6 years ago I have some suggestions how to handle this:
- use wind_update(BEG_UPDATE) only, in this case could you use extension of this call like this wind_update(BEG_UPDATE|0x100) like this wind_update() not wait until the screen is released and return 1 if the screen was able to lock the screen for your application else 0. Then in this case you can do something else to continue to be able to manage sound.
- you should probably manage yourself extended file selector if available. In fact I have another solution for MyAES, very simple, I can decide to not stop process returning immediately CANCEL information, display the file selector and when a file is selected send a VA_START to the application for MxPlay that support VA_START I not see any issue with this, should work nicely, a simple appl_control() call could set the use of file selector as this or add an option in MyAES config to force this option for an application.
- There is a small issue for save playlist it doesn't work as of course VA_START is not for this so better is to manage this case with application. To have free selector: appl_control(aes_id, 17,"app_free_fsel=true" ); to remove option: appl_control(aes_id, 17,"app_free_fsel=false" );
