re FS#4988, backlight on when plugins are running

(1/2) > >>

Zardoz:
The patch to allow, optionally, keeping the backlight on when using a plugin was originally committed and then reverted due to "bin size cost". I just wondered what was the cost and how it impacted on Rockbox generally, as it seems like a useful idea?

saratoga:
Since its ancient, I doubt anyone remembers off hand.  Why not check the IRC logs or else apply it yourself and see how much the bin size increases?

Zardoz:
Ok good idea I guess.  ;)  Just asked as it had popped up in recent feature requests/...discussion

EDIT: 'ancient' being a relative term

Llorean:
Mpegplayer can currently override backlight settings. This can be added to other plugins without additional bincost I'm sure.

Zardoz:
Is the code common to all plugins? I mean is it the same code? (sorry if this question is stupd but i don't understand any code let alone C)
