Display track time/position on c250?
« on: July 07, 2008, 10:33:16 AM »
Hi,

This seems like it should be obvious, but I can't find the answer anywhere.  So here goes...  I'm using a Sansa c250.  On the Now Playing screen, is there any way to display the time of the currently-playing track position?  I've got long 3+ hour tracks I'm listening to, and seeking specific places in the tracks is tricky without being able to see the time. 

Thanks for any help!

You can edit the WPS file with a text editor. It's /.rockbox/wps/cabbiev2.wps

I am a c250 user as well, so hey. ;D

For your reference, here are two Wiki pages related to WPS editing.

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SimpleGuideToWPSMaking


EDIT2: Okay, I edited the WPS so that the time elapsed shows up on the fourth line for five seconds; then the "Next Track" display shows up for four; and it repeats.
Rename the file from editedcabbiev2.txt to editedcabbiev2.wps . Copy it to /.rockbox/wps on your DAP. To be on the safe side, make a copy of the cabbiev2 folder in there and rename the copy to editedcabbiev2.
Hope this helps you. :)

I messed with it a little bit. It now shows elapsed time on the left, total time in the middle, and time remaining on the right. It'll show this for 5 seconds (like before) before switching to "Next Track", which now stays for a second longer (5 seconds).

I might submit it to the WPS Gallery, because I think a lot of c200 users would like this if they knew about it. Since the modification is small, I won't even stick in my name. This is still Marc Guay's (and "Zinc Alloy"'s) work, ultimately. :)

Object now if anyone deems the submission wrong.

EDIT: D'oh! I never did attach the file. :-[
