"Add To Playlist" patch
Road Runner:
Like many other users, I think playlists are neglected way too much in rockbox :p
and would love to see it changed (currently patching btw)
I just had one question:
Shebb: what's your text editor program? Vim? Emacs? Pine? .... WORD?!
LinusN:
I am reviewing your patch, and I must say that it is definitely a step in the right direction.
Comments:
- Several strings aren't localized (the error messages)
- When you add your first playlist to the catalog, you get an unnecessary error message "No catalog found"
- I want to move the "Playlist catalog" entry to the top main menu (the catalog browser)
- Perhaps it would be cleaner to use the gui_synclist API directly instead of the menu API
- When you play a playlist from the catalog browser, it doesn't take you to the WPS

I just loaded lenny's build this morning and found one problem with using this patch. Once you enter the context menu there is no way to "browse back". It seems like "browse back" triggers "exit menu" instead of "return to previous menu". For instance, go into "Playlist catalog" then try to go back one menu. Doesn't work. It goes back to the file browser instead.

Perhaps I'm alone in this but it seems that after loading lenny's build I have major problems playing tracks from a playlist (.m3u file). The tracks are all there, it tries to play them, but after about 3 or 4 tracks it just simply stops ("hangs") when it tries to load the next song. I see it buffering data from the disk but playback never starts. I can hit track foward followed by a track backward and it starts up playing just fine. Loading up a full directory works just fine. Is it possible I still have a jacked playlist file that's causing this breakage?
Assimalyst:
It could be a problem with the codec loader, which has been fixed, but perhaps still exists in lennys build which is a few days old.
The probelm occurs whenever the codec changes, so if your first 4 tracks are MP3, they'll be fine, then the 5th is OGG, the WPS will display OK, but the playback remains at 0.00
Edit: If you want to PM me your email i'll send you my build, latest bleeding edge (060128-1456), has the codec loader fix in it plus A-B repeat etc. (file's too big to attach).
