SOFTWARE VERSION: 2.2009.51-1 EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 1. Change the station name using "fmtx_client -s test" EXPECTED OUTCOME: The station name is changed, and the new station name is displayed. ACTUAL OUTCOME: The station name is changed (internally), but the new station name is not displayed. REPRODUCIBILITY: always OTHER COMMENTS: If the string is padded to 8 characters, the new station name is displayed. See the discussion on bug 7271 for more details, especially comment 3: Aldon Hynes in bug 7271: > fmtx_client -s test > will fail > however > fmtx_client -s "test " > works properly, at least on my machine. The purpose of this enhancement is that the fmtx_client utility should automatically pad short station names with spaces at the end, so that the FM radio connected to the transmitter will show the station name, even if the "fmtx_client -s test" command is used.
I recommend filing this as a bug to see if it gets attention from the developers. Otherwise the most probable is that will stay here totally under the radar.
station innfo txt also needs to be a multiple of 8
"Fixed in fmtx-middleware 0.53. Padding is now applied on fmtx-middleware and length of station name is limited to 8 characters."
This has been fixed in package fmtx-middleware 0.53+0m5 which is part of the internal build version 10.2010.05-8 (Note: 2010 is the year, and the number after is the week.) A future public update released with the year/week later than this internal build version will include the fix. (This is not always already the next public update.) Please verify that this new version fixes the bug by marking this bug report as VERIFIED after the public update has been released and if you have some time. To answer popular followup questions: * Nokia does not announce release dates of public updates in advance. * There is currently no access to these internal, non-public build versions. A Brainstorm proposal to change this exists at http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/undelayed_bugfix_releases_for_nokia_open_source_packages-002/
Setting explicit PR1.2 milestone (so it's clearer in which public release the fix will be available to users). Sorry for the bugmail noise (you can filter on this message).
