new toy to play with... playlist viewer in WPS (FS#10898)
Chronon:
Yes, it may contain all tracks on the player (or more even).
The discussion just caught my eye and reminded me of this patch, in particular these comments by the author:
--- Quote ---Supporting EXTM3U format has several potential benefits:
1. Instead of displaying filenames, track title and length can easily be viewed when viewing playlist (currently I think there is a patch that does it by opening each file).
2. Length of playlist can be readily calculated by summing, which can have some interesting applications such as finding how much time is left in current playlist. (Currently this is not possible yet with this patch, but I'm still thinking of possible solutions).
--- End quote ---
I can see that finding the total playtime for playlists of arbitrary length could be problematic even without the problem of opening each file.
JdGordon:
I havnt looked at the extm3u patch, and I wouldnt have any problem accepting it if its done correctly, especially now we have this which would put it to good use. the hard thing is storing all that extra info safely.

Do 18 viewports qualify if they're conditional viewports? ;D
I obviously had some fun with your playlist viewer today and I noticed some things:
1. The %fn tag works like the %fm tag (->it does show the file extension) while %fm does not work at all.
Being able to leave out the file extension would be nice since file names tend to be pretty long and screen space is limited
2. The %d1,%d2,... tags would also be nice. Assuming a proper folder structure (Artist/Album/title.mp3), you could still provide useful information even without ID3-tags in most cases.
JdGordon:
Post the wps.. looks gooood
Biont:
It's on the theme site for Cowon D2 (and iPod Video, I guess)
