	empegVNC empegVNC is a VNC server for the empeg in-car mp3 (and WAV and WMA) player. See a MPEG video screen capture (approx. 6MB) of me playing with the VNC server (version 0.4) via the Java client. (Please try not to bang away on the MPEG. It's hosted over my personal DSL line.) It includes the vestigial image wrappers that are included and no longer vestigial in versions 0.6 and later. Download: empegVNC empegVNC source also Java vncviewer source code patch to AT&T reference 3.3.3r2 VNC client. HTML to wrap VNC viewer Java applet And some screenshots. To install it, get a developer image and Hijack onto your empeg, log in to the shell, upload the empegVNC binary somewhere (via zmodem or Hijack's FTP feature), make it executable (chmod 755 empegVNC), and run it. It now automatically backgrounds itself (no need for an "&"). It no longer accepts any arguments. Once you've started it, type exit to exit the shell and the player will restart. At any point after you start the VNC server, you can connect with any VNC client. Download one from the VNC web page. From the VNC client, you can control the player using the following keys: PC Key empeg Control Up-Arrow Top Button Down-Arrow Bottom Button Left-Arrow Left Button Right-Arrow Right Button Spacebar Knob Press Shift Left-Arrow Knob Left Shift Right-Arrow Knob Right h or H Hijack/Bypass Mode Switch q or Q Exit VNC Currently, the empegVNC service requires the Hijack replacement kernel, and can now display and control the built-in Hijack features. The java viewer can be installed anywhere in the empeg's directory structure by placing the HTML wrapper and the .jar file in the same directory. Then use Hijack's builtin HTTP server to browse to the HTML file. It's no longer necessary to wrap the applet in images, as it displays the fascia on its own now. Images, originated by mandiola, stolen directly from Drakino's empeg status page. TODO: Remove Hijack requirement (maybe) Make fascia display optional Add a way to send generic commands Allow for magnification of the display (for now, your client might support client-side magnification) Decrease the network usage by using a different encoding method Add support for rotating the knob more than one click at a time via the mouse Add an easy install procedure Add a way to start the server without logging into the shell Reduce the size required for the fascia bitmap Allow for colored display (whee!)
