Ahh, the dangers of releasing software without much error checking...
There are a lot of debug statements in there, but they are off by default...I should have put in a command line parameter to turn them on. I'll do that in the next release. My best guess, is, as you suspect, that it is having trouble talking to the database.
If you leave the postgresql jar file in the lib directory where it is the program should fine it. Have you had any luck trying to connect to the database by any other means? Anyway, we'll see what it says when the debug statements come flying out to the console (there are LOTS of them, and since you are likely now connecting to the wireless port, you'll see the entire conversation).
I'll try to get that out tonight. If you were adventerous, you could probably do it yourself...All of the source code is in that jar file itself...and the jar file is just a zip file.

Kevin,
Thanks for the quick turnaround. We do not get the error message any
more, but it doesn't do anything. I type the name of a song in the
search box, and press Search, but nothing happens. I don't hear the
disk running on the Disklavier. I have checked and the disklavier is
responding to its remote. I think it may be something simple that we
don't understand. Do we have to do anything special with the
postgresql jar file? The DLRC is telling me that the Postgres sql
driver is not in the Classpath. I've tried googling that but have not
found anything I could understand.

Kevin,
It did not work for us. We were able to get the DLRC to
work by setting the IP to 192.168.11.15, so I guess we need a way to
configure the IP. (We could not get anything but the page 1
functionality of DLRC to work -- there were java errors on the other
pages.
The error we get from your program is "Unable to establish
wireless connection to piano>"
Thanks for your efforts.

Well,
I uploaded the alpha release.
Please try it out and let me know how it goes. This is my first ever
java app, and getting these things into a working jar file was an
experience! The uploaded rar file includes the swt.jar for windows,
with instructions for where to find it for other operating systems.
It's pretty crude at the moment, and doesn't yet support exporting the
data. There's probably lots of other things it doesn't support as
well, since I have limited experience with the piano itself. It also
has only been tested against my piano which has very little data, so I
don't know how well it behaves with HUGE databases. Okay, enough
disclaimers. ..Have fun!

I believe <remake_db/> is sent when a usb drive is
inserted or removed. There may be some attributes on there that tell
you which db, or it might be something like "Update your local cache of
the db now".
If you make a query while the software is building the table, you will
see the songs that have been added at that point in time. This
shouldn't be of much concern; it usually only takes 30 sec to add
everything to the songs table, even for large amounts of files on a
drive.
I don't think there was a column for artist. If there was, I think it
contained the same info as the title. But yes, Yamaha seems to put the
artist within the title. I believe you can set the comment on the song
and album using the PRC's keyboard. Hardly anyone would want to though
- quite a laborious task poking tiny buttons. I also seem to remember
being able to set the songs rating from 1 to 5 stars using the
PRC/TRC. Never investigated that much personally though.

Matthew,
I'm at work, so I can't check now, but does the piano send any
notification of when it has finished building the table?
I've seen <remake_db
/> come out for both the CD and the FD even though there was nothing
mounted.
Any way to query for what is already mounted?
Otherwise...
There had been a request for the ability to search by artist, but I
don't see anything explicit in the schema for artist. It looks like it
is normally stored as part of the song title (judging from the demos).
This will work fine with my current search.
The fields which might be interesting to search by are as follows:
song filename (already done)
song rating (is there any current way to give a song a rating? If not,
I wouldn't want to assume one and break a future release.)
song "your_record" (No idea what is here, maybe nothing, and no way to
set it?
song comment (is there any way to enter this currently?)
song title (already done)
song subtitle (already done)
song genre (is there any way to enter this currently?)
album rating (see song rating)
album comment (is there any way to enter this currently?)
album title (already done)
album subtitle (are these used?)
Anyway, adding others is trivial at this point. So, I'll have to
investigate what is in the database when I get home.

The tables for each media (ex. usb_album and usb_song)
are only created when that media is inserted. It takes a few seconds
for the software to create the table, so if you insert and immediately
query, you will miss results. The tables are recreated each
insertion. This is discussed more in our paper.

I made a bunch of progress last night. Search is fully
implemented, and works great (and FAST). Of course, my database is
tiny compared to some of yours, so I'll have to get some feedback from
those of you who try it.
I did expect the USB and FLOPPY tables to exist in the database even
when they weren't mounted...but that turned out not to be the case.
So, tonight I have to work on some code to understand when those are
mounted and when they aren't.
I have no plans to support the copying of files between the sources,
especially the protected ones.
Release this weekend (as an alpha version) is looking quite likely.

Kevin,
It is scenario no. 3 below that describes how my Mark
IV is connected.
Again, thanks for working on this and I look forward
to ultimately trying out your work when you are ready to release it.

Well, one of things
everyone will need to understand is the requirements for using it...so
no harm in leaving it in this thread for now.
I still think we have some confusion over what you are seeing on
wireless. So, let me try again.
Scenario #1) You have a wireless card on your computer, you have
nothing connected to your DKV's ethernet port.
In this scenario, your wireless card might tell you that there is a
wireless access point out there, and you can hop on it, but there is
nothing to be found. And, you have no access whatsoever to the To/From
PC folder.
Scenario #2) Like #1, but you have a hard wire connection to your
router/switch from the DKV's ethernet port.
Like the first scenario, but now you have access to the To/From PC
folder.
Scenario #3) Like #1, but you have attacted wireless hardware to the
DKV's ethernet port, turning it into a wireless device.
In this situation, your wireless card has 2 choices. One is the access
point connected to the DKV's ethernet port, the other is the access
point that the PDA/Tablet use. If your wireless card attached to one,
you'll see the To/From PC folder, if it attaches to the other...there'
s nothing to be found.
Just to be clear, in all 3 of those cases you can use the software,
just as long as you can convince your wireless card to hop onto the
access point that is there for the PDA.
Your wife can certainly contact me directly. I plan to put the
searching in this weekend, and have the source code ready for release
before Monday. (although you threw in the new feature of being able to
search by artist which I hadn't considered. :-) )
