Custom TagNavi

[scarfy]

I'm trying to create my own tagnavi file, but I'm having some issues.

The result I'm after is this,

Code: [Select]

<artist - album> - <track>

so, for example,

Code: [Select]

Snow Patrol - Final Straw -> 07. Run

My custom tagnavi looks like this,

Code: [Select]

#! rockbox/tagbrowser/2.0

%format "fmt_artist_album" "%s - %s" artist album

%menu_start "custom"  "Album"
"Album" -> album = "fmt_artist_album"

However, this doesn't seem to work; the list is always empty.

Is it not possible to format the database this way?

This reason I am trying to do this is because I have a number of compilation albums, and browsing by artist alone means that I end up with dozens of artists with only one song to their name. It's a bit of a chore to navigate, so I'd rather condense them down.

I'm also running out of room on my Sandisk, so having to make use of an SD card, and I'd rather not chop and change between the two if the database can collect all the information in one place for me.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Try this:

Code: [Select]

#! rockbox/tagbrowser/2.0

%format "fmt_artist_album" "%s - %s" artist album

%menu_start "custom"  "Album"
"Album" -> title = "fmt_artist_album"

The navigation line always has to end with the 'title' tag.

Plus, if you really want

Code: [Select]

<artist - album> - <track>

You'll need

Code: [Select]

%format "fmt_artist_album" "%s - %s - %s" artist album title
