txt should take no longer. I can't think of anything in the changes to index.txt that would break getWizPnP. The changes I made to it were to take advantage of new information encoded in what I had been treating as simple strings up to .261. This allowed me to do folder selection and sorting by name. I don't know why WizMac would have problems, but I've never looked closely at the code. If Eric (efry) doesn't respond here, try PMing him.

I have problems too, using WizMac v0.7 on OS X 10.4.11 (PPC), connecting to a P1 running firmware 280. It hangs for a while at "Retrieving file list. (58/61)", then crashes.

Hmmm! Just tried mine which was previously working fine. It starts retrieving file list, gets to 42/45 and then crashes.

Hi Guys,

I've found the issue. There was a slight change to the index file format in this firmware release which adds directory support.

This is currently causing wizmac to crash.

I've got a fix for the problem but I'm in the middle of changing computers so my files are all over the place. I'll try to commit it to openwiz and make a new release either tonight or over the weekend.

If you're in a super hurry to get it working and can compile from source then just add the following if statement

Code: Select all

			if(range.location == NSNotFound) //skip directories
				continue;

after the line

Code: Select all

			range = [line rangeOfCharacterFromSet: [NSCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString: @"|"]];

in WizIndex.m

This will filter out the new directories in the listing.

Regards,
Eric

Thanks Eric. No great hurry - I'm happy to wait until you get around to it. Well done!

Ditto here. While your at it, add that delete file function

Eric, feel free to look at the code for that in getWizPnP.

Hi Guys,

I've released wizmac v0.8 which should fix this issue. It also displays directories.

Delete support isn't in yet but it is on my todo list.

Regards,
Eric
