class vfd::setcustomchar displaying character name
Last modified: 2008-12-18 11:55:03 UTC
Since upgrading to the graphic display module there has been a problem with any plugin that uses custom characters including but not limited to the Snow.pm screensaver. Instead of getting the character set up by the call, the name is displayed instead. (A happy face symbol defined as 'happy' will instead display .happy on the squeezebox). Problem has occured on all nightlies from 8/3 to 8/5... erased and reinstalled software, problem remains. Graphics for integrated functions (volume, etc) work fine. PIII 1.2g x2 1.5gb RAM Windows XP SP1 Using Windows build but also have ActivePerl installed for troubleshooting SqueezeboxG firmware v31
Tested further - duplicated problem with SoftSqueeze 1.0 on Windows (8/8 nightly) and with my Squeezebox with SlimServer 5.3b1 on SUSE Linux 9.1.
custom characters don't work on the graphics display. yet.
Moving bugs that won't be immediately fixed in 6.1 release. Please review and update if this is an error or if this bug has already been fixed. Thanks.
This is no longer relevant is it not?
No longer relavent - custom characters are now supported on graphics displayed, but the plugin will need to explicitly define graphics custom character for graphics displays as per the 6.5 docs.
as all cases of this problem are now long gone. marking as fixed.
This bug appears to have been fixed in the latest release! If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look. Make sure to include the version number of the software you are seeing the error with.
