[slinkelist] How are CDJIDs generated?

I have a Sony 300 disk changer.  I'm trying to write a simple utility that
will import an existing cd database (in MS Access) into the CDJ database.
Since the tracks and albums are only associated by the CDJID I'd like to
know how to generate the CDJID in order to add it to the database.
Let's assume I know the artist, title, tracks, minutes, seconds,
(everything).

Thanks,
    Taylor Hively

Subject: [slinkelist] Sending CDJ / Partygui to my TV

I want to run CDJ from my TV which is with my stereo, in a different room
than my PC.  I see on the Partygui site that it mentions that it looks
good on a TV.  My existing video card does not have a TV out port.  I plan
to send the signal to my TV using wireless products from X10, but need
help adding hardware to my PC for the TV out.  Can I add a card - like a
"piggyback" kind of a thing without having to buy another video card?

Any suggestions welcome.

Gregg King

Subject: [slinkelist] using hase

Hello,

I'm trying to use the HASE interface to slinkx to control CDJ, and I
can't quite figure out some syntax.

To be a little more specific, I'm writing a java app in  to send
commands via a socket to the HASE Socket Slinkx Server.  For now
atleast, I don't really plan to use vbscript, I'll put all my logic in
my java app.

I can get my java app to receive responses successfully, from either the
Socket Slinkx Server or the main HASE program, but I can't send
commands.  Using the Winsock test client, I can send SSS, for example,
"commandID sendex cdj:playlist_play" (plus a carriage return), and the
command is executed, but when I send the same string in my own code,
nothing happens.  Less important, I can't figure out how to validly send
the message to the HASE main program (using the default sample.has
vbscript).  In the latter case, I get an error message (as opposed to
being ignored).

I haven't seen anything in the log files to shed light on what I'm doing
wrong.  Any ideas?

TIA,
Marc

mount one PC to stereo rack, you get inexpensive DVD player & mp3 player and
then some...
and hook it up with your other pc via LAN.

1. asus Vxxxx cards tv out is not very good(at least PAL haven't yet tried
NTSC)
2. diamond viper 550/770(old, inexpensive both pci and AGP models) had IMHO
good tv out quality
3. matrox _should_ have "best" tv out quality (my next card WILL be matrox
G450eTV)
4. Also someone said that ATI has "good" tv out, I do not believe that, but
ATI cards are cheap so...

But it's poitless to talk about cards as 98% of PC2TV picture quality is
dictated by your tv.
VGA and TV picture are fundamentally sooooo different that there is no good
pc2tv.
If you want good picture, then you need to buy big enough monitor to watch
tv
from.
ie. pioneer 50" plasmatv (price approx 20 000USD) is "good"
