Bookmark (.bmark) file format

(1/2) > >>

alewbail:
Is there a description of the '.bmark' file format somewhere?  I want to build a '.bmark' file using my own home-built utility, but can't find a description.  I can see that each line describes one bookmark, and have been able to figure out some of the entries on the line.  Each line is of the form

<a>;<b>;<c>;<d>;<e>;<f>;<g>;<h>;<i>

where

<a> is the item number in the playlist (starting from zero)
<b> is ?
<c> is ?
<d> is ?
<e> is the timestamp of the bookmark, in milliseconds
<f> is ?
<g> is ?
<h> is the playlist name or folder path
<i> is the filename

I'm looking for help with the remaining "?" items.  Thanks.

[P.S. Is there documentation showing the format of all the various RockBox-related files?  Is it all in one place?  I know there are such descriptions of the '.cfg' and '.wps' files in the User's Manual, but I'm wondering about the more obscure ones, like '.m3u8', '.bmark', and '.tcd'.]

AlexP:
m3u8 is a utf8 encoded m3u file, and is a standard playlist format.

The others aren't documented that I know of, except for in the code.

If you want to look at the code, you might try apps/bookmark.c around line 208.

After reviewing "bookmark.c" and a couple other routines, here is an updated definition:

<a>;<b>;<c>;<d>;<e>;<f>;<g>;<h>;<i>

where

<a> is the item number in the playlist or folder (starting from zero)
<b> is the "resume offset": bookmark 'time' in bytes
                                     (bytes from the beginning of the file)
<c> is the "resume seed": (?)
<d> is the "resume first index": (?)
<e> is the timestamp of the bookmark, in milliseconds
<f> is the repeat mode flag (0=no,1=?,2=?,...)
<g> is the shuffle flag (0=no,1=yes)
<h> is the playlist name or folder path
<i> is the filename

Although there are still a couple items I don't understand ("resume seed", "resume first index"), this should give me enough information to proceed.

Thanks for the help.

torne:
Resume seed will be the seed value used for the shuffle, so that the playlist remains in the same shuffled order on resume.
