new toy to play with... playlist viewer in WPS (FS#10898)

<< < (2/9) > >>

JdGordon:
nope, I have no idea what you are trying to say :)
by the way, the end value isnt defined, it goes by the size of the viewport, so if there is enough for 3 lines, 3 lines will be displayed.

I originally wanted to be able to display something like:
4: previous
5: current <- the track that is currently playing
6: next
7: next+1

which is why the start offset is important (not everyone is going to want to see the previous and current track).

Also, from a codeing point of view, looking back to see if any tokens were used is bad.

you have the real playlist viewer available in the wps context menu which is much more useful than this.

I see your point about not reading time for all of the tracks in the playlist - perhaps it would be useful to display a total time for the tracks available in the buffer.  The playlist viewer does not display any times at all.

Anyway, thanks for all of your contributions in making Rockbox a great product.

As much as I too wish there were a way to display a total time for all tracks in the buffer (don't worry!  I understand why it's a nodo) I do not see the value in displaying the total playtime left in the buffer.

I can not think for an honest use for this, outside the entertainment of watching the number go down and up, down and up.

JdGordon:
oh yeah! I got a very limited parser/displayer working :D



Those top 3 lines are being drawn from the skin line "|%pp.%ia - %it|"

Heaven forbid that we would think a feature be added to Rockbox just for entertainment.  ;D
