Leap Pad Manager

[Deak Phreak]

I have not messed with tablets for quite a while now. I assume the platinum is another model? I'd have to have one handy to do some debugging with and connect my cable for shell access.

Deak, yes Platinum is their new top model.
I'm guessing the movie player maybe the problem.
I have an old Leapster Explorer that runs the same software as the Pads but it uses an older movie player (IIRC the screen is a lower resolution than the Leap Pad 2). I purchased a movie from the Leap Store, which auto added the correct movie player. I can now add custom movies to it.

Ya its there newest. I stole a USB-TTL from one of my Arduino builds, so I'm going to try loading it up and looking to see if any directories have changed. The video player installed by manager seems to overwrite the one that was on there. The purchased videos play up in the corner at like half resolution now, maybe I'm building the custom video wrong ? because purchased content shows up in manager but manager content doesn't show up on the desktop.

I have DotPeek so I'm going to browse your code for the current directories manager uses, then once i get the ftp open compare.

Reading what snipa said about the market installing the video player, maybe ill uninstall the once that comes with manager let there market install its own and then try again.

There is an option with Deak's manager to prevent it from installing the Video Player. Ensure you tick/unstick that before connecting your device to prevent it from auto installing the LeapPad 2 player. Then connect your LeapPad to the internet/Leapfrog Connect to remove all custom videos and try again.
I expect the Platinum would have a better resolution than the LeapPad 2 so that might be the reasoning for the small video, too.
We can check screen resolutions and create new videos with the correct figures from fffmpeg command line.

[snipa]

Just thought, videos not on the desktop. Have you disabled WiFi? If not custom videos will be removed.

[Deak Phreak]

Yea my app will auto install the video player because if you are going to be installing custom items, you can't connect it to the net or it will wipe them so my app installs the player for you so you don't have to connect to get it. This is only for the supported LeapPad versions though and has not been tested with anything besides the LP1, LP2, Ultra and maybe LP3, cant remember.

If there is another video manager for the Platinum, i'd have to code it in to check if that is the version of the device and install the correct video player for that system. Also I'd have to look at one of the official video apps to see if they have any additional flags set for the new device.

I cant convert any videos at all I keep getting this?

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

Any ideas??

The program is basically not finding the output of the converter that it is looking for. Maybe the latest version has different output so its not finding the text it is after to track the process of the conversion. See if you can get an older version of FFMPEG to try

Thanks Deak

I also had the issue with the .net exception but as you said it was the version of FFMPEG.

I downloaded an older version

http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/s...-static.7z

(picked at random to be honest) and it now works. No crash and the video has started conversion.

Absolute wicked app - thank you. Why Leapfrog dont let us just drop any media on it - awful decision on their part.

Well, if we could put our own media on it easily, we wouldn't be buying their videos of Wallace and Gromit et al from their App Store!
