install SSA on phatbox switched to kenwood keg
« on: May 11, 2007, 04:30:31 pm »
hello, i have a VW phatbox switched in kenwood keg.
i saw (other post) that i can't create folders and subfolders, but that i could browse by artist and albums (what i wanted with folders so it would be fine) and not only with playlist with the SSA plugin (or do i need viot to organize by artist, albums...?)
is SSA plugin enough to browse by artist/albums?
i've been on the howto category, but  i don"t understand all and it seems that i need linux...
how can I simply install SSA plugiin on my phatbox/kenwood keg under windows XP?
thanks.

VIOT is the kenwood SSA -- the way to enable SSA is outlined at http://wiki.phathack.com/VIOT

cool it works!!! thanks for all (but ssa is not optimised for touch screens, could be much better...for exemple, switch automaticly to album mode when artist is selectionned...)
just a few more questions, plugin is on dms, but is it into phatbox, if i erase dms, will i loose plugin?
another question, what does VIOT give that SSA don't provide?
and anyone has a SSA optimized?
thanks to this very nice and helpful forum!

The only difference with VIOT is that it includes AT&T Natural Voices for speech generation

If you erase things manually from the DMS, chances are you will lose the plugin and you'll have to re-install it.

If you use PhatNoise Media/Music Manager the plugin shouldn't be touched.
Kenwood KDC-W7031 | Kenwood KHD-CX910 | 250GB DMS | PhatHack Media Manager v1.1.4 (Alpha) | VIOT

Catch me weekdays 8am-4pm GMT on IRC @ irc.freenode.net on channel #phathack (aka the chat link!!)

I believe it'll also keep the plugin enabled until the phatbox is disconnected from power... but eventually if it's not on the DMS it will stop working
