Works here also, on X5000. Nice piece of software. Looking forward to airprint's development for easier, more consistent printing.

@sinisrus

Thanks, that did the trick.

@BillE

I disabled network startup and Zita and rebooted, but it's still complaining. Thanks for the idea.

@Hypex

This is after a fresh reboot.

I've tried both Amiupdate and the file from OS4Depot.

Paul

I know I've done this update in the past. But when I tried to run the update to 5.9, it keeps complaining that something is running which is using AmiSSL. I thought it was ZitaFTP, so I shut that down. But it still won't let me run the auto install. I can't think of any other "online" apps running. What else should I look for?

Paul

@AmigaOldskooler,

Thanks! I always enjoy looking through your monthly reports.

Paul

@ktadd

I received that same warning from Comcast, but when I used their test email link with Simplemail, it came back saying everything was OK. Are you up to date with AmiSSL?

On another note with Simplemail, do you or others get an ISI after collecting new emails from an imap account? It doesn't happen all the time, but maybe 80% of the time, and I have to reboot, after which Simplemail functions normally again.

Oddly enough, my RX550 shows up on the Workbench header and in Sysmon as a Polaris 12.

You're right, .pls only. It doesn't give an option for m3u.

My next step is to try putting both on a stick and and see what will work in our car.

That rings a bell from several years ago with some different sound files. I might try that.

In the meantime, I tried creating the m3u in Windows Media Player by dragging in the entire directory for Blind Faith, rather than the individual track files. Voila! Working m3u created for use on the Amiga now!

Thanks for your reply.

Paul

I have a new vinyl record turntable with USB output and am trying the slow process of digitizing a lot of recordings. I've worked out the recording process in Windows using Audacity, and used windows media player to create an M3u playlist to use the recordings in AmigaAMP.

The following m3u for Steppenwolf came from an ADripper project done on the Amiga a long time ago, and works fine in AmigaAMP.

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:557,Steppenwolf - Monster_Suicide_America
Steppenwolf - Monster_Suicide_America.mp3
#EXTINF:202,Steppenwolf - Draft Resister
Steppenwolf - Draft Resister.mp3
#EXTINF:326,Steppenwolf - Power Play
Steppenwolf - Power Play.mp3
#EXTINF:173,Steppenwolf - Move Over
Steppenwolf - Move Over.mp3
#EXTINF:193,Steppenwolf - Fag
Steppenwolf - Fag.mp3
#EXTINF:203,Steppenwolf - What Would You Do
Steppenwolf - What Would You Do.mp3
#EXTINF:328,Steppenwolf - From Here to There Eventually
Steppenwolf - From Here to There Eventually.mp3

The next M3U was originally created last night in Windows Media Player, and had a hard-coded path listing for each song, as it appeared on the hard drive of the Windows computer. I modified the following M3U to take out the file path references and to look more like the Steppenwolf M3U which works in AmigaAMP.

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0,Can't Find My Way Home
Blind Faith - Can't Find My Way Home.mp3
#EXTINF:0,Do What You Like
Blind Faith - Do What You Like.mp3
#EXTINF:0,Had to Cry Today
Blind Faith - Had to Cry Today.mp3
#EXTINF:0,Presence of the Lord
Blind Faith - Presence of the Lord.mp3
#EXTINF:0,Sea of Joy
Blind Faith - Sea of Joy.mp3
#EXTINF:0,Well All Right
Blind Faith - Well All Right.mp3

The Blind Faith lists the titles for me in AmigaAMP, but says it can't play the MP3 files. The only difference I can see between the two lisings is the "random" numbers for each file in the Steppenwolf listing, versus the "0" appearing in each Blind Faith listing.

So what do I need to change in the Blind Faith M3U? What do those seemingly random numbers in the Steppenwolf listing stand for? I want to be able to put this music onto USB drives for use in the car, as well as transferring them to my Amiga.

@ Daniel: (Trixie) I'm completely new to audio software, and from what I can tell, Rave isn't yet ready to do such copying from vinyl to digital. Is this going to be doable in Rave eventually?

Paul

@elfpipe

Cool! Congratulations!

Paul

@Futaura

Wow! That was fast. Thank you. Zita is working again.

Paul

@all: thanks you for your responses. Now I know it shouldn't be an issue for my email usage. I found an input error (my fault) in the configuration file for simplemail. I've now been able to send messages again.

@Hans: I have v.0.45 of Simplemail here. Lookiing on Sourceforge, I was surprised to see how old this is!
Thanks for your other links here also. Now I know why Zita stopped working for me. I was rummaging through my router settings trying to open ports to get it working again. Now I'll just wait for a new AmiSSL.

Paul

I just received this message from Comcast/Xfinity:
Quote:

I'm currently unable to send (SMTP server) messages via Simplemail.I have all of the settings in Simplemail set just as Comcast lists the requirements.

Is it because our TLS (SSL?) is too old?

Paul

@K-L

Thanks, that little irritant is now gone.

Now that I have retired, I'm spending more time with my Amiga. I had completely forgotten about WBStartup.

Paul

I'm sure it's my fault for not paying attention close enough when I did the Enhancer 2.2 update. This never happened before.

But now every boot up brings Candi up on top of my normal backdrop. I can shut it off in Exchange or Exchanger. But trying to "Save" the settings in either of thos commodities doesn't survive a reboot. And it's kind of a pain every tiime I reboot.

I've checked every startup sequence in "S", but Candi isn't mentioned in any of them.

Anyone have the fix for this? Thanks

Paul

@sailor

THe A1 board received it's "fix" from Kurt Grach in New York, USA. Before that it was factory stock. I'm not sure what Kurt did to the board, but if there's a way you could track him down, he might be able to tell you what the changes were supposed to accomplish.

@rjd324

Just to rule out a faulty card: I have a Sapphire RX550 with 4 GB, and using the HDMI connector in my 5000, which works fine. Is yours a different brand/model? Up until your post, I had not heard of any 550 NOT working.

Paul

@rjd324

I have a Catweasel MK2 "flipper" that worked in a PCI slot in my A1-XE. I still have the Teac floppy drive that goes with it, too. Let me know if you're interested.
