sncviewer plugin

[mmmoose]

Thanks for the help.  Don't worry, I got it working a month ago, not now.  It's just a belated reply.

The lyrics themselves work great!  There's one small problem, though (I kept procrastinating on bringing this up, heh).  Where does the plugin read the song artist, song title, and next track info from?  I have Unicode (UTF-16) tags in Japanese, and Japanese filenames, as well (filenames made in Windows XP).  Rockbox and the iriver firmwares both read them correctly, but when I start the sncviewer plugin, the song artist/title info and the next track info show up garbled.  Any idea what the problem could be?

[(:@)]

the system font (rockbox_default.fnt) doesn't contain any asian character, therefore next track only shows placeholders for the japanese characters.

what i don't understand, is that artist/title from the current track are garbled. the plugin gets the artist, title and next track information from the rockbox plugin interface (audio_current_track, audio_next_track).

[mmmoose]

The current track has the same placeholders as next track, so I assume that's defaulting back to the system font as well.  Is there any way to change/set the font for those?

[(:@)]

the plugin should display:
statusbar, timebar, next : system font
artist/title and lyrics: same font as wps

can you post a snapshot of your display?

Sorry, there seems to be some confusion on my part.  A clarification:
I have an H140.  The Japanese artist and song titles displays fine on the main unit itself.  It's on the remote that it comes out garbled.  The remote doesn't show the next song, though; that only shows up on the main unit, and that's where that comes out garbled.

Hi

Is this plugin working with an Ipod photo 4G?

I have an 'incompatible model" error.

Thanks

i've uploaded a binary version for the ipod 4g on the first page. you can try it out.
but it's always better to build it yourself:

If you have already set up the development environment and can compile rockbox, all you need to do is copy the sncviewer.c file to the /apps/plugins directory and add the line

sncviewer.c

to the top of the /apps/plugins/SOURCES file.

Distributing compiled binaries is a problem as they tend to go out of date quickly with changes to the API.

Hum the 4g version doesn't work

I will try to setup the development tool and compilate myself

But if I compilate myself, what difference will it do? this will be working for sure ?

Thanks

I find the keymap for the iriver H10 to be a bit confusing and counterintuitive. Ill see if i can think of some way of making it better with the limited buttons available...

Other than that, it's a great plugin.

Did anyone tried this on the Gigabeat F? If yes, where to download it?

Thanks
