JB 6000: two questions about the plugins and the voice menu

[FLH_Sky]

Hello,

first I'd like to thank all the developers of Rockbox, it's so great what you make out of the JB 6000 really thanks

But now my questions:

1. here http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginIndex are a lot of plugins mentioned and I would like to use them, but I can't find a link to download them! help?!?

2. the voice menu is working great on my JB6000, but I wonder if it's possible to cut of the file extentions like "breaking the habit.mp3"? how can I adjust the voice menu that it only tells me the titel of an mp3 file but without the mp3 extention?

I hope you can help.

Best regards
Friedrich

1) They are already in the .rockbox/rocks directory of your rockbox installation. You run them by selecting "Browse plugins"  in the menu. If they aren't there, they are not compatible with your type of player. Do you have a recorder or a player/studio?

2) I haven't used the voice feature myself, so i don't know the answer.

Are you using the voicebox script to generate the filenames? The script reads extensions, as I set it up to create mp3 clips for mp3, m3u, and cfg files, and wanted to be able to differentiate between them. It wouldn't be much trouble to have it skip extensions, however; that could be set up as an option in the config file. Let me know if that is something you'd like to have.

yes I use the script to create the voice files.
it would be great if you can tell me the "skip extensions" option
because on some musiv titel the "dot mp3" sounds very funny!

Well, it doesn't exist yet. I have to write it first. If you don't mind editing the script yourself, you can get it to skip the extensions by inserting the following two lines in the voiceUtils.vbs file.:

  LastDot   = InStrRev(ClipSpeak,".",-1,1)
  ClipSpeak = Left(ClipSpeak,LastDot-1)

These should go right after the line that says

  Log_file.WriteLine("File: "&Item&"\"&ClipSpeak&" voiced")

and before the line that says

  Call TextToMP3(ClipSpeak,WavFile,TalkFile)

This doesn't give you the option to turn extensions on and off yet; that'll require an update to the INI file and its reader, and another if/then. It'll give you what you want right now, OTOH.

yeah that's what I want!!!
really big thanks to you man, now I can enjoy my JB6000 fully with voice menu.

thanks!!!
